We know how important it is to be inspired by both big businesses and individuals, which is why we are excited to present Talking Leaders, a monthly initiative from the AHDB which will see a series of inspirational speakers share their life experiences and deliver impactful stories to the AgriLeader community.
Join us on AHDB’s March episode of Talking Leaders as Amy Hughes shares the real story behind launching Empower Ag and the powerful lessons she’s learned in the first six months of her journey. From embracing change to building a growth mindset and tackling the tough conversations that drive real progress, Amy’s insights will inspire you to wrestle with challenge, lean into growth, and make better choices for your farm, your team and your future.
Raised on a beef and sheep farm in North Yorkshire, Amy has spent 18 years working in agricultural extension and education, driven by a passion to help British farmers thrive. Following her own experience of postnatal depression, she developed a deep interest in mindset, behaviour change and human psychology , challenging tradition and championing the power of honest, courageous conversations in farming businesses. An international speaker, writer, and co-host of the Think Outside The Fence podcast, Amy combines lived experience with academic expertise.
