Supporting your farm succession journey
Listening to all the voices, bringing people together and prioritising relationships for a better outcome.
Why choose MediatingWorks to assist with navigating the farm succession process?
“As a Registered Psychologist I understand the importance of preserving relationships. I have skills as a psychologist that assist people in staying on track as they have their various meetings and discussions about farm succession options. I use a research based negotiation model, out of Harvard University, focusing on seven principles. One of those principles is standards, and I ask people to focus on the core values of their family that can guide them in decision making. All professions involved in farm succession planning are important. My process is unique as I bring skills from decades of psychology practice. It’s succession in the farm, while also preserving the relationships.”

Facilitated planning meetings
I support families right from the beginning, where we explore the vision for the next succession. This includes the asset holder handing on knowledge through apprenticeship and the next generation stepping up.
The starting point is facilitated discussion, so that all the voices are heard.
-
Mediation
I provide Mediation services when there is a blockage, or breakdown in communication that needs to be resolved before the farm succession journey can begin, or continue.
The process includes a pre-mediation for each person involved, an outcome report, a facilitated mediation, and a post mediation session several months later.
