The Groundwork Programme
Because Leadership isn't about titles or traits, it's a way of being.
​
Working alongside our herd of horses, we create conditions for mutually trusting, respectful, and influential relationships with others. It's honest, embodied, and lasting. Horses respond to presence, not job titles. That makes them extraordinarily effective at highlighting the patterns shaping how your people lead, connect, and work together.
​
Whether you're feeling stuck, need to look honestly at how you show up, or you're simply ready to lead better, our Leadership Programme invites you into the deeper work.
It's six months of equine-assisted group work, 1:1 coaching, and therapy sessions (if you want them).
​
If you're looking for something that actually shifts things, we'd love to talk.
Our Facilitators
The people who lead this work bring something you won't find in most leadership development programmes — a genuine meeting of psychological depth, embodied practice, and hard-won experience of leading through the messy, uncertain reality of organisational life. Between them, Emily and Beth have worked with hundreds of individuals across sectors, held spaces that required real courage, and navigated change from the inside.
​
Dr Emily Walters is a Counselling Psychologist who has spent the last six years leading Hope Meadows. She thrives at the intersection of relationship, embodied belonging, and human potential. She brings both deep psychological understanding and lived leadership experience to this programme, and a genuine belief that the most important development happens when people feel safe enough to be honest.
​
Beth Fuller brings together life coaching, counselling, and yoga practice, not as separate disciplines, but as a coherent understanding of how people function and grow. Having led in education and now heading up our Alternative Provision, she knows what it takes to reach people that conventional approaches have missed. She brings that same creativity and care to her work with leaders.

Intrigued?
The best place to start is with a conversation. Whether you're ready to commit or just turning something over in your mind, we're happy to talk it through.
Get in touch and we'll find a time — we'll ask a few questions about where you are and what you're looking for, and give you a honest sense of whether we think this is the right fit with no pitch and no pressure.
