Joint Meeting Oxford WSA & Huron-Perth WSA March 7 2019
“Embracing change on the farm…Living an intentional life by Elaine Froese”
Elaine Froese is a professional speaker, writer, and coach who specializes in helping farm families work through issues surrounding succession, business or that family favourite – communication. ... She creates a safe place for families to meet, plan for change and clarify expectations. She offers farm families straight talk and courageous conversations on the issues that seem impossible to resolve.
I’m Elaine Froese, a lifelong farmer. Every day, I use my background in conflict resolution and communication to help fellow growers and ranchers face make-or-break issues head on -- so they can focus on the business of farming. Starting with 4-H presentations in Manitoba at age nine and moving on to audiences today in Mexico, Australia and beyond, I have always understood that communication is the key to building trust and understanding, especially when your family members are your business partners. I have personally experienced the stresses and frustrations that only families in today’s agriculture climate understand. I have seen it all, heard it all, and survived it all -- from buying the in-laws’ farm, the isolation of farm life, a sudden illness or death in the family, and every crisis you can imagine. I’ve given families worldwide the practical tools they need to save their marriages, hold onto their farms and gain some much-needed peace of mind.
Elaine will be speaking to us about:
Embracing Change on the farm …. Living an intentional life
Finding Fairness in Farm Transition
Farming’s In-law Factor 2018 and answers questions
After Lunch we will have a Line dance demonstration by Jannie van Roekel.
This entire day will be for and about (farm)women. Join us for this momentous day!
Tickets available at the 1st meeting by Caren Duizer after that meeting only prepaid online at ticketscene.ca or from Gerda Schryver and Marianne Veldman.
Early bird ticket buyers are emailed a free eBook from Elaine Froese!
Ticket price including Lunch & coffee and tea $ 40.00 p.p. can be ordered until February 28, 2019
