Canada’s National Farm Leadership Program now accepting applications

OTTAWA – In the complex business of farming where efficiency and effectiveness are key to success, interpersonal skills, relationships and work habits matter. 

“Canada already has some of the best farm managers and increasing their leadership effectiveness is the next step in supporting a resilient and prosperous agricultural sector and community,” said Farm Management Canada executive director Heather Watson. “We are proud to be working with Leadershift Inc. to welcome our 2023 program cohort.”

The National Farm Leadership Program teaches how to perform at your best when it matters most.

“The Program fits into busy farm life to help you identify the critical development areas that will have the greatest impact on your personal and professional lives. Not only is leadership good for business,” said Leadershift founder Kelly Dobson.

The next cohort of the National Farm Leadership Program begins its journey on Jan. 23 and spans several weeks through virtual learning and a multi-day, in-person residency in British Columbia.

The program is led by certified executive coach and fourth generation farmer, Kelly Dobson, who combines adult learning research, with neuroscience and IT, enabling leader development at any age.
