Webinar: Communication Coaching to Support Farm Harmony Across Generations
Last updated on September 24th, 2025 at 02:48 pm
Summary: Communication coaching is a specific program with a method that works with the members of farm teams and farm families to make decision making, goal setting, and conversations in general, better. This presentation will address generational differences, share communication teaching ideas, and discuss a specific 4-session coaching program that participants may be interested in adapting.
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will:
Be able to consider generational differences and perspectives, and how communication skills can support people to have better conversations.
Learn about a specific coaching program designed to identify specific problems and opportunities.
Learn about activities and strategies used by coaches.
Understand the benefit of sharing specific communication skills in the interest of promoting harmony across the members of a farm team.
Intended audience:
- Service providers who work with farmers on succession, provide technical assistance, and recognize that oftentimes nothing can happen without first addressing human needs.
- Farmers interested in a big-picture look at farm coaching (this is not a communication workshop).
