Seminar - Stepping Back Successfully, Morrinsville, Waikato

Have you made a plan for transitioning off your dairy farm?

Many people put off succession planning because they think it is too difficult or feel anxious about the future. This informative and interactive day will start you on the path to creating a succession plan that will work for you and your family. It includes the following sessions:

Planning - start early and get it right

Brett Robinson, Rural Coach, will take you through when and how to start your succession journey, thinking about your goals and values, and who can support you to make the right decisions for your family and business.

Structuring your farm business to thrive

Anna Bennett, accountant, CooperAitken, and Jacqui Owen, Jacqui Owen Legal, have years of experience supporting farmers to achieve successful succession planning outcomes.

Mike Johnson and Laura Flynn, investment advisors, Craigs Investment Partners, have helped many farmers to invest wisely. They will talk about investment options and how you can invest to support a comfortable retirement and achieve your retirement goals.

Real-life stories

Hear about real-life succession journeys from local farmers. What challenges did they encounter and how did they overcome them? What business structures did they investigate and which one did they implement? Who did they involve in the process and how did they include the key stakeholders in their business? This process affects the whole family, so bring everyone along!

Dropping Kilos, Not the Mic with Hamish McKay - LIVE webinar

From the bright lights of the sports newsroom to the quiet struggles behind closed doors, Hamish McKay’s story is one of reinvention, resilience, and rediscovery.   

Best known for his decades-long career as TV3’s lead Sports Anchor and Rugby Editor, Hamish later became a respected voice in rural broadcasting and real estate. But while his voice was booming across the airwaves, behind the scenes he was fighting a very personal battle—with his health, mental wellbeing, and weight.   

A chance injury—and a timely meeting with a surgeon—set Hamish on a path to shed 55kg and reclaim his health. His story is one of grit, humour, and a second shot at life. 

Join us for this honest and inspiring session as Hamish shares the lessons, setbacks, and breakthroughs that led to his transformation — a raw and often humorous journey of survival and reinvention.
