“The personal branding and social media presentations I found fascinating as well (and I didn’t think it would!). Since the GenAngus Program I have made an effort to promote myself more on social media and to use social media as a professional tool for my business. Social media is engrained in our 21st century lives, we must use it to our advantage.” “We also had fantastic sessions on financial literacy and succession planning. Both of these sessions gave me a lot to think about and consider and I took a lot of new information away.” Why should others attend GenAngus? When thinking back to his time in the program, Jamie highlighted the range of areas covered by leading experts as a major selling point. “The GenAngus Future Leaders Program was nothing short of exemplary. It exceeded what I expected to gain from the program, and I learnt a lot of practical measures which I can and have implemented with my Angus herd,” said Jamie. “The program itself is very robust with a great range of presenters on many different topics. Some topics I didn’t even know I needed to know but I left with a lot of practical and helpful information. It is a great credit to the organisers of the program who organised a very multifaceted but engaging program.” And when asked of the mark it left on his life professionally and personally, Jamie believes he has definitely found benefits to both after his time in the program. “The GenAngus Future Leaders Program has been hugely beneficial to me professionally. I am more confident with managing my growing Angus herd and I have been given the tools and skills to make better decisions pertaining to my herd,” he said. “This will help me to grow my Angus numbers sustainably and not to waste years by poor genetic selection decisions. On a personal level, this program helped to grow me by helping me to understand myself as a leader and what my leadership style is as well as understanding and promoting my personal branding.” Going forth, representing the industry is something Jamie continues to do, and he has placed himself as an advocate across a number of groups in order to do so. “I think it is important to give back to the agricultural community. Currently I am a recently new board member for Food and Fibre Great South Coast which is a passionate organisation celebrating and advocating all things agriculture within the Great South Coast region of Victoria,” he said. “I am also a council member of the National Farmers Federation Young Farmers Council which is a proactive space to promote the problems faced in agriculture for young farmers and prosecute policy changes for the benefit of young farmers.” I love quiet cows and handle them as stress-free as I can “ “
