DAIRY NEWS – The Professional Dairy Producers® (PDPW) Managers Academy for Dairy Professionals™ will be held Jan. 14-16, 2020, at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel, 900 North Shoreline Boulevard, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Bringing together progressive dairy farmers, agribusiness leaders, and food system executives, attendees will learn from world-renown speakers, out-of-industry tours, and fellow dairy professionals during the three-day professional development program.
In conjunction with in-class training from expert professional development facilitators, including Holly Green, of the Human Factor, and Michael Hoffman of Igniting Performance Inc., attendees will venture into southern Texas to explore the highly sought after out-of-industry executive tours.
The out-of-industry tours are intentionally designed to help attendees connect the in-class training with the discoveries and common-ground with other industries – this year, showcasing cotton, energy and tourism. Attendees will learn about the fresh approaches to challenges that arise daily within these industries.
Attendees will experience the cotton industry as they tour of a cotton gin, meet with growers and see first-hand how the quality of this commodity is produced at a cotton-classing laboratory. While nearly one hundred countries around the globe produce cotton, China, the U.S., and India combined produce over half the world's cotton, with Texas leading the way domestically.
The U.S. is energy independent thanks primarily to Texas – the largest producer of U.S. oil. During the second program tour, Valero Energy Corporation executives will reveal how this rapidly growing energy sector balances environmental protection with growth.
For the final tour, attendees will meet with Corpus Christie Mayor Joe McComb, a businessman and politician. McComb is a member of the city council and presides over council meetings and official city ceremonies. He also represents the city on the state, national and international levels. In an exclusive setting, Mayor McComb will offer insights about managing Corpus Christie, a coastal city in South Texas just 130 miles from the boarder wall.
With all three tours and meetings, attendees will learn how each has dealt with talent acquisition, employee management, environmental protection, and crises such as weather emergencies and activism.
Registration includes all sessions, training materials, meals, reception tours and tour travel. Hotel accommodations, with nearing deadline of Dec. 23, 2019, will be at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel, Corpus Christi, Texas, with a special $139/night rate prior to deadline. Call 800-843-6664 for hotel reservations.

PDPW Executive-Level Program, Held Jan. 14-16, 2020, in Corpus Christi, Texas
DAIRY NEWS – With agriculture and the dairy industries at a crossroads, management skills, global and local awareness, flexibility and mental acuteness are more critical to success than ever. The 2020 PDPW Managers Academy for Dairy Professionals™ will bring together progressive dairy farmers, agribusiness leaders, and food system executives, to learn from elite professional development speakers, out-of-industry tours, and like-minded peers that will stretch their business savvy.
The three-day program will be held Jan. 14-16, 2020, at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel, 900 North Shoreline Boulevard, Corpus Christi, Texas.
Two expert trainers will facilitate the 2020 professional development program, including Dr. Holly Green and Michael Hoffman.
Holly Green is CEO and managing director of the Human Factor, a consulting firm that develops leadership knowledge, skills and competencies. As a behavioral scientist and experienced business leader, Holly has worked with the U.S. Navy SEALs, Top Gun Fighter Pilots, Olympic athletes, senior NFL referees, the FBI Leadership Academy, and two U.S. Presidents.
Holly will work with attendees on Day 1 of the program line-up to reveal attendee’s cognitive tendencies and revamp their minds with new thinking, ideas and strategies. Attendees will discover the brain’s innate talent for forming patters, creating connections and answering questions, and pivot to make new neutral connections, challenge assumptions and maintain focus.
Michael Hoffman, founder and owner of Igniting Performance Inc., specializes in the skill of sales, customer loyalty and leadership. Michael is highly interactive and offers techniques and tactics necessary for leaders to own their jobs “on purpose” with an “own it-ship” attitude and professionalism.
On Day 3 of the program line-up, Michael will reveal the value of a goal-based coaching approach.
