In this episode, I share more about my newly released book, Lifetime to Legacy. I believe that it is insufficient to focus on protecting the future of your family enterprise; focus instead on creating the family enterprise of the future. In the book, I explore  how to take your family enterprise from lifetime to legacy.

I go deep on how families can better connect, collaborate and create to encourage diversity of thought to co-create the businesses of the future. I clarify, simplify and demystify the world that is family business, particularly from an African perspective.

Lifetime to Legacy will provide immense value to:

Business owners looking to transition Next-generation members who are grappling with championing change Non-family staff seeking to make greater impact
