Clear insight. Stronger people. Better results.
The People and Practice Review is a focused, on-farm engagement designed to help owners and managers see their operation with fresh eyes. It provides a practical, grounded look at how people, daily routines, and systems work together and where small changes can create meaningful improvement.
​
Drawing on nearly 30 years of experience in dairy cattle nutrition, people management, and running her own dairy farm, Laura brings a real-world perspective to the connection between daily work, organizational values, and long-term performance.
​
This review helps leaders clearly see what is working, what may be getting in the way, and where opportunities already exist within their operation.
What This Engagement Looks Like
On Farm Observation
Time spent in your business is time well invested.
Laura observes how people interact with animals, facilities, equipment, and one another. These day-to-day routines reveal strengths that are often overlooked, along with opportunities to improve workflow, communication, and efficiency. This is where hidden costs and untapped potential often surface.
One to One Conversations
Short, positive conversations provide insight into what it is like to work on the farm. These discussions surface strengths within the team, highlight where pride and ownership already exist, and identify where better alignment or support could help people perform at their best. Laura will build rapport and quickly put your employees at ease, allowing you to see your farm through their eyes.
What You Receive
After The Visit
You will receive a clear, actionable summary that turns observation into direction.
​
This includes:
​
-
Immediate steps you can implement right away to increase efficiency and consistency

Long-term objectives that support sustainable cultural and operational growth
The result is a practical roadmap tailored to your business, your people, and your goals.

"I recommend Laura Daniels with Hitch Pin. Laura works with a lot of dairy women but also does consulting for farms. She could help in all these areas and positivity, growth, and healing seem to really align with Laura and her ability to work with people."
