What I do
I work with agricultural families and businesses where succession is clearly an issue, but decisions keep getting delayed, avoided, or quietly pushed down the road.
Often everyone knows change is coming, but there’s no shared understanding of who decides what, when authority shifts, or what happens if nothing changes. That’s where succession gets stuck and where problems tend to surface later as conflict, legal cost, or lost value.
My role is to create clarity before that happens.
How it works
All engagements begin with a short diagnostic.
This is a structured but practical session designed to surface the real pressure points around ownership, leadership, roles, expectations, and risk. It gives families a clear picture of where they are, what’s actually causing friction, and what choices sit in front of them.
From there, families can decide whether to move into facilitated decision-making and follow-up support, or stop with clarity and no obligation to continue.
Who this is for
This work is for farming families and agricultural businesses who know succession needs addressing, but haven’t been able to move it forward despite good intentions and professional advice.
It’s particularly relevant where:
Authority and responsibility are blurred
Next-generation involvement is assumed but not agreed
Decisions keep being postponed “until later”
Advisers are circling, but progress isn’t happening
No plan at all
This is not about forcing outcomes or rushing people. It’s about making deliberate decisions rather than drifting into them.
About
I come to this work from lived experience of farming, business ownership, and succession pressure — not from theory alone.
I work best in situations where conversations are difficult, stakes are high, and clarity matters. My role is not to tell families what they should do, but to help them see their position clearly enough to decide what they will do.
Next step
If this sounds relevant, the right next step is an exploratory conversation.
