What's it all About

Experience a holistic 360 degree program designed to inspire and empower agricultural professionals. Welcome to ExecutiveLink®.

This membership builds upon the foundational RCS programs such as Grazing for Profit®, enhancing the lessons learned.

As part of ExecutiveLink®, members are grouped into a Board of Directors composed of fellow motivated producers. These boards convene three times annually in facilitated meetings. During these sessions, members harness the collective skills and knowledge of their board colleagues to aid in their decision-making processes. These meetings are skillfully guided by RCS team members and are organised across diverse geographic regions.

ExecutiveLink® Reviews

What people are saying

“We are really excited to be working with RCS again, as we have had many changes in the last couple of years. It is time to ramp up the business, refocus, and get going in a new direction. RCS has certainly helped us begin this process, and we look forward to progression.”
Grassroots-3-768x576
David and Meredith BarrettTheodore, QLD
“I thought my RCS journey was just going to be about cell grazing. I soon realised I was wrong and thought it was about knowing our business. I was still wrong! After working with RCS and completing Executive Link our business is stronger, we are improving our land, we are happier and our marriage has never been stronger”.
Grassroots Project
Alice GreenupGreenup Eidsvold Station
“Doing EL has been one of the greatest, rewarding, challenging, and empowering experiences of my life. It has enabled me, through being around like minded people, to make a real difference to my grazing practices and pastures, develop an understanding of the economic side of my business, and kick some pretty big personal goals. I didn't expect to get out of EL what I did. I'd have been happy with a tenth of what I got”.

"Making the possibility of a better business and better life a realisation. Turning what you may have regarded as an impossibility into an opportunity."
Education
Joy McClymontLongreach, QLD
"Executive Link is the most challenging experience I have taken on so far, and I can see it will be the most rewarding at the end of the three years, because you are forced to face where and what are the most important things you want out of life. Also accountability, something I really struggle with".

"Our participation in Executive Link has given us access and exposure to people with such an incredible variety of expertise coming from many different backgrounds. We have felt tremendous support while navigating the process of developing a more sustainable and profitable grazing business and finalising our family succession".

Adam and Tracy GunthorpeBanana, QLD
Brilliant counterbalances to board meetings fostered a sense of humour and fun allowing participants to play, develop personal relationships and gel as a group. Since completing Executive Link, our board has continued to support and encourage each other, relishing the triumphs and listening and encouraging at other times. It is an ongoing privilege to be strategic, measure and act, to better ourselves, businesses and our environment.

"In my 30 years of consulting, having worked in many organisations, both government and private, and across many consulting firms, I would consider Executive Link to be the leading edge in continuous new thinking and of constant creation of improvement".
Allan Parker

"It has dragged a lot of things out of the cupboard that we kept putting aside. It has made us confront many issues that we wouldn't have otherwise. It has been a positive process for our business and our family, with a lot of inspiration from our board".
