Pressure has always been part of agriculture, but does it have to control how we think, lead, and live?
In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy Brunet sits down with leadership coach and speaker Arlen Motz for a powerful conversation about navigating pressure with purpose instead of reacting out of fear.
From unpredictable markets and succession planning to labour shortages, financial stress, and family expectations, today's agricultural leaders are carrying more than ever before. Arlen explains why pressure itself isn't the problem, it's our relationship with pressure that determines how we lead, communicate, and make decisions.
Together, Tracy and Arlen explore practical strategies for building resilience, reconnecting with purpose, becoming more intentional in our responses, and learning to trust ourselves through uncertainty.
