Strategy Café

Wonderful discussion from an ex Head Teacher turned coach on why genz and genx can fail to get each other and what to do about it.

What do you do when you cannot agree, as a hashtag#familybusiness? Especially if that is about agreeing to get help?

This was a wonderful, vulnerable Strategy Café discussion with the incredible Mairi Mickel and Martin Stellar, looking at this conundrum from the family's perspective, the adviser's perspective and as a coach to the adviser.

Amazing, you get three different views of the same problem here with some really rich ideas and solutions. Recommended for family's in business and family business advisers alike.

How Do Families in Business Start to Make Changes When They Can’t Agree?

This is a truly wonderful, vulnerable and open conversation, where the coach becomes the coachee, as Martin and Mairi explore the challenge of helping families make the difficult decision to get help, and how that plays on advisers' minds and hearts as much as it does the family. Such a rich unpacking of complex family dynamics and some paths to navigate through. Of course, this is also about our attitudes to sales and they reframe the problem elegantly.
