FAMILY ISSUE SYNOPSIS
Following is a synopsis of the significant issues that families and high profile clients face, and the work proposed to help resolve these issues in order to maximize productivity, a sense of purpose and true happiness.
High-profile and high-net-worth families face a number of challenges:
- The emotional complexity of working with family and creating a healthy relationship with wealth
- Confronting complex family and inner circle disputes, such as; unresolved issues concerning how the family/business handles discussions regarding control, the decision-making process and the tactics of preserving wealth over generations.
- Inner circle dependence and a lack of truthful, objective and valuable guidance and support
- Dealing with an underlying struggle of identity, e.g. – how to manage the gap between who you are and how the press chooses to portray you; how to live a life that is fulfilling and authentic under the constant eye of the press
There can also be disconcerting isolation when dealing with high-stakes issues such as divorce, termination, partnership dynamics, dependence, and other personal and private challenges. The following questions are common:
- How do I process and work through challenging pivots in my career and personal life?
- Who can I trust to be courageously direct, understand the issue/opportunity and who has the experience to give advice and help drive change?
- How do I find and develop trusting partnerships with people, who will look out for my best interest; that challenge me V enable counter-productive behaviors?
- How do I negotiate and navigate family dynamics by being clear about what I need and want while understanding the importance of moving on and being fulfilled in the process?
- How do I develop close relationships, which include mutual altruism?
The Work
Each situation is analyzed to determine the needs of the individual/family/team. Sample work includes:
- Facilitating partnership dynamics and disputes including divorce, family and business partnerships
- Coaching individuals through issues and opportunities, resulting in greater performance, purpose, fulfillment, and happiness
- Working with a group (families/teams/peer groups) to get aligned, work toward strengths and common goals, and drive results
