THE BOOK

Flying Lead Change: 56 Million Years of Wisdom for Leading and Living

Wendorf invites us to look to millions of years of evolutionary intelligence offered by nature and nature-based wisdom to meet the unprecedented challenges of today. Kelly Wendorf wrote Flying Lead Change in response to the ways our conventional approaches to living and leading no longer serve humanity or the planet. Using storytelling, evidence-based research, ancient earth-based principles, biomimicry, contemplative wisdom, and her uncompromising tutelage under indigenous elders, she opens the doors to a new way of seeing the world. Through that opening is a promise that we can thrive.

A message of hope and a call to step out of the conformity of outdated narratives and consensus reality, Kelly calls us forward into our birthright of joy and freedom. But the most powerful message comes from our equine brothers and sisters, members of a 56 million–year–old system–the horse herd. Their culture has ensured their success through geologic catastrophes, climate changes, and the threat of extinction…and they have much to share with us during our darkest time in human history.

Poignant, powerful, enlightening, and liberating, Flying Lead Change—56 Million Years of Wisdom for Leading and Living is an inspiring nonfiction book that supports readers in finding their voice, reclaiming their self-agency, and participating in the heart-and-mind shift necessary to alter humanity's destiny.
