Since its establishment, Dreamwinds has delivered its programs to top organizations, including CIBC, Google, Cisco, American Express, Coca Cola, and GSK Pharmaceuticals. The leadership programs are designed to help teams build stronger communication, trust, and alignment. With a focus on experiential learning, the sessions promote the development of essential leadership qualities, such as authenticity, confidence, and clarity. According to Charlena Gaulin, a leader at CIBC, “The Dreamwinds experience is truly transformational and the results profound. The program leverages the incredible teachers we have in horses, who, without judgment, provide immediate feedback crystalizing our learning as to the impact of our behaviors.”
The Dreamwinds program is also notable for its flexibility and customization. Tailored to meet the specific needs and learning objectives of each group, the sessions can range from a half-day team-building exercise to a multi-day leadership retreat. Whether in the context of corporate leadership, high school and college sports team building, or women’s leadership workshops, Dreamwinds designs its events to maximize learning outcomes in a dynamic and engaging environment.
Another unique aspect of Dreamwinds is the organization’s commitment to the professional development of equine-assisted learning facilitators. Through its North American Certification Training, Dreamwinds trains individuals to become certified EAL facilitators. The program offers research-backed, objective-based exercises and is the only certification licensed by Cartier Farms, the originators of the Building Block Curriculum. Facilitators receive ongoing coaching and support, ensuring they have the necessary skills and resources to offer impactful EAL experiences.
For those interested in launching their own EAL programs, Dreamwinds provides a Quick Start Toolkit, as well as marketing and business training, to ensure success. In addition, Dreamwinds alumni have lifetime access to continuing education and advanced EAL certification, as well as membership in a vibrant and supportive community of facilitators.
Dreamwinds' long-standing reputation for excellence has earned them multiple accolades over the years. From 2014 to 2020, the company won several awards, including Entrepreneur of the Year, Best New Business, and Business Excellence awards. These recognitions reflect the high standards of practice and the lasting impact of Dreamwinds’ leadership and team-building programs.
Tracey Evans and her team at Dreamwinds continue to make a significant impact on the corporate and personal development landscapes. As Dreamwinds grows in North Carolina, they are preparing to host their first executive women's retreat in the fall of 2025, with future plans to expand the business and continue delivering world-class programs.
“Our work is truly about transformation—helping individuals and teams not only develop critical skills but also become better versions of themselves,” says Tracey Evans. “When you work with horses, you’re not just learning about leadership and teamwork—you’re learning about yourself, and that’s what makes it so powerful.”
