Elizabeth Galbreath, Professional Development Program Manager at BASF and the 2025 AFA Bridge Builder Award recipient, joins The Cultivating Leaders Podcast to share why investing in relationships is the true competitive advantage in agriculture and leadership. From growing up on a Maryland dairy farm to mentoring early-career professionals across the ag industry, Elizabeth reflects on how believing in people, embracing uncertainty, and leading with authenticity can shape careers and cultures. Elizabeth gets real about: * Building bridges: why leadership is about making the path easier for those who come after you * Embracing the gray: navigating uncertainty, change, and complexity without losing your sense of purpose * Knowing yourself as a leader: why self-awareness, boundaries, and emotional regulation are powerful This episode will remind you that progress in agriculture depends just as much on human connection as it does on innovation.
