Work With Us

We don't start with
a program.

We start by understanding what your organization is carrying — and where stronger leadership would change what becomes possible.

The Starting Point

We start by listening.

When I step into a round pen with a horse, I don't walk in assuming I already know what that horse needs.

I pay attention. How does it respond to pressure? Where is there resistance? Where is there confidence? What happens when I ask for something difficult?

The horse shows me where to begin.

Organizations aren't that different. We don't walk into your organization assuming we already know the problem — or arrive with a predetermined solution. We start by listening: to your leaders, to your people, to what's working, where the weight is being carried, and where leadership capacity needs to grow.

Discovery Before Prescription

Understand the people.
Then understand the work.

We start with conversation — understanding your people, your culture, where leadership is strong, where responsibility gets stuck, and where greater capacity needs to be developed.

Depending on the organization, that discovery may include conversations with key leaders, team input, or the PRAUS Leadership Discovery. The assessment is a tool when it helps us see more clearly — not a requirement for working together.

The goal isn't to diagnose your organization from the outside. It's to understand where the work needs to begin.

Your people will show us where to begin.

The Flagship Engagement

The PRAUS
Experience.

Build the Leader. Unify the Team. Multiply the Impact.

This is the fullest expression of PRAUS: an immersive leadership experience built around the real pressures, patterns, and opportunities inside your organization.

Typically delivered as a two-day, in-person experience for an intact leadership team or a group of individual leaders, the format is shaped around your organization's needs. The room becomes the work — conversation, reflection, challenge, practical frameworks, and application to the leadership your people are being asked to provide right now.

We begin with discovery and determine the right follow-up together. Ongoing coaching helps leaders apply the work consistently after they return to their teams.

THE EXPERIENCE Real people.
Real pressure.
Real leadership.

Keep The Momentum Alive

The experience creates momentum.
Consistency creates change.

One of the most important parts of developing a horse is consistency and persistence. One great ride doesn't create a finished horse. Development comes from asking, responding, adjusting, reinforcing — and doing the work again over time. Leadership develops much the same way.

01   CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT

PRAUS Implementation Coaching

A powerful experience can create awareness, energy and commitment. Then Monday comes. Old pressures return. Real conversations, decisions and leadership challenges test what was learned.

That's why coaching isn't an afterthought to the PRAUS Experience. Ongoing individual or small-group coaching creates consistent touchpoints where leaders can process real situations, apply PRAUS principles, receive challenge and support, and continue developing long after they leave the room.

The Experience creates momentum. Coaching creates consistency. Consistency creates change.

02   SPEAKING & KEYNOTES

Bring The Idea Into The Room

A keynote can be the spark that introduces a different way of thinking about strength, responsibility and leadership. Jon brings PRAUS to life through story, the horse, practical leadership application and conversations that stay with people after the event ends.

PRAUS keynotes can introduce Strength Surrendered to a larger audience or be shaped around the leadership challenges, themes and outcomes most relevant to your organization.

For conferences, company meetings, leadership events and organizations ready to ignite a meaningful conversation.

From The Room

“This was as good — maybe the best — training experience I've had in nearly 36 years in the ag retail business. They didn't talk at us, they spoke to us.”
