Laurel and I met years ago at the Hamilton-Halton Construction Association. At the time she was working in her family business, and was an active member on HHCA's Board of Directors. Later, as an independent consultant, she helped Mattina work through a number of important business challenges and improvement initiatives. Now, with a Family Enterprise Advisor specialization, I believe Laurel is uniquely qualified to help family-owned construction companies tackle one of the most pressing challenges we face as an industry: that of successfully transitioning the business from one generation to the next. If you're a business owner who could use help with the more "hands-on" side of succession planning, I strongly encourage you reach out to Laurel to see how she can help you.

Laurel's greatest strength is her unassuming style that helps a wide range of people to trust her enough to put the "real issues" on the table. She then helps leadership to focus on these issues, and use their collective knowledge of them to create a viable, winning and lasting change process supported by a wide range of stakeholders. The change process pays dividends well into the future both corporately and personally. I would highly recommend Laurel's work in complicated and challenging organizational transitions.
