Managing Stubborn Farmers and Their Unsolvable Problems

Identifying Polarities
Stubborn farmers are stuck in “either /or” types of thinking. They are not willing to talk about planning for the future or about current issues. They are stubborn because they don’t understand that they have options and they lack trust with the rest of the farm team.
Elaine Froese is a farmer, mediator, and certified coach who has studied polarities. The audio from this webinar is highly practical in raising your understanding of problems that seem unsolvable and ways to map them out to see the upside and downside of each pole... or opposite sides of the issue. Elaine outlines the basics of polarities using the metaphor of breathing... inhale, exhale. She encourages farmers to think about the “AND” in working towards a manageable solution.
You'll find the audio from this webinar useful if you work with a stubborn farmer and want to unravel new ways to think about getting action for your plans.
