The most important skill never taught... How to Build People Systems (Webinar Replay)

Published: Fri, 11/11/16

Hey Folks.
Happy Friday. Thanks you to everyone
who showed us yesterday to Part 3 of our
Terraforming Series.

Part 3 might have actually been the MOST IMPORTANT
presentation we have ever put on.  I can't stress this enough.
 Even if we can terraform deserts back to life,
or restore soil productivity on a large scale,
it means nothing if we can't get people
on our side to make it happen.

The most challenging aspect of Regenerative Agriculture,
and restoring Ecosystems is not the Ecology, but the right
People Systems.

 In this day and age of polarized views, being
able to connect to different cultures, and speak to their
values and beliefs is a vital skill needed
for regenerative projects.

     Neal went into cultural archetypes, values and narratives that appeal to different cultures, and how he used these to create trust and buy in with the team he worked with.
 
    If you tune into the replay, you'll be able to find out what it took to actually lead a wildly ambitious restoring project, and gain the cultural support behind it.

    This is knowledge that is unbelievably crucial in this day and age.  Many of us work with people with different cultural, or political beliefs, which is why building cultural trust is vital for anyone in this line of work.  From the small farmer wanting more hands, to a non profit manager operating in a different country, learning how to build trust is a key skill to learn.

    As always, replay is free till Sunday night, and then you'll be able to download it for a small price after.
 
 
Have a Great Weekend,
