Clearing Clutter: Kristin Keffeler shares how the rising gen can form healthy self identities and thrive.
Kristin Keffeler, a family wealth consultant, provides profound insights into the human side of wealth and family businesses, focusing on fostering human peak performance and thriving. While her own family story differs from multi-generational businesses—her entrepreneurial father successfully built, took public, and sold a company, creating wealth—her personal journey profoundly shaped her work. Navigating questions of identity, purpose, and authentic relationships in her twenties, she discovered the unique challenges faced by rising generations.
Keffeler details the "clutter" (identity, relationship, money, contribution) that can uniquely challenge young family members, hindering their ability to truly flourish. She emphasizes the critical importance of cultivating character strengths like grit, mastery, unconditional positive relationships, and a growth mindset, noting that wealth, if not managed intentionally, can inadvertently buffer against their development. Her work champions an approach where family business leaders prioritize intentional parenting and authentic self-discovery to ensure future generations contribute meaningfully, find fulfillment, and drive the family enterprise forward with purpose.
Key Themes:
Cultivating Human Thriving Alongside Wealth
Addressing "Wealth Clutter" for Next-Gen Development
Intentional Parenting to Build Character
Strategic Engagement & Career Pathways for Rising Gen
Connecting Individual Purpose with Organizational Values
