Monty Roberts

Monty Roberts, often referred to as the "Horse Whisperer," revolutionized horse training with his gentle, nonviolent method known as "Join-Up®." This technique emphasizes establishing a relationship of communication, trust, and respect with horses, which he describes in his New York Times bestseller "The Man Who Listens to Horses." Roberts' methods are not only effective with animals but have also proven beneficial in various human interactions, demonstrating their versatility in personal and professional settings alike.

In addition to "The Man Who Listens to Horses," he authored "Horse Sense for People," which applies his equine training principles to improving human relationships and communication. His approach has garnered international recognition, leading to a biographical film, "The Horse Whisperer," starring Robert Redford. Roberts' expertise has earned him numerous accolades, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Zurich and a special award from the California Air Force Association for his support to veterans.

Roberts' influence extends beyond the ranch into corporate environments, where he has worked with over 250 major companies, including American Express and Disney. His keynote addresses and workshops emphasize the power of nonverbal communication and trust, inspiring a wide range of professionals, from executives to HR directors. By applying the principles of Join-Up® to corporate training, Roberts has helped improve team performance and resolve conflicts, illustrating the broad applicability of his methods. His ongoing commitment to teaching and his active engagement in speaking globally underline his dedication to improving both equine welfare and human communication.
