Details
Legal, financial, business and other expert advisors are all called upon to help with the challenges families in business face through the generations. To succeed as a business and a family, business families need special help to understand and work together effectively. While each professional discipline works in its own way, an advisor must also understand the broad nature of this complex family/business/financial enterprise.
The workshop offers tools and practices for engaging and helping business families. You will:
- Be able to advise your business family clients more holistically.
- Develop an understanding of the complex nature of a business family.
- Become aware of family dynamics and their effects.
- Develop an ability to assess and communicate these challenges to the family.
- Learn how to present and adapt your role as an advisor to help your clients learn and grow effectively.
