And as a side note I would say that the paying for access to the course and therefore the secret workings of the management principles is a major turn off for me and I imagine many others. Seems akin to a pyramid scheme or Scientology and such like.
Although I may have to bring myself to do it in the future
The management principles are not secret, Alan Savory describes them in great detail in his book. The difficult bit is changing how you think about what you are doing, how you make decisions and then applying this on a practical level. It often goes against all we have been taught so we need a bit of help to hold our nerve in the early days.
A well delivered course can help you change the way you think (especially Christopher and @Sheila Cooke) and on a more practical level let you learn from other peoples’ mistakes instead of you having to make them all for yourself.
I also find the people who are prepared to pay, or find a way to get funding, to learn about Holistic Management or listen to the likes of Joel Salatin are a great bunch of like minded people that I really enjoy spending time with and talking things through with long after the course.
