Lavinia WehrLiving your vision board and creating independence from your side hustle!
ABOUT LAVINIA
Lavinia grew up on a farm in Scaddan, Western Australia. After graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Public Relations in 2017, she took on the Royal Agricultural Society’s social media for the Perth Royal Show. After realising how many people wanted an individualised social media strategy catering to agricultural businesses, AGSOCIAL began. AGSOCIAL works with many recognisable clients including Primary Sales Australia, Planfarm, RB Sellars and Rossi Boots. Lavinia is also the co-host of the popular podcast Generation Ag. Session summary
Living your vision board and creating independence from your side hustle! Regional women often don’t get the opportunity and support to create their own independence and see the bigger picture. Lavinia creates a space to show women how they can live their best lives through mindset, action, and building their confidence to live up to their potential. Living an abundant life is a huge undertaking. Being confident enough to take action, open up, own your seat at the table and feel brave enough to share your opinion can be difficult, especially as a regional woman. Developing an understanding and forward vision for life is one of the key factors for her success. Letting go and allowing for space for opportunities is one of the essential life lessons she teaches. Lavinia emphasises that there are opportunities everywhere, and we deserve to live where we can thrive and live the dream no matter where we are placed geographically. Often, we have an idea or a vision and don’t know where to start. It ends up becoming too complicated and overwhelming and we can give up before we even get started. Lavinia will share her strategies of breaking it down and looking at the individual's creativity and vision. We can curate a pathway forward that allows us to turn a side hustle into a reality, opening up opportunities for entrepreneurship and leadership. Lavinia believes mindset is a massive part of this, by identifying our feelings and doubts and having the knowledge to pull ourselves out of this is one of the key factors to her business’s success. Women are powerful and can develop the life they want, even with regional boundaries, especially with the power of social media and storytelling. What will I get out of this session?

Tony CattPass the Baton
About tony
Tony is an experienced financial adviser with extensive experience in providing succession planning advice to farm businesses. He currently serves as the CEO of Hub39 and is a director of Catapult Wealth, a wealth management and financial planning firm. After marrying into a large farming family from Renmark, SA Tony developed a passion for assisting families in transitioning their businesses to the next generation. Tony’s passion has found him providing succession and retirement planning advice to farming families from various sectors across Australia for over 25 years. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce, Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance, Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning and was a qualified accountant, making him uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive advice to clients. session summary
Pass the Baton Managing the transition of a business to the next generation is one of the most challenging aspects of a family farm business. In this workshop, Tony will cover a range of topics that arise when developing a plan for transitioning the farming operation from one generation to another. Tony will cover the two essential plans of succession planning: the dead plan and the living plan. The dead plan focuses on the risk management in the event of the death of a key person in the business. It typically includes several key components including wills, power of attorney, insurances and risk management. This plan outlines the steps to be taken and is the most important plan in succession planning. The living plan focuses on the transition of ownership of the business, to ensure there are no surprises. This is the plan that comes to mind when thinking about succession planning. The living plan typically includes four key sub-plans: management plan, retirement plan, ownership plan and cheque book plan. The retirement plan involves outlining the predecessor’s plans for retirement, including timing, future involvement in the farm, incomes plan and where this comes from, aged care, housing, liquidity for one-off expenses and Centrelink. The management plan involves identifying potential successors, recognising and creating an actionable plan to fulfil any skill gaps and outlining a plan for transferring management. The ownership plan involves outlining a plan for transferring the asset. This could be a five or ten - year plan or upon death. Just because an operating entity has transferred, does not mean the asset ownership has to change immediately. The cheque book plan involves the decision-making responsibility of financial decisions. Having well-documented and well-communicated dead and living plans are essential to the success of a succession plan. The plans then need to be regularly reviewed, well executed and maintained.

Sharon HonnerFinding your inner mentor
about sharon
Sharon is a mother of four, past farmer and champion of women. Sharon’s background spans a variety of industries including travel, education, banking, agriculture and the not-for-profit sector. She is a certified professional facilitator and coach and founder of Spectra Coaching. Sharon believes the success of relationships and business is the people. She has 20 years experience working with geographically spread families, businesses, and communities, drawing on a variety of online platforms, tools and techniques to engage and motivate. Sharon is a past WoTL Chair and volunteer project lead for the International Association of Facilitators Mentor Program. session summary
Finding your inner mentor Sharon has spent a lot of her adult life seeking the wisdom of formal and informal mentors, secretly hoping they will tell her what she wants to do and where she wants to be in life, as she admits she certainly didn’t know. We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we are striving to overcome, ideas that need a road map and times when we feel stuck. Despite uncertain direction at times, throughout her life she have connected with wonderful mentors who have provided valuable guidance and clarity. Sharon is grateful to have worked with organisations to develop bespoke mentoring programs, meeting amazing women and men selflessly supporting individuals to achieve their goals. Sharon's thinking was challenged after reading "Lean in" where Sheryl Sandberg suggested that searching for a mentor has become the professional equivalent of waiting for Prince Charming (i.e. when we read the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, it is instructing young women to wait for their Prince to arrive). As Sharon strived to comprehend what would happen if we let go of mentors and drew on our own inner voice, she had a realisation that no-one knows better than ourselves, what we want to do. This reflection raised the following questions:
This interactive workshop challenges society’s expectation to rely on others and will explore your inner mentor. Looking within will leverage your inner wisdom to answer your questions, drive your aspirations and support you to embark on your ‘Big Hairy Audacious Goals’. What will I get out of this session? Learn the difference between inner and external mentors, what is an inner mentor and how to draw on your inner mentor. |
Kate McBrideCry me a river, Darling
about kate
While watching the ecological collapse of the Darling - Barka River, Kate began fighting for better water management in the Murray-Darling. After becoming a vocal voice in what can be the divisive area of water, she expanded her work into advocating for other issues those in rural Australia face. Kate has had several media appearances including on Q&A and Australian Story talking about mental health, lack of services and climate change. Kate is also a board member, rural ambassador and researcher. She currently lives between Menindee, NSW and Canberra working as a Parliamentary Liaison with the Australia Institute. session summary
Cry me a river, Darling Kate shares her journey to date and how she got started in advocacy. Her focus is on the need to have courage and bravery but most importantly the need to surround yourself with strong support networks. Kate’s journey started with speaking up during tough times for her community around water management. This ultimately turned into a passion that led to speaking opportunities where she felt a real responsibility to use the platform to advocate for more issues as her career evolved. Over time, Kate has grown from representing the township of Menindee to gradually growing to all of rural Australia. Kate will share her engagement and relationships with Traditional Owners and how that has helped to shape her and her journey. She will also touch on her engagement with politicians and the ability to work with people from all walks of life. These days, Kate has found a balance doing what she enjoys as well as where she can be most effective. She currently works three weeks on and one week off so she can remain connected to her home and community. What will I get out of this session?

Howdy partner - Social and legal aspects of the arrival of a new partner in the farming family There has been a degree of social change in the last 20 years. While living together before marriage has been commonplace for 30 - 40 years, returning to the family farm prior to marriage, not marrying at all, or coming with some kids in tow is a more recent phenomenon. The role of "daughter-in-law" is much maligned but widely understood. The new partner (most often female, but sometimes male) is yet to be fully explored. Good, bad or ugly, most people would have been or witnessed the role of in-law in their lifetime however the newly arrived partner is unknown territory in lots of conservative rural families. It sparks lots of questions relevant to older and younger generations.

Understanding your communication style and how to effectively communicate with others The ability to communicate effectively is a core skill required in all settings. But have you ever considered your own ability to communicate and taken steps to improve the way you communicate? Everyone has a varied style of communicating. Whilst some styles are aligned, others can seem to be at odds and can lead to conflict and ruptures in relationships. This interactive workshop is designed to build the capacity of participants to improve their interpersonal communication. The workshop starts with exploring core concepts of effective communication before moving onto guided critical reflection. Critical reflection is a skill in itself that extends our self-awareness, rather than focusing on others without taking responsibility for oneself. Once participants have reflected on their own communication behaviours, guidance is provided by the facilitator to identify both small and significant changes can be made to improve the participants existing capacity to communicate effectively. A framework for understanding different communication styles will be presented. Participants will consider the strengths and opportunities of their favoured communication style. Strategies to effectively communicate across all four styles will also be presented. All participants will be issued with a workbook to take home for follow up action, which will include references for participants who want to explore the topics further.

About Matt Anderson Matt's passion for agriculture stems from growing up on his family's cattle property on the Liverpool Plains of North West NSW. At university, Matt completed a Bachelor of Laws and practiced as a commercial solicitor in Sydney with a focus on rural clients.

Matt was selected as a Future Young Leader for 2023 and presented at this year’s EvokeAg conference. session summary
Session Summary Tech-ready female farmers - Unlocking real benefits on-farm As the world’s population grows, there is increasing pressure on the agriculture sector to produce safe, high quality food in production systems that are climate smart, transparent and sustainable. In recent years there has been an explosion in the number and complexity of new technologies available and an expectation that farmers will jump in to adopt them. Despite the hype, the reality is that farmers often find the selection and integration of new technologies to be confusing and overwhelming. Similarly, tech developers don’t always understand what the real problems are or how to communicate with producers and advisors are struggling to keep up in this rapidly emerging field. Farmers2Founders believe there is a largely untapped potential amongst the amazing women in agriculture who can address this gap (including female farmers, aspiring female tech developers, and women in professional agribusiness service roles). This interactive workshop aims to inspire female farmers, their advisors and the broader community of women in agriculture to step into the void and to create the forward momentum required to equip the industry for the future. We will provide tools and information to help build the confidence and capabilities needed to source, select and adopt new technologies and innovations. Conference delegates will have the opportunity to apply the tools to their own specific challenges and opportunities and to share learnings with each other as they explore new ways to overcome some of the significant barriers to the deployment of new technology and innovations on-farm. While building new knowledge and skills takes time and practice, delegates will leave the session with resources that they can continue to use, access to a network of like-minded innovators, 2 x 60 minute complementary coaching sessions with Farmers2Founders experts, and a 12-month free subscription to the F2F TEKFARM™ digital knowledge platform. What will I get out of this session?

The Elvis approach to effective meetings: A little less conversation, a little more action please! There are good meetings and there are bad meetings.

Jeanette will introduce participants to the 7Ps framework for effective and successful meetings. 1. Purpose - why are you having this meeting? 2. Product - what specific ‘artifact’ will we produce out of this meeting? 3. People - who needs to be there, and what role will they play? 4. Process - what agenda will these people use to create the product? 5. Pitfalls - what are the risks in this meeting and how will we address them? 6. Preparation - what would be useful to do in advance? 7. Practical concerns - these are the logistics of the meeting ie. the where and the when. Drawing from participants’ own experiences and understanding, Jeanette will provide opportunities to explore the framework’s implementation. The session will culminate with participants working in small groups to develop a mock meeting agenda and identify strategies to ensure the meeting is effective. What will I get out of this session?

about gabby and samantha
About Gabby Born into a wool growing family based in Central West NSW, Gabby Neal has been surrounded by Merino wool her entire life. With an innate understanding of processes involved from farm to fashion, Gab saw a gap in the market to promote this forgotten fibre of the fast fashion generation.

Inspiring a new way of wearing wool: A farm to fibre story Establishing a new business in the midst of COVID is no mean feat, but the restrictive conditions provided the perfect opportunity to build the business foundations ahead of the launch of Australian fashion label, INTACT in 2022. The farm to fibre story continues to evolve in the Australian and global context, and INTACT blends a family farming and fashion experience into a regional startup that couldn’t be more relevant in the age of fast fashion. INTACT aims to inspire a new way of wearing wool and challenge the outdated perception of wool as a dense, winter only choice, by showcasing the premium fibres inherent innovative properties through a capsule collection of favourite wardrobe essentials. Now more than ever it is important consumers slow down and consider the impact of their clothing choices. INTACT is a label that walks the walk, by cementing circular principles from the outset, focus on a product ‘end-of-life’ program and commitment to a better fashion future. Educating consumers about the benefits of wool as a fashion staple is key to the business success and INTACT’s fresh approach to storytelling and product promotion is gaining traction. Through an interactive Q&A panel session, Gab, together with business partner and sister Sam, will share the INTACT startup journey and lessons learned from 12 months in business. The timely discussion offers a behind the scenes look at strategies used to enter the crowded women’s fashion market, grow a community and insights into how one regional small business is shaking up the farm to fibre story. The session aims to not only inspire others to start their small business journey but show how creativity and farming interests can blend to promote the benefits of an iconic Australian industry to new audiences.

We need to talk about the weather - Tips to move your business towards becoming climate neutral On a year's sabbatical from her normal day job, Emma set out to go climate neutral on her family farm and won a scholarship through the Climate Smart Farming Program. Emma took every chance to understand the challenges of carbon accounting and opportunities that could benefit their farm and business. The benefits of carbon are two-fold, with the first outcome being increased production from a healthier system, the secondary factor is the possibility of being paid for ACCUs or biodiversity credits. Emma also participated in the Farming for the Future pilot program that aims to create a methodology to measure the natural capital in farming businesses across Australia. This involved weeks of documenting the current status quo and finding historical data going back five years. The process of collecting data for Farming for the Future developed a deeper understanding of the current business management processes, practices and record keeping, which was followed with an investigation into tools (software) that could assist streamline this. Emma aims to obtain a premium for their products, this requires sound record management to be audited, think green loans, wool accreditation and canola into European markets. Having a record keeping system that’s efficient and low maintenance, across accounts paddock records and policies for animal welfare, environment and social are all important. The third and most important element of moving towards being climate neutral is the human aspect. Living and working with family members is the hardest form of business in the world. How do you enable change in a family business and how do you sustain that change for the long term? Conversations to understand reasoning behind current practices, such as turning on trucks to warm up and leaving utes running while opening gates, made Emma realise there are some major myths to be busted!
