I’m Elaine Froese, a lifelong farmer. Every day, I use my background in conflict resolution and communication to help fellow growers and ranchers face make-or-break issues head on -- so they can focus on the business of farming.

Starting with 4-H presentations in Manitoba at age nine and moving on to audiences today in Mexico, Australia and beyond, I have always understood that communication is the key to building trust and understanding, especially when your family members are your business partners.

I have personally experienced the stresses and frustrations that only families in today’s agriculture climate understand.

I have seen it all, heard it all, and survived it all -- from buying the in-laws’ farm, the isolation of farm life, a sudden illness or death in the family, and every crisis you can imagine. I’ve given  families worldwide the practical tools they need to save their marriages, hold onto their farms and gain some much-needed peace of mind.

More than 600 families have received my personal coaching advice, along with thousands more who have attended my keynote presentations on emotionally complicated topics -- and walked away with life-changing results.

If you want relief from uncomfortable discussions about roles and responsibilities, arguments over ownership and succession agreements, and procrastination on planning for the future, there are several ways to put my expertise to work for you.
