Principal Educator –
Brian Wehlburg

Introducing Inside Outside Management’s principal Holistic Management® Educator

From Africa originally, Brian Wehlburg migrated to Australia in 2001. He obtained his initial experience as an educator training new recruits at the Zimbabwe National Air Force Parachute School. Following this he obtained an agricultural diploma and, in 1981, after two years as a farm manager he started his own agricultural enterprise, growing crops for export, breeding cattle and operating a safari business and wildlife conservancy.

An introductory Holistic Management course in 1995 inspired Brian to implement his new understanding and knowledge, using grazing as a tool to improve the environment with resultant increased stocking rates, significant pasture improvement and regeneration of water seeps. In 2001 he completed his Holistic Management Certified Educator’s course.

Since arriving in Australia Brian has broadened his hands-on experience, working for a pastoral enterprise in Southwest Queensland as a pasture and cattle manager and grazing consultant and managing a stacked enterprise grazing property in New South Wales. He enjoys sharing his passion for environmental improvement and grazing management.

In Zimbabwe, Brian held field days for local tribal farmers and involved his staff with new grazing practices. As a director of Inside Outside Management, he has worked throughout Australia and New Zealand providing Holistic Management training and consultation to a wide variety of people, businesses and environmental groups. This has included the delivery of full Holistic Management courses, short grazing management courses and the 18-month TAFE Holistic Management diploma.

Brian has much experience working in a team with people from different cultures and backgrounds. This, together with his passion for Holistic Management allows him to create an atmosphere of trust within a group, enabling the diverse participants to actively contribute towards positive outcomes. He is motivated by seeing the positive change that Holistic Management can bring to people’s lives and livelihoods.

Brian is a certified Educator with Holistic Management International and a certified Field Professional with the Savory Institute and a board member of Holistic Management International and the Australian Holistic Management Co-operative.

He is also a proud member of HMENZA, Holistic Management Educators of Australia and New Zealand

Testimonials

I can't rave about the value of these courses enough. Thinking and planning holistically has saved the lives of many who have been challenged to continue is a business-as-usual manner. Not just for land managers these courses open you to thinking in a new and more holistic way. Please share and consider. Brian Wehlburg is a great trainer and share of insights.

- Bronwyn Elliott, Northern Rivers NSW

Anyone thinking of doing this course - I highly recommend taking the time out to attend. Personally, I drove 7 hours there and back to attend this course and can say it was well worth the time and effort. Not only did I learn great techniques and concepts for managing our land, animals and farm in general, so many questions in my head were answered. I also greatly benefited from being around other farmers and Landcare people.

- Fiona Bryce, Northern Rivers NSW

I was told before the course that it would change my outlook on life and farming It did that in a big way and has been a very positive influence on my attitude to farming. Working with nature is certainly a much more rewarding process than working against it.

- Brent Alexander, Cootamundra NSW

Absolutely loved doing this course and so glad I did it. I met amazing people at it. I was very empowered by Brian who delivered the learning with excellent knowledge backed by his own experiences farming holistically using the method that he teaches in his own life and using examples for us to look at. It’s a course everyone would benefit from and made the learning fun and enjoyable. I have learned new skills that I am excited to utilise. So grateful that Brian travelled over to teach us West Aussies.

- Megan Brooks, Perth WA

After years of self-teaching and trial and error, formalising learning has made it more succinct and clearer in being able to work through and implement.

Brian has an incredible empathy in conveying these concepts and ideas to a range of levels in our learning group.

- Richard Daugherty, Balala Station, NSW

Farmers are a hard group to teach but this group learning experience facilitates change well. Everyone gets more from the course than they bargained for. It is evident throughout the course that Holistic Management can benefit everyone from the country to the CBD.

- Sam Bonello, Bangalow NSW

I got so much more out of this course than I ever imagined. I have reassessed every aspect of my personal, work and business life and am inspired to make a positive change as a result of my newfound perspective and knowledge. Thank you so much, Brian.

- Claudia, agronomist and grazier, South West QLD

Do it! ….. please do yourself a favour and do Holistic Management.

- Tim Eyes. The Food Farm, NSW

I feel the (Holistic Management) course has provided me with the tools I was lacking in order to achieve my vision for my farm, but also now my family, friends, life. Thank you!

- Daniel Cross, Holistic Management course, Kandanga QLD

The [Holistic Management] course is transformational in methods of thinking and looking at how to live and manage land.

- Wilf Sweetland, Macedon Ranges VIC

Well rounded course that provides an in-depth overview of regenerative agriculture in a clear and understandable way. We feel confident in initiating change in our life.

- Kath Miller, Holistic Management Course, Muresk Institute WA

Best informative and practical course I have ever done. It has given me confidence and skills to move forward to create a profitable cattle enterprise as part of my life’s context. I love that feelings and connection to the land are recognised in everything.

- Nicky, Holistic Management Course, Bairnsdale VIC

My partner and I have had the pleasure of being enlightened by Brian Wehlburg of Inside Outside Management, the course has been empowering, and a life changing experience, would recommend to anyone it’s not just farmers who would benefit from Holistic Management.
