Feedback from Denver SHIFT attendees

"SHIFT helped to develop and refine skills I already possessed but was not effectively employing to influence my peers, and fellow producers. The motivators to begin transformative change is not a one-size-fits-all, SHIFT gave me the tools to accurately assess an individual’s “why” as opposed to a generalized overview of the “how.” " 

"I have been working with a group of ranchers in the San Luis Valley who have been in drought and are faced with aquifer depletions. In preparing their drought plans, we went through the polyvagal exercise which helped them reflect on stress triggers with spouses and managers. Very effective in this context."

"Refocusing on the "culture" of agriculture has reintroduced empathy into conversations previously centered around science, facts, and blame."

SHIFT "has provided me with another way of looking at things. What is my motivation? How do I handle stress. It helps me to better understand people's motivation."

"I really loved this workshop and would do it all over again!"
