Equilera

Leadership is an odyssey of personal authentic growth that empowers the collective. We facilitate journeys where purpose, intrinsic happiness, and individual development are inextricably linked to organizational success, fostering a culture where every milestone of personal achievement propels the organization forward. We call it 'Eudaimonic Leadership.',” says Nicole Lehrer, Managing Director of Equilera.

Transforming Organisations through Eudaimonic Leadership

Equilera’s philosophy is rooted in the concept of eudaimonia. Articulated by Aristotle, this notion of flourishing and happiness from within is central to Equilera’s ethos. The company applies this ancient wisdom to modern business challenges. Under Nicole Lehrer's guidance, Equilera reshapes organisational cultures, advocating purpose-driven leadership, continuous personal and professional growth, nurturing inner well-being, social engagement and holistic connection. These principles inspire innovation and resilience, enhancing productivity and fostering a culture where well-being and success coexist. Eudaimonic wellness is crucial for leaders to navigate business challenges with flexibility, emotional intelligence and agility.

Lehrer has established Equilera as a prominent player in the coaching industry through a unique blend of neuroscience-based strategies, horse-assisted coaching methodologies and an in-depth understanding of human behaviour.

Harnessing Neuroscience and Horse-Assisted Coaching

Equilera not only stands out with “Eudaimonic leadership” but also its integration of neuroscience and horse-assisted training. This blend of science and experiential learning provides deep insights into human behaviour.

This experiential learning, facilitated through the intuitive nature of horses, provides a unique, interactive experience that transcends conventional methods. Horses act as sensitive, intuitive mirrors, reflecting the emotions and mostly unconscious behaviors of individuals they interact with. This mirroring effect is pivotal in helping leaders and professionals gain a deeper understanding of their attitude in communication, emotional intelligence, and leadership style. By integrating Eudaimonia – the pursuit of authentic fulfillment – with the science-backed and experiential insights offered by horse-assisted training, Equilera sets a new standard in leadership and personal development training.

This combination, along with methodologies like the Zurich Resource Model (ZRM©) and Horse Assisted Agile Leadership (HAGILE©), enables tailored strategies for each client. A testament to Equilera's innovative approach is its collaboration with the University of St. Gallen (HSG), one of the world’s top business schools. This partnership underlines the firm's commitment to integrating academic insights with practical leadership strategies, providing a rich, multidisciplinary perspective to its clients. Under Lehrer’s guidance, leaders develop a deeper understanding of human behaviour, fostering sustainable growth for individuals and organisations. It underscores the commitment to authentic, lasting change.

Empowering Women in Leadership

A key aspect of Equilera’s offering is its dedicated program for women leaders. This initiative encompasses leadership development, confidence building, mentorship and networking opportunities. The program is designed to empower women, addressing specific challenges and promoting an inclusive leadership style. Equilera's commitment here is clear – to support women in becoming influential and inspiring leaders.

Lehrer's background in the financial industry and extensive leadership experience, combined with the team's expertise in strategic business planning, provide a holistic approach to organisational development. Equilera combines practical industry knowledge with HR and coaching strategies, ensuring clients receive guidance based on a comprehensive understanding of real-world experiences.
