NFSHW25: Communication Coaching to Support Farm Harmony Across Generations

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.

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).
