Broadcast Date: October 2017
What Will Participants Learn?
- Learn how to be mindful of stakeholders’ thoughts, input, feelings, and cultures and understand how they communicate plant health problems.
- Learn how to identify and adapt to the needs of various stakeholder groups in order to address plant health problems.
Who Should View?
APS members and allied plant health professionals within the United States and internationally at all stages of their careers, especially those in the early and mid-career stages.
Just as doctors must have good bedside manner when dealing with patients, plant pathologists must be mindful of their “fieldside manner” when dealing with diverse stakeholder groups, ranging from growers to politicians. Plant pathologists have many opportunities to foster relationships and understanding with these individuals. These relationships are necessary to take our science to practice. Speakers will share their experiences and advice on effectively communicating and interacting with stakeholders.
