Discuss the Undiscussabull™ Huntingdon

In many farm kitchens there’s a bull in the middle of the room – what Elaine Froese, a farm family coach, has termed as the 'Undiscussabull' – the thing no one is willing to talk about.

Most farming businesses know they need to talk about tough issues; they just don’t know how or where to get started.

If you’re stuck and want to bring the people in your business – be it family members or other staff – to the table to start the conversation, come along to Elaine’s world-renowned workshop, Discuss the Undiscussabull™.

In the workshops you’ll learn:

• How age impacts frustrations and communication styles
• How to identify why people don’t want to talk about certain things
• What your conflict style is – what do you do in a conflict situation that might set others off and what sets you off and why?
• Key communication styles – what’s yours and what style do the people you’re talking to have? How do we use this information to communicate with most impact?
• Key challenges for communicating effectively in your business and how to overcome these

Cost

• £65+VAT for levy payers
• £130+VAT for industry professionals

Included in the price of your ticket is a personalised Conflict Dynamics Profile.

The profile will show how good you are at positive communication behaviours and which unhelpful habits you need to work on, helping you reduce conflict in your business and resolve things faster when conflict happens. The results come directly to you and will not be shared with anyone else.

You will also receive a free e-copy of Elaine’s best-selling book Building your farm legacy.
