ACI's Women in Agribusiness presents an interactive workshop meant to prepare you for those sometimes difficult conversations that arise because, well...life.  This workshop, open to all, equips the audience for crucial conversations that must take place when the balance of work and life become lopsided.  Having confident, clarity, and compassion in these critical life situations is a tool that benefits everyone.  In short, attendees will be more prepared for when life throws a curve ball and stuff hits the fan.
