The Natural Leader
Nancy Lowery: Founder

As founder and president of The Natural Leader, Nancy has helped to create groundbreaking learning experiences in leadership and team development using horses as the teacher. She states that, "Much of what I know about leading teams I learned from my horses," a perspective which Nancy has explored over the past 15 years managing projects for clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Procter & Gamble, Nokia, Disney and Parks Canada.

A skilled rider, facilitator and riding coach Nancy recognizes it's not what we say but how we say it that leaves a lasting impression. Thinking creatively and strategically is something that comes naturally to Nancy employing those skills in the programs she creates and delivers to the corporate sector or to kids in her 4H group.
