No consultant should believe that they can answer every question a client asks, nor know all the best solutions in their own field of expertise. Agricultural businesses are complex, and so are the needs of our clients.
Clients with years of experience working with advisors can usually tell if an advisor is outside of their main field of expertise. Worse yet, no consultant wants to be revealed as providing advice that is incomplete, errant, or even harmful to their client’s business. Many of our clients will increase their trust in our services—and in us at a personal level—if we introduce them to others with unique skills and expertise.

Before becoming a management and executive coach I spent 16 years managing agricultural operations. During those 16 years I hired a variety of consultants that included building engineers, ventilation specialists, crop consultants, veterinarians, marketing and financial advisers. Though I often had differences of opinion with them, I learned valuable information from each one and they were worth every penny that I invested in their advice.
