Info: Flight zones, pressure and release, and facility design don't just apply to livestock. They may be the missing framework for better team cohesion, communication, and leadership.

Low Stress People Handling takes familiar principles from livestock handling and applies them to the people side of agriculture. Learn how pressure affects performance, why the environment we create shapes behaviour, and how good leaders can move a team forward without creating unnecessary stress or resistance.

This session shares practical insights for improving workplace culture, increasing staff retention, strengthening training programs, and creating clearer expectations and communication.

Because whether you're working cattle or leading people, the goal is the same: reduce unnecessary pressure, build trust, and get everyone moving in the same direction.
