Shownotes

Welcome to part two of my incredible conversation with farm family transition guru, Elaine Froese! If you missed part one, be sure to scroll back and listen to it along with today’s episode. I have no doubt these two episodes will leave you feeling empowered and encouraged to compassionately bring up hard conversations with your loved ones and ultimately, live a life that aligns with your values. 

Elaine Froese (pronounced phrase) is a professional speaker, writer, and coach who specializes in helping farm families work through issues surrounding succession, business or that family favorite – communication. Elaine is known as "Canada’s Farm Whisperer,” and many folks tell Elaine that they "wish they had met her ten years ago". 

In this episode, we cover: 

  • How to navigate different values and priorities between generations
  • How vital it is to manage expectations between family members
  • The concept of “fairness” and why Elaine has wiped the word “equal” totally out of her vocabulary 
  • The importance of having financial transparency and open conversations about money
  • Some of the biggest pain points and opportunities Elaine sees as farms transition to the next generation 
  • The driving force to keep agriculture healthy
