The Business of Farming course is the start of a unique program that uses a combination of training, coaching and peer mentoring to make lasting positive changes to farming businesses. PrincipleFocus has invested more than 10 years into research, development and delivery of management training to farmers across Australia.
At PrincipleFocus we believe the most effective way to foster sustainable business and land management practices is by changing attitudes of managers. Changed attitudes lead to changes in behaviour, and changes in behaviour are necessary to move from contemporary methods to more profitable and sustainable farming practices.
The course is nothing like school - no tests, no pressure, no embarrassment, just a fun and relaxed learning environment specifically designed for farmers, their partners and families.
Learning does not flow one way, our graduates emphasise the enormous benefit they gain through learning and sharing ideas with other participants. Our course leaders are specifically trained to extract and share the collective knowledge of each group that attends the course. As a result each new group adds to the collective knowledge contained within the course. The Business of Farming course has thus become a massive database of knowledge in respect to highly profitable and regenerative agribusiness.
PrincipleFocus has developed a unique adult education model to maximise memory and retention and address the various preferred learning styles represented in adult audiences. Our approach is built upon the research of respected learning specialists like William Howell (1982) Colin Rose (1985) Peter Senge (1992) Tony Buzan (1991) and Edward De Bono (1979).
We have combined aspects of accelerated learning, learning styles theory, lateral thinking, memory training and N.L.P into arguably the most effective learning program in Australian agriculture.
