DEVELOPMENT

Horses are natural mirrors — they respond instantly and honestly to our energy, body language, and emotional state. This creates powerful, real-time feedback that traditional training simply can't replicate.

Meet Wendy Firmin-Price

Wendy is a business coach, leadership and team-building trainer, award-winning author and speaker with decades of experience working with everyone from emerging leaders to executive teams and directors of global organisations.

A child-preneur from the age of 13 and now a multi-business owner, she brings a practical, commercial lens to people development — focusing on what actually shifts behaviour at work: clarity, accountability, communication and trust.

Her programmes deliver stronger leadership presence, improved collaboration, reduced friction, and cultures where people take ownership rather than wait to be managed.

For organisations seeking experiential learning with measurable impact, Wendy also offers equine-assisted leadership development — where the horses provide immediate, unbiased feedback that accelerates insight far beyond the classroom.

Why Work With Wendy?

Is this just another theoretical leadership model?

No. Wendy's work aligns with CIPD principles of effective people development — learning that is relevant, experiential, reflective and embedded into practice. Her programmes move beyond theory to create observable behavioural change in leadership capability, team dynamics and organisational culture.

Does Wendy understand commercial realities, or is this all "soft skills"?

As a child-preneur from the age of 13 and now a multi-business owner, Wendy understands the realities HR teams face — balancing wellbeing, performance and business outcomes. Her approach integrates emotional intelligence, accountability and psychological safety without compromising on standards or results.

Will this create lasting change, or just a temporary buzz?

Wendy focuses on the drivers of behaviour at work — beliefs, communication patterns, decision-making under pressure and leadership presence. This supports sustainable change rather than short-term motivation, directly contributing to engagement, retention and performance.

Can Wendy work with our senior leadership as well as our managers?

Yes. From first-time managers and solo-entrepreneurs to executive teams and directors of global organisations, Wendy works confidently across seniority levels. This makes her a trusted partner for HR teams seeking consistency in leadership culture across the organisation.

What makes the equine-assisted work different from traditional training?

Horses provide immediate, unbiased feedback on leadership behaviours — accelerating insight, accountability and learning transfer back into the workplace. It's experiential learning aligned with CIPD's emphasis on learning through experience and reflection, with measurable impact.

Is this a safe environment, or will people feel exposed?

Wendy creates environments where people feel safe to reflect, challenge assumptions and take responsibility for change. Her style balances empathy with clear boundaries, supporting honest conversations that strengthen trust and collaboration.

What outcomes can HR actually report on?

At the heart of Wendy's work is authenticity — helping people lead and work in alignment with their values. This supports ethical leadership, inclusive cultures and sustained organisational health, all while delivering practical outcomes HR can evidence and report on.
