And so, I continue my series of interviews with remarkable rural Australian women.

Ladies & gentlemen, meet Lyn Sykes.

Spending some time in nursing and counselling in her early career, Lyn found herself invited to help a group of farmers better manage family communication… and the rest, as they say, is history!

Thirty years plus and a highly successful career later, Lyn has become an icon in our industry on all things family alignment, communication and succession.

Having studied with Lyn over 20 years ago as a ‘whipper-snapper’ farm consultant, it is with great pleasure that I re-connect with her to discuss a host of critical family farming topics, including:

• where and why farm succession goes wrong;

As you will glean, I have a lot of respect for Lyn. I see her as a true pioneer of this space and someone who has had a significant and understated contribution to our industry.

I hope that this podcast does her career justice whilst helping you check in and make improvements to how you are navigating this important conversation.

Thank you, Lyn - enjoy all, and keep winning!
