An expansion of a personal development programme for women in agriculture has been launched this month, with participation commencing in October 2021.
A new delivery team has been appointed to deliver the Scottish Government-funded ‘Be Your Best Self’ programme, whose membership includes experts in personal development facilitation, mental fitness coaching and agricultural expertise, to offer a creative and impactful experience for participants.
The delivery team consists of Morna Ronnie and Helen Hubbard of The People Portfolio, Louise Scott and Kirsty Ritchie of Mind & Mission Limited, Nikki Tierney of Leeway and Anna Davies of Scene & Herd PR and Marketing.
The programme is an integral part of the Scottish Government’s vision to make Scottish agriculture a fairer, more inclusive industry, where farm succession is not determined by gender, training is accessible to everyone, and more women take on senior roles in agricultural organisations.
Be Your Best Self aims to support women living or working in agriculture in Scotland to build their confidence, enhance their skills, and develop their leadership abilities.
Morna Ronnie, speaking of the programme, said:
“We are excited to be able to support women, and the sector as a whole, in this way.
“By ensuring equality of opportunity and the merger of talents, the delivery team will help to make Scottish agriculture a more resilient and economically sustainable industry.
“We are really looking forward to helping to facilitate change and give more rural women the skills and confidence to take their lives forward in the direction of their choosing.”
