Connections 101

Linda Kohanov, best selling author of ‘Tao of Equus’, founder of Eponaquest has created an exciting new online course called Connections 101!

Course Content:
Through her work with horses, Linda Kohanov has spent her career helping people better understand themselves and others verbal and nonverbal cues. In this course, she shares research on emotional and social intelligence, leadership, and some of the more adventurous aspects of consciousness through the lens of horse behavior. She teaches skills that you can immediately use at home, at work, and in larger community contexts, skills that enhance all your relationships, help you manage stress, and allow you to help others manage their emotional and behavioral responses.

Course Structure:
Connections 101 is a new adaptation of workshops that Linda has been teaching to thousands of individuals over the past decade. In this self-paced online course, Linda takes seven hours of lecture, story telling, scientific background, and practical exercises and conveniently breaks them down into three major lessons over 33 bite-sized videos. There are also handouts, suggested readings, and a relaxing and inspiring music video composed by Linda and her husband, Grammy-nominated ambient music pioneer Steve Roach.
