Generations Workshop:
Planning for the future of your family business can be challenging. Often, estate plans focus on avoiding issues like taxes rather than ensuring a successful transition for the next generation, which can lead to conflicts and challenges. Join this workshop that is designed to help families:
Align Expectations: Move beyond inheritance assumptions to create clear understandings and agreements.
Define Goals: Identify what you want your estate and succession plans to achieve.
Challenge Norms: Explore and evaluate new perspectives on succession and estate planning.
Explore Options: Discover creative and effective estate and succession strategies you might not have considered.
Make Decisions: Use decision-making tools to objectively assess and choose the best options for your family’s goals.
Participants will outline their estate and succession plans within a framework that considers the impact on family dynamics, business management, and asset ownership both now and in the future. Join us to create a clear, effective plan for your family business’s future.
What do you get out of this?
These workshops offer a supportive environment and expert coaching to help you kickstart or advance your planning process. These workshops are designed to be highly interactive; you will have opportunities to collaborate with fellow participants, share insights, and gain practical experience in strategic planning.
Don't Miss Out! Attendance on both workshops is encouraged to maximize your learning experience and gain a comprehensive understanding of succession strategies. Join us and take the next step towards for your legacy!
We recommend attending with family members to ensure that multiple generations are represented and involved in the discussion.
