The Humboldt Office of the Ministry of Agriculture is teaming up with the Nokomis Agricultural Society for a daylong event entitled Focus on Farming: Empowering Women for Change. The information session is being held on Friday, February 14 at the Humboldt Legion Hall from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm.
The day will see two well-known presenters share knowledge and insight into having a positive mindset and employing strong communication skills for success.
Darci Lang will share how focusing on the positive can change your mindset for growth and make handling stressful situations easier. Attendees will learn ways to build positivity in their working relationships on the farm, tips for interacting with negative people, and how to be an uplifting influence for those around you.
The afternoon will see participants hone their skills as Anna De Paoli with De Paoli & Associates Inc. She will lead the group through a workshop focusing on practical negotiation skills that teach women to be their own advocates.
Ashley Kaminski, crops extension specialist with the Ministry, has additional information on registration.
“If you can register by Wednesday, February 5, then we could get our numbers submitted. You can register by phoning the Ministry of Agriculture office in Humboldt at (306) 682-6701.”
The registration cost of $25 per participant is due in part to the generosity of local sponsors: Affinity Credit Union, Humboldt Co-op, Horizon Fertilizers, HSA Chartered Professional Accountants, and FCC.
The day promises to be an informative and empowering networking opportunity. Don’t delay in registering; limited seats are available.
