1-on-1 coaching for farm families
Farm families seek confidential 1-on-1 coaching to facilitate tough farm conversations around transition. Having a third party increases the chance of everyone finding clarity of expectations and understanding timelines, agreements, and next steps.
Conflict is a normal part of farm family business, especially when 2 or 3 generations are trying to figure out a plan that meets their needs. Navigating the challenges of transition planning requires expressing emotions, aligning values and vision, creating solutions together, and sharing perspectives in a respectful manner where all parties are heard and valued.
Elaine’s coaching team creates a safe and respectful space for powerful conversations to take place. They will support your facilitated family meetings, do conflict and personality assessments, if desired, and give you new language so you can achieve more harmony through understanding.
In fact, our coaching team has been told that their superpower is to quickly understand complex family dynamics and create pathways to clarity of expectations. Each coach will lead you through the process of evaluating the family map (The Genogram) and what that means for everyone’s needs and tension spots. Our coaches’ decades of combined experience will save you time and money as we explore your best-fit solutions.

Coaching Testimonial
“I attended the meeting you spoke at in Stratford Ontario recently. We held an emergency family/farm meeting today because of issues that I had enough of. We used a ‘talking stick’ like you recommended and wrote a chart of rules. The rest of the family thought the idea that we needed a meeting was worth rolling their eyes over, until we got started. The younger ones were quick to clue in that they now have an opportunity to be bluntly honest. The older ones took a bit longer to believe they could truly say what they think. In the end, the meeting needed two sessions because there was so much to talk about… and so many things people didn’t realize were a big deal to the others. Your lessons and encouragement have given us the tools we need to get to a better place in our relationships and our business. Truly thankful.”
Kim Martin, Dairy Farmer, Ontario
