I like this one: "There is no need to fear any problem you are working on. If you are working on it, then you are influencing the outcome. It's the problems you don't address that should concern you." -@JamesClear

Had a ripper few days across the Brisbane/Darling Downs region on the supply chain tour with the participants in the Advancing Beef Leaders program. Thanks to the wonderful businesses that hosted us.

I can’t believe I completely missed the brilliance of The West Wing… until now! I can’t stop watching. I love it. Thanks to @KeelyKov for waking me up!

Which medieval owl are you today? I’m a solid 7-8.

@Meridian_Ag ‘s @MikeSMeridianAg sharing with about the Livestock Consulting Internship program at the graduation ceremony at @meatlivestock today.

Paul Blackshaw sharing at the Ballarat seminar, reflecting on major events over the last 40 years impacting farming in Australia. @Meridian_Ag

Fantastic graduation lunch for the current participants in the Advancing Beef Leaders program. It’s been a joy working with these people over the last year. @DAFQld #leadership #Beef2024

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their: • Biggest Regrets • Biggest Lessons • Advice to their younger self Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same… Here are my top 8:

I had surgery on my wrist yesterday and the surgeon used texta to inform everyone which arm (the plaster and written notes weren’t enough apparently). It reminds me that most policies & procedures come about because someone once did the wrong thing.

A fantastic few days across southern QLD with the Livestock Consulting Internship crew. We learned that momentum is more important than power when it comes to throwing axes (and work actually); and had great sessions with some speakers and feedlot tours. @meatlivestock

Happy national ag day. It’s a great industry to be involved in. Great people everywhere.

I just saw this: The television series "Mozart in the Jungle" "You say 'amateur' as if it was a dirty word. 'Amateur' comes from the Latin word 'amare', which means to love. To do things for the love of it." How do we 'be professional', while remaining an 'amateur'?

@KirstieAndo I’m glad he took notes! I forgot most of that!

A few weeks ago I had a meeting with @BenRMeridianAg while driving, so my lovely son Jack offered to take notes. Is this what you recall our conversation went like Ben 🤣🤣🤣 #Teenagers #ActiveListening

Had a great few days with the good people of southern QLD on our producer tour last. We are certainly observing an advancing of leadership skills of these beef industry representatives. #advancingbeefleaders #ABL

I’m reading ‘Maverick’ by Richardo Semler. Just getting into it, but there are lovely little gems throughout, including this.

R U OK? The Meridian team intentionally asks each other, ‘R U OK?’ starting a meaningful conversation that could change a life. Whenever you spot the signs that someone you know might be struggling, it’s OK to ask RU OK? ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

@JamesClear If it is to be, it is up to me.

What is one belief or strategy you have adopted that has made your life easier?

It’s #RUOKDay2023 and someone at team @Meridian_Ag made me food!

A fantastic piece on power of mentoring: beefcentral.com/news/celebrate…
