Plain and simple: We get results!
We provide special weekend Clearing and Resolution meetings for your family to resolve your company’s challenges and create a unified vision for the business. Our methods have a demonstrated record of proven results.
The process: We begin with an in-depth phone consultation to get a sense of the issues your family business is facing. Then we move on to the next step.
We arrange weekend meetings with everyone present:
- typically Friday through Sunday
- meetings begin at a set time; the closing time is left open-ended. We work until there is a sense that enough has been accomplished in each session – typically 4-6 hours.
- resolution of the problems or significant change is usually seen by the end of the first weekend.
- additional weekend meetings may be scheduled if needed.
This format works well when family members live in different parts of the country.
If you feel like personality issues, unresolved tensions, or communication problems are causing difficulties in your family business, you can save money, eliminate stress, and free your company to move forward again by resolving the underlying problems.
Highly trained family therapists who understand the world of business will help you clear out all levels of problems
