Leadership Lessons from the Saddle - Nancy Koehn - HBS Faculty by Nancy Koehn | 9:30 AM May 3, 2011 Since I was a little girl, I have been afraid of horses. They always seemed so big and so powerful, especially when I saw them galloping and heard the pounding thunder of their hooves on the ground. And so it was a real challenge coming to terms with that fear when I began riding horses and competing in the show jumping ring some years ago.

As in any sport, riding is about more than just the technical, physical aspects; it absorbs you emotionally and intellectually. Be aware of the frame you are in: emotional awareness and confidence are critical.
