Running a business, especially a farming business, means juggling weather, markets, people, finance, and risk, often all at once. This leaves many managers with decision fatigue and burnout.
In addition, we all have our blind spots and biases that affect what we see and where we spend our time. As a result, we might not be investing time or money in the areas that will create the biggest ‘bang for buck’. Being challenged on our perspective, seeing where our opportunities are and having the support to know how to move forward will accelerate performance and happiness in any business.
Creating real, lasting change takes more than good intentions; it takes time away from the day-to-day, clear thinking, and the right people around the table.
“Talk about your 500% return on investment—we made that without even breaking a sweat.”
Richard Page, ExecutiveLink® member, Young NSW
ExecutiveLink® brings managers and business owners together in professionally facilitated peer advisory boards where you work on your business in a structured way, supported by others who understand the realities of running a complex operation.
Each board is based around continuing education for all involved and regular strategic sessions. Whether it is an issue, blockage or opportunity to work on, these are practical, focused strategic discussions that help you step back and test your thinking to ultimately make better decisions. The facilitator keeps the process on track, while your board provides honest challenge, shared experience, and accountability, so that plans turn into action, not just good ideas.
For more than 30 years, ExecutiveLink® boards have supported farming and regional businesses through long-term change. In 2026, we’re introducing a 12-month rolling enrolment, giving you the chance to experience the value of an advisory board without committing to a traditional three-year program upfront.
To gain a deeper understanding of the program—including the board dynamic, delivery model, and real-world outcomes—you can watch the full Discover ExecutiveLink Webinar on YouTube here.
Want to fast-track kicking your goals? Applications are now open for ExecutiveLink® advisory boards starting in March 2026 in Hobart, Dubbo, and Yeppoon.
If you’re ready to work on your business with greater clarity, discipline, and support from people who understand your world, we’d love to talk.

In this article, David McLean shares the thinking, experiences, and practical insights that led to a significant change in perspective on virtual fencing technology.

Uncertainty has become a defining feature of the current operating environment. Global politics, domestic and international climate conditions, and volatile commodity markets are all creating genuine pressure and raising reasonable questions about strategy in agribusiness. When we strip it back, there are really only two choices in how we respond.
One of Covey’s first principles in management is to do the right things well. That is, to be effective, not just efficient. One of the great conundrums of modern life is that it is possible to be 100% efficient and 0% effective. In no industry is this truer than in agriculture. In this article, Dom Walker broadens the recent conversation around ‘regenerative agriculture’ being painted as a ‘do nothing’ approach to farming.
With hit-and-miss summer rain hinting at a tough season ahead, this article highlights practical paddock lessons on matching stock class to pasture type and planning grazing around key dates to protect livestock performance and country.
