In this week's episode, Tracy speaks with Kelly Dobson, from LeaderShift Inc., about "Why Coaching for Farmers?" Are you looking to maximize your farm's performance? If so, look no further than you….the farm operator. That's right.

In this episode, Tracy and Kelly speak about:

1. Why leadership for farmers?
2. Kelly shares more about the "National Farm Leadership Program" and its goals.
3. Tracy asks the million-dollar question, "Why coaching for farmers?" Kelly shares his thoughts, experiences, and the science behind professional leader development and coaching for farmers.
4. Kelly and Tracy have a casual conversation about getting unstuck, greater personal happiness, knowing how to shift your behaviour to impact your life and your relationship with others, and so much more.
5. The 2024 "National Farm Leadership Program" is about to launch. Kelly shares more information on this year's program and encourages anyone interested to reach out before the fast-approaching application deadline ends on January 18, 2024.
