Running a family business brings complexity to both the family and the business that few outside of a family business truly understand. At their best, family relationships bring levels of loyalty, rapid action and communication that non-family businesses strive for but rarely achieve. At their worst, family relationships can drain the life from a thriving business endeavor, with anger, resentment, hopelessness and exhaustion poisoning both the business and the family.

The Family Business Forum examines the overlap of business and family relationships and spotlights the difficult conversations successful family businesses must have in order to thrive as a family and a company.

You will leave this session with:

• A written assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of three aspects of your business: family relationships, business systems and ownership systems.
   
• A list of critical conversations every family business must have.
  
  
• Practical suggestions to address business/family overlap.
  
  
• An overall strategy to navigate the family dynamic to achieve both a successful business and Thanksgiving dinner.

Business Psychologist Michelle Clark, Ph.D., brings hands-on experience assisting family businesses to productively manage transitions, have difficult conversations, and build business systems that serve both the bottom line and healthy family boundaries.
