I'm here to help you do it better and have more fun.It's called The MOVEMENT Movement because We're creating a movement. Making natural movement to the obvious choice the way natural FOOD is currently. Good Movement Draws Good Movement Terryn Drieling In stockmanship (the art and science of handling cattle in a safe, effective, low-stress manner), we have this phrase . . . good movement draws good movement. It’s this thing that happens when we ask a small group of cattle, maybe a cow, or a pair to move out in a certain direction and their movement draws the whole herd into moving in the same direction.Good movement happens when we approach the cattle with a positive attitude, read and really listen to what they’re telling us, and communicate accordingly. We don’t approach the aware, flighty cattle the same as we do the tame, docile cattle. We adjust ourselves, our energy, and approach, and communicate with each differently.These adjustments help us effectively draw good movement from each, which then draws good movement from the herd. But it starts with us.The same is true for humans. Good movement starts with us.Welcome to Good Movement Draws Good Movement, the podcast where farmers, ranchers, and rural folks can grow relatio Ministry Movement Moments - Principles of Leadership Podcast Reverend Tracy Lewis Welcome to Ministry Movement Moments, a podcast hosted by Reverend Tracy Lewis.
