Family Business Councils & Retreats

Families in business operate in an extremely complex and interdependent environment. Many facilitators try to manage this reality by reducing the complexity – i.e., artificially “separating” the various components of the system – the family, the operation of the business, and the ownership of the business – for consideration and discussion.

Beware of this approach – the parts do NOT add up to the whole. Again, you need a facilitator who will accept and engage with the complexity of the system – and help you do the same.

Why Choose Me?

  • Strong expertise in family businesses – I am currently in the dissertation phase of a Ph.D. in Leadership and Change (Antioch University) with a research focus on consulting to family businesses.

  • Solid knowledge of family business complexity and key challenges.

  • Adept at engaging the whole system, rather than using a reductionist approach to artificially simplify the family business system.
