Stepping Back to Leap Forward: Lessons from the ARLF TRAIL Program
Description
"Seriously, just do it! You certainly won't regret it.”
In the latest episode of the AgriFutures Capacity Building miniseries, we hear from two agricultural leaders who participated in the transformative Australian Rural Leadership Foundation's TRAIL Emerging Leaders Program - Verity Price, Deputy CEO of the Australian Chicken Meat Federation, and Jacob Birch, Managing Director of Yaamarra & Yarral in the native grains industry.
From the powerful Welcome to Country ceremony that set the tone, to the immersive experiences in nature the program pushed them to step back and reflect on their purpose, behaviours, and relationships in new ways.
Despite working in vastly different agricultural sectors, both Verity and Jacob highlight how taking part in the program allowed them the time for deep reflection, how they have applied their learnings back home, and how they continue to be shaped by the lasting impact of the program that go beyond just teaching technical skills.
