Empower Your Voice in the Meat Industry
Are you ready to stand out and make a difference in the meat industry? Join us for an in-person workshop designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to effectively communicate with consumers and customers, engage stakeholders, build trust, and lead with shared values.
Consumers are asking more questions than ever before about their food. The conversation today is less about “What’s for dinner?” and more about “Should I be feeding this to my family?” and “Can I trust that it was produced responsibly?”.
Answering these ethical questions with facts doesn’t get us very far. However, communicating with shared values will.
Research shows that connecting through values is three-to-five times more powerful in building trust than simply sharing facts.
This workshop focuses on the core aspects of the Center for Food Integrity Engage program to learn how to more effectively communicate with consumers and customers to build trust using the power of shared values.
By adopting values-based communication, the food industry can better respond to consumer concerns and build a more trusting relationship with their customers.
Only 20 spots per session, don't delay!
