Shane Thomas is an Ag Professional with Upstream Ag Insights who “…provides unique perspective surrounding agribusiness news and events that empowers readers to become better thinkers, more effective leaders and deliver better results.”

A few years ago he shared a newsletter about 22 hacks that Ag Professionals can use to be more effective in delivering their services to clients. Though originally started as a list for university and college grads entering the ag industry, many long-term professionals found the list to provide good reminders for any professional.

Shawn recently updated the list, rewriting parts of the list and adding others. Here are some of the hacks that he includes in this helpful list:

Ask Questions
Embrace Complexity
Create a Brand
Build a Brand
Identify Role Models
Have High Standards for Yourself and Others
People Matter
Outcome Over Ego

Even for those of us who have been providing advice for many years, these lists often provide good reminders—a type of checklist—of the things we know we need to do yet sometimes lose sight of in our busy schedules.
