060: Ahead of the Herd Special Series Episode - Building Trust & Leading the Next Chapter
GPS DairyCASTShow Notes
Ahead of the Herd: Results That Lead is a limited-series GPS DairyCAST highlighting how the next generation of consultants is driving meaningful change on modern dairies.
In each episode, GPS NextGen consultants share how they approach complex challenges, earn trust quickly, and turn insight into action - without being bound by “how it’s always been done.” These conversations focus on thinking, leadership, and accountability.
In this episode of Ahead of the Herd: Results That Lead, GPS consultants Megan Abeyta, PhD, Jordan Hunt, PAS, and Andy Bohnhoff, DVM, join GPS Founding Partner King Hickman, DVM, to discuss earning credibility, leading before you're asked to, and preparing people and operations for what’s next. This panel brings together three GPS Dairy consultants who work at the intersection of technical expertise, communication, and leadership. They earn trust quickly, navigate difficult conversations, and help teams move forward — even when change isn’t comfortable.
