Kelly Sidoryk ranches with her family near Lloydminster, Sask./Alta. Over 25 years ago they were introduced to Holistic Resource Management (as it was known at the time), a decision making/planning process that focusses on finances, land and people. The process had a significant impact on their operation as it transitioned to be a forage based, livestock enterprise.
She completed the degree program through HRM with a focus on the people side. In addition to running their family business, she has worked with many farm families as they work on transitioning to the next generation. She also teaches Holistic Management Whole/Farm Ranch Planning courses –including goal setting, financial planning, land planning, grazing planning, strategic planning and succession planning. She is a certified educator with Holistic Management International (HMI). She is also on the HMI board, based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In addition, Kelly works with a colleague and organizes local events including the Inspiring Women Conference, Cowgirl Yoga and Harvest Feastival – a local food event. She enjoys riding, traveling, writing and photography and being a grandma to Bennett and Hazel. Check out her website for more information, kellysidoryk.com
Some of the most important work you can do after a lifetime of building an operation is developing a plan to pass it onto the next generation. This presentation will cover the important points and considerations for putting together a farm transition plan with a focus on the “human” side of things. Family business theory, effective communication, handling conflict, the notion of fair vs equal, and creating a shared vision are some of the topics to be covered.
