Our Reinventing Agriculture coaching approach

We focus on empowering you to be the expert in your business.  We work alongside you to develop a strategy suitable for your individual context and goals.  As a result you will be empowered to make informed decisions in line with your vision for your landscape and business.  

Your success is our business.  We do not sell inputs or receive commissions on product sales.  We can educate you to make informed, unbiased choices around inputs when necessary, acting as a non-judgemental sounding board where there are no stupid questions.  We frequently save our clients more than they spend on our services through cost savings gained from eliminating unnecessary inputs.  We add value to your business through working with you to design strategies that do less harm and transition off inputs gradually, maintaining profitable production.  

We do not impose a one size fits all approach.  We work with you to design your unique strategy for your unique context, providing you with a clear direction and actionable steps. Through investigative conversations and processes, we empower you to deepen your observational skills and understanding of natural, human and financial resources and their contribution to the long-term viability of your enterprise.   You will be empowered to find points of leverage that will give you the greatest return on investment in quality, production and performance.

Diverse life experiences underpin our approach.  We bring with us over 30 years each of lived experience in agriculture in a range of enterprises and roles.  We have been restoring our land using practices now known as “regenerative” since 2004.  We have been using and developing coaching skills in our careers for over 20 years.  Kim worked as a Rural Financial Counsellor for 12 years and completed training in mediation, facilitating farm family business meetings, negotiation, counselling and communication which were all skills that were put to use in this role.  Angus has worked in management and also has completed a Diploma of Counselling Studies.  Angus has been providing counselling services for over 10 years, recently adding powerful skills in The Richards Trauma Process to his coaching tool kit.   

We walk our talk.  We see challenges as opportunities for personal growth.  We recognise the need to constantly work on our own blind spots as we can only take our clients where we can go ourselves.  We love to question everything and to take new perspectives.  We embrace life-long learning and are avid readers who are passionate about implementation, not just collecting qualifications and consuming information.  When we are struggling or looking for access to new insights we engage outside help, choosing to work with coaches, kinesiologists, counsellors or healers who will empower us to access our own breakthroughs, not impose their solutions on us.

We are holistic.  We have always had an innate ability to see the whole, as generalists and systems thinkers we are skilled at seeing connections and relationships in complex systems.  This means we readily distinguish between skills that can be learned and skills that must be realised from the inside first as you journey from where you are now to where you want to be.
