Peaceful Communication on the Farm: Listening Tools to Improve Understanding

In the profession of farming, we often focus on improving our skills to cultivate crops or tend animals. But what about our skills cultivating and tending to farm relationships? Whether it be interactions with customers, partners, interns, employees, family or friends, communication is the way we keep all of the farm operations running. Yet, communication isn’t always easy. Misunderstandings, tensions, even conflicts can arise and be hard to face in the moment. In this interactive virtual workshop, we’ll learn simple techniques to cultivate listening skills for both professional and personal growth. Listening is one of the core ways we build trust and show respect in our relationships. Join us to practice elements of listening with exercises for the head, heart and gut.
