ART at Work: Collaborate + Innovate
Adapt ● Respond ● Transform
December 2014 -The Innolect Community experimented with Innolect’s latest Excursion Learning event, Art at Work. Collaboration requires team members to look beyond themselves and work toward a common goal. Since many “artists” or team members find it difficult to invite others into their creations, art provides the ultimate test for putting egos asidefor the greater good. In most cases, art is an individual process that rarely welcomes the inclusion of others who may not share the same artistic vision. Yet, for team members who need to gain the most from working collaboratively, creating art collaboratively offers a powerful learning experience. Our process demonstrates the benefits of genuine collaboration when the outcome truly belongs to everyone on the team. Teams learn to communicate, collaborate and adapt to change in a dynamic, energizing environment.

Innolect tests its “Horsepower”
The Innolect team visited Rosehill Stables in Monroe, NC to check out our “horsepower” and sample our own excursion learning type of experience. It seems that horses are quietly becoming a great way for executives to learn about their presence and leadership style. Horses require their leaders to be clear in their communication, consistent with what they are asking, calmly assertive, and constantly attentive. In the workshop, participants’ body language gets mirrored to them by the horses, revealing behaviors, emotional responses, coping mechanisms, and how leaders are most likely perceived by other people, particularly co-workers. Horses show participants the skills required in knowing who they are, finding their position in the “herd” and being truly confident in their professional life. Using “your horse is your mirror”, we experienced various exercises designed to bring out our leadership abilities. We were encouraged to experientially learn what kind of reflection is created with our own behaviors, both vocal and non-vocal. Our own experience will be used to refine our design for an excursion learning package Innolect will be offering to executive coaching clients as part of their executive presence and leadership development plan.
