RALEIGH, N.C. - TelAve -- When leaders face chaos, most reach for frameworks built for a predictable world. June Gunter, Ed.D., founder and CEO of TeachingHorse, LLC, and Nicole Parks, Communications Director, are offering something different: leadership lessons drawn from horses. Their new book, Chaos to Clarity: A TeachingHorse Field Guide for Finding a Way Forward, is now available online through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the TeachingHorse website.

Horses have navigated uncertainty for 50 million years, not by eliminating it, but by reading it, and leading through it together. Gunter's field guide translates that survival intelligence into a practical framework for human leaders navigating disruption.

At the heart of the book is Gunter's Diamond Model of Shared Leadership™, a 4-capability framework built around Attention, Direction, Energy, and Congruence. These are the capabilities horses use to assess and follow a leader. Gunter shows leaders how to apply this model through reflection prompts, field exercises, and case studies.
