 Walking With Wolves - unleashing hidden potential

Walking With Wolves is an intensive two-day course, and is a progression from IDH’s “Women In Leadership – The Confident Leader”. It covers a wide range of topics, including the challenges faced by women in leadership, emotional intelligence, self-confidence and assertiveness, and changing behaviour and perceptions. Plus, of course, the programme now carries an ILM Level 5 Development Award. However, the highlight for many delegates is undoubtedly when they get the chance to walk with wolves in rural north Bedfordshire.

“The name ‘Walking With Wolves’ had been sitting in my subconscious for some time,” explains Pauline Stewart. “Then I saw a magazine article about the Anglia Wolf Society and had a flash of inspiration! I thought that we could match the alpha female behaviour within a wolf pack to spiritual healing behavioural characteristics of today’s successful business women. I called Phil Watson at the Society, and I’m delighted to say that he thought the concept was sound and agreed to help.”

According to Phil, the alpha female plays a pivotal role in every pack of wolves. Along with the alpha male, they control access to resources, exploit other pack members’ strengths and weaknesses, and they can expertly manipulate situations and individuals. spiritual healing they are confident, socially independent and good at turning a situation to their advantage. “The wolves buff and rebuff each other all the time; there is constant social testing,” Phil comments. “These are highly intelligent creatures, and they remember what they got away with…. and what they didn’t!”

Pauline adds, “Although survival in the wild demands cruel actions which aren't seen in the workplace, thank goodness, examination of the alpha wolf's strategies provide real food for thought about the way we can usefully assert ourselves when it matters.”

IDH are keen to point out that Walking With Wolves is not just for women. Men are welcome on the course because it examines the different ways in which men and women think and act. “If you’re a male senior manager who wants to support and develop the Discounts street clinic cosmetic surgery in your team, then this course could be extremely enlightening,” says Pauline. “Plus of course, if a company would like to send a men-only delegation, then we’d be delighted to design a bespoke programme just for them.”
