Family Business Advising

If you work in a family business, you may from time to time hear comments like “what a great family, what a great business!” from friends and associates. And of course they’re right! They just might not understand the whole story.

From the outside of a family business, things can appear pretty rosy. But the reality is, even the most loving families struggle to work well together and maintain a positive balance between the family and the business - especially through times of change and transition. The consequences can be heartbreaking at worst, unhealthy and unproductive at best.

My Work

  • Helping families plan for succession and work through choices and conversations that can be challenging

  • Supporting families to come “back to balance” when relationships are strained, people feel stuck and unresolved issues are starting to impact the business

  • Coaching next-gen leaders to make their mark as managers and leaders in their own right and earn the respect that is required for long-term success in the business
