Why Family Leadership Coaching?
When I was young my family faced tragedy that left us with questions, uncertainty and heartache. We missed out on many opportunities to learn and create memories. We never had the chance to ask the questions we wish we would have. I understand the struggles of founder loss, have dedicated my life’s work to helping other’s solve their challenges, creating deeper connection, and securing continuity in their business.
I am a fourth generation farmer and family business advisor. I help families discover what’s holding them back from creating the farm life they want. I make their life easier by cultivating clarity in communications and putting an end to costly mind-reading that is hurting your relationships and bottom-line.
Get started on your legacy, today.
Every individual and family I work with is different and yes their issues are diverse; the comforting part is that although you feel like you’re the only one out there facing this, I want you to know that you’re not alone! Many solutions to family problems are rooted in about seven common themes that I study and apply daily in work and life.
