How do you mentor the next generation? | HOW*TO Guide
#AGLEGACY.org #FarmSuccession #EstatePlanning
Mentoring is a relationship in which a more experienced or knowledgeable person guides a less experienced or less knowledgeable person through an activity or event in their life. This approach is similar to coaching but in coaching the goals and the plan of action are often set by the coach. In a mentoring relationship, the mentee sets the goals and formulates the plan under the guidance of the mentor.

Disrespect in Your Ag legacy?
#AGLEGACY.org #FarmSuccession #EstatePlanning
Disrespect is a lack of respect or courtesy. In relationships it can be more complex than that. Where some forms of disrespect are more subtle, that does not mean they are less destructive.
Controlling how we react towards someone who is being disrespectful can help us stay in control while helping to break the cycle. We can choose to help diffuse a situation or make it worse.
Kindness always prevails over negativity, just as darkness cannot thrive where light is present. We all need this reminder sometimes and expressing it out loud can be very powerful.
You may find that you are the one being disrespectful after thinking things through. How do you handle that?
Times of change and uncertainty can increase feelings of frustration, helplessness, insecurity, and vulnerability, and can trigger disrespectful behavior. These emotions can surface quickly when families are discussing succession of the family farm or ranch.

Coping with Excessive Stress?
STRESS is our bodies’ natural reaction to a demand or “stressor.” Much short-term stress can be positive: it motivates us to succeed with a challenge. But long term stress can be harmful to your health. A rural lifestyle may bring with it stressors of isolation, financial worries, and factors that are out of the control of the farmer/rancher such as weather, market prices, etc. Combined, these stressors place people at a greater risk for chronic stress, making it hard for them to move forward to positive solutions.
If an individual or family member is unwilling to take the initiative, or if there might be some danger if quick action is not taken, you may want to take the lead. Ask for permission to contact an agency or community resource; then get in touch, share your concern and discuss how the office will respond to this referral.

Does Disrespect Have A Place in Your Ag legacy?
DISRESPECTFUL and rude comments are difficult to deal with when at work or in a social situation. But can be even more difficult and personal when it is a family member sending you the negativity. As family, we know each other best, not only how we like our coffee or our favorite ice cream flavor, but also our weaknesses, fears, and vulnerabilities. It’s often family members that can love the strongest, but also hurt the worst. This familial bond can make it more personal and the option of walking away may not be possible . . .

AG LEGACY

Helping agriculture nurture its legacy . . .
A legacy is the summation of a lifetime of achievement and the context in which that lifetime will be remembered. A legacy is not just money but a reputation, what was accomplished, and the difference a person makes in the world as they pass through.
