Five dairy farmers and allied industry professionals received recognition for completing all three pillars of leadership training in the Professional Dairy Producers Wisconsin’s Cornerstone Dairy Academy. The application-based professional-development program is designed to build the skills of dairy producers and industry professionals who want to expand their skills to lead with purpose, character and integrity.
The two-day program focuses on enhancing the skills of communication, visionary thinking, ethical leadership, servant-oriented leadership and professional etiquette. The presenters also equip attendees with tools to work through workplace challenges caused by generational differences and varying types of emotional intelligence.
The Cornerstone Dairy Academy graduates who have completed all three pillars include Sara Griswold, Beaver Dam; Kalista Hodorff, Eden; Michael Kortuem, Marshfield; Brooke Trustem, Evansville; and Danielle Warmka, Fox Lake.
The PDPW Cornerstone Dairy Academy is funded in part by a grant from the Professional Dairy Producers Foundation.
