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.
