What to expect from this training course
Amy has developed the course using learnings from 15 years of knowledge exchange, training, and behavioural science experience.
This isn’t just about farming; it’s about understanding your behaviour and decision-making patterns to create lasting, positive change on your farm.
Watch this 5-minute clip with Amy below for a further explanation of what the course can do for you.
G.R.I.P. will guide you through:
Understanding Current Behaviour
How are you operating at the moment? What’s influencing your decisions, and what’s blocking you from moving forward? If we can master our own behaviour and thought processes, we can start to move towards what we want to achieve.
Setting Clear Direction
What are your goals and objectives for your farm? Is everyone else on the same page? Are you being driven by things within your control or spending your time and energy worrying about the things you can’t control?
Understanding and bringing others with you
We all come up against resistance to change in those we work closely with, but what’s causing that, and how do we deal with it to achieve a positive outcome for everyone?
Action Planning
What are your next steps, and how do you get there? Who do you need to involve, and what’s the best way to approach it? Who do you need support from, and how are you going to know when you’ve got to where you want to be?
