Have you ever felt hurt that others have not respected you as a woman farmer? Does that make you angry so that you respond in a way you don’t feel good about afterward? In this workshop, Dr. Jay Carter will show us how to “stop being hurt by them without becoming one of them.” Dr. Carter was raised on a farm with very strong females. He is a licensed psychologist and has written a series of books about this topic. Nasty People, Nasty Men, Nasty Women and Nasty Bosses. He has led numerous workshops, been featured on television and authored books and films. Dr. Jay will address some of the common issues women farmers encounter in trying to be respected as a farmer in this day and age. Join us at the Rodale Institute for an informative morning to help you make this season be one of your best. Invest time in your personal growth so your farm’s growth will benefit.
