We holistically coach family businesses through crisis, growth, and transition
Which part of the soap opera are you struggling through?
We’re in crisis
This business is harming my mental and emotional health.
We’re not growing
Issues within our family business are affecting our market reputation.
It’s time to transition
We can’t see the way out.
A troubled business combined with familial conflict can create a crisis. We get it—each member of our team has been there. If you are a family-owned or closely held business with family members, friends, and key employees working within, we have the experience and expertise to help you.

Our three-stage process
Crisis management
Dysfunction anywhere is felt everywhere. Let our crisis team help you move from survival to opportunity.
Growth support
Let us help you refine your workforce and business operations for future growth, profitability, and personal balance.
Transition planning
Time brings change in all things. Whether you stay in your business or exit, let us help you define your legacy.
Our team coaching model is unique
Why it works…
Complex business and family situations require more knowledge and experience than any single coach, consultant, or advisor can bring. You want a team of specialists in business, family, and personal dynamics. Your team includes:
-
A coach appropriate for your stage will be assigned the lead, while effectively coordinating the team to ensure sustainable success.
-
Your business advisor coach offers expert business advice to boost your progress in unfamiliar areas.
-
Your personal advisor coach brings expertise in assisting families, groups, and individuals through all three stages.

Check the fit
Our team and unique approach must be a fit for you—your family business and our reputation depend on it. Steps one and two are complimentary. We will proceed only if all parties believe our assistance will be beneficial.
Step One: Discovery
A 30-minute video call with our owner and your team. We’ll uncover the issues causing crises, hindering growth, or disrupting your transition. If we see a path to help, we move into step two.
Step Two: Alignment
A deeper, 90-minute session to review issues uncovered in step one and recommend a coaching plan tailored to your business and family needs.
