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.
planning for change - the cycle of renewal - farmers don't retire... they re-invent!
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
You love farming and you never plan to really quit. Your spouse has other ideas. You are both in different stages of the cycle of renewal but don’t know it. Your adult children want you to move to town. What are you going to do? Nothing? That doesn’t feel very good! How about planning for change, letting go, and taking on new plans? Discover how in this revealing presentation.
Elaine is a certified Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara Coach and is highly trained to help people see where they are on the cycle of renewal map in order to plan for change. The key issue is discovering that your perspective and stage of the cycle can be completely opposite to your spouse and business partners. This makes planning for change a challenge unless you identify what to let go of, “drop the bananas,” and what to take on. Elaine is the farm family coach your clients need to connect with!
who wants the farm... and when? farm succession planning tools for action
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Farming dads need to transfer control and ownership (eventually) to younger farmers. If there is no successor, then what? If there is a keen successor… congratulations! What do young farmers want? They want certainty of ownership and a plan with deadlines. They want the farm intact. What do older founding farmers want? To be useful and appreciated. Fairness. They want an income stream for their lifestyle needs.
Elaine Froese delivers actionable information farm business owners and managers can implement today. People seek out advisors after she hits home with her message. 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. She’s survived two succession plans and can talk about it. Elaine’s a farmer and speaks to the heart of farm family issues. Her stories make people feel like she’s literally been at their kitchen table for years!
the gift of encouragement - encouraging the heart of your family business
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Lack of appreciation is one of the top key reasons farm succession planning fails or is blocked. Families need a strong emotional bank account and huge relational capital, not just net worth. Each generation needs to feel their work counts. In this presentation, you’ll discover how to use encouragement as a leadership tool.
Dr. Nikki Gerrard, farm stress specialist discovered that “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” Her resilience research was the foundation of Elaine’s award-winning book Planting the Seed of Hope. Families need to communicate, celebrate and connect with the community. Elaine farms, has employees, and manages role overload, just like her clients. She has been a popular retreat speaker for many years as she is gifted as an encourager. Her common-sense approach and toolbox will help your farm clients see encouragement as a leadership tool.
