Concurrent Conversations #1 | Family Risk – Speaker

How can a family get “unstuck” from an impasse that is blocking effective decision making or interfering with the health of the business?

Workshop #2: Building Credibility as a NextGen – Speaker

NextGen family members seeking a role in their family business or in family governance must prove themselves. Non-family stakeholders must feel comfortable that the NextGens have earned their roles and were not just given a job because of their last name. Older family members must see the NextGens as dedicated adult professionals and not as the children they used to be. This workshop will be a forum for open discussion on building and demonstrating credibility.
