Humans of Agriculture

Back in May we had the chance to host a Next Gen conversation at the Elders tent at FarmFest. Someone in the elders team who is most definitely going places is Georgie Speedy and we wanted you to meet her. Georgie is a St George local, leaving high school she had no real idea where her future might go. Eager to stay in the area she began wroking at a metal fabrication business before the chance to join Elders popped up.

In those 3 and a bit years, she has grown and developed a lot both personally and professionally. She'sJust a short 3 and a bit years on, she is now the Branch Manager, leading her team for St George and Cunnamulla.

In this chat she shares a little bit about those learnings, without tertiary qualifications she's learnt on the job, surrounded herself with mentors and has some sound advice. Make "the 30 second call to double check or a 30-minute call to fix it"
