Discuss the Undiscussabull™: Tools for Talking About Tough Issues in Life…and Farm Transfer!

  • Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
  • Conflict avoidance is the biggest barrier to the next generation’s succession success. Elaine Froese provides practical conflict resolution tools to help families have courageous conversations for business continuance and to reduce family tensions. Founders typically want to know where their income streams will be after they let go of power and control of management and/or ownership. They also have marital conflicts about home residence issues and how to be fair to non-business heirs.

    The next generation can’t wait to gain equity and more decision-making power. Young farmers are smart, tech-savvy, and want to have their opinions heard by parents and respected. They also need certainty that timelines for transfer and succession agreements will be honoured. Add the conflict dynamics of a new spouse and you have many interesting conversations ahead! Elaine Froese’s expertise is her practical common sense approach to starting courageous conversations between the generations, and auditing the key challenges.

    You’ll gain insight into the tools you need to talk about tough succession issues and then act on them with agreements that work for the different demands of each stage and age of the successor or founder. Learn to listen to your head, heart, and your “gut”. Elaine delivers actionable information that farm business owners and managers can implement today. She challenges farm family businesses to get “unstuck” and not accept the high anxiety and stress of poor decision-making. Her tools are grounded in years of working with farm succession planning and coaching. Her award winning book Planting the Seed of Hope helps build insight and trust quickly with families seeking tools for dealing with conflict and change.

Elaine Froese Speaking Testimonials

Elaine came to our community in Dominion City and talked about how rural communities could be vibrant communities by working together. In her workshop she made us really think about who we were and who we would like to be. It made us realize that what a community becomes is really within itself. People can get together and talk about their visions for their community and make it happen. It was a really positive experience and she did an excellent job of leading us in that discussion.

Harold Penner

Canadian Food Grains Bank

Our experience with Elaine was very beneficial. We did a presentation called “The Death of a Farmer” to talk about certain things you need to address during times of a death or in preparation for it. Our involvement with Elaine was fantastic. She brought a lot more of the emotional side to the issue. A lot of the issues you tend to ignore or put to the side, she brings to the forefront. To address those tough areas was important to our clients… During the seminar, Elaine would be speaking and you’d see the wife elbowing the husband saying ‘This is something we’ve got to do.’ They left the seminar inspired and motivated to take action.

Mark Verwey

Partner
BDO Canada

We do a lot of business with farmers — estate planning, disability insurance, etc. — and Elaine works in the industry and is very knowledgeable. She works with farm families and shows them how to solve their problems. We liked her human approach – she’s aware of the stress issues that a lot of farmers have and felt that she was the right person to talk to us. Many of my clients had already used her services and before and were in love with her and I’ve heard so many good things about her. We were really impressed with what she had to say.

George Malstrom

Faith Life Financial

When I heard Elaine was going to be a presenter at our BDO Farm Seminar, I was excited because my family had worked with Elaine before when we were doing estate planning with our farm and I knew she had lots of good advice and that she would give our clients some food for thought and guidance. She likes to let everyone listen and have their say so others can hear what they have to say. She was a real benefit to us on our farm.

Shelly Friesen

Employee and Farmer
BDO Canada

A joy to work with, heard loud and clear. When the farmers laughed or asked a great question, I knew they were listening and really wanted to learn from her. Her tips were easy to understand. It was just about understanding that conflict happens, and to have the confidence in yourself to ask for what you want. In the glowing review from farmers after her presentation, I knew they had heard that loud and clear.

Maddy Berner

Event Planner & Communications Coordinator
National Milk Producers Federation

Elaine helped me allocate $1 Million of assets the night I listened to her. Elaine’s presentation brings value to the use of my services in my office.
