MINI: Try Hard Not To Offend But Try Harder Not To Take Offence

What tears farming families apart usually isn’t the big blow-ups. It’s the quiet termites — the little digs, careless words, and unspoken grudges that eat away at trust. In this mini-episode, Ben Law unpacks a principle that can transform family dynamics: “Work hard not to offend — and even harder not to be offended.”You’ll hear why truth-telling without timing and respect backfires, how carrying offence poisons family businesses across generations, and when offence is not only justified but essential. Ben draws on lessons from the Stoics, Lincoln, and decades of coaching rural families to show why thicker skin, forgiveness, and deliberate communication are the backbone of high-performing families.If you’ve ever wondered how to balance honesty with harmony in your family or business, this episode will challenge the way you handle conflict — and give you a practical standard to measure your words and reactions against.-----------------------Ben spent over 20 years working with successful business owners and farming families which allowed him to unearth the timeless principles on how to successfully grow, protect and maintain wealth.If you want to learn the principles of how to grow your family’s wealth throughout the generations, then you might consider joining The AgriCoach Podcast each fortnight for more Wealth & Wisdom.Disclaimer: The information contained in this podcast is general in nature and for education purposes only.
