What Makes my Approach Unique?
Family Enterprise Advising
My training through Family Enterprise Canada equips me with specialized tools to address the complex dynamics of family-owned businesses. From succession and continuity planning to leadership development, I understand the intricate challenges that arise when family and business intersect. This training allows me to work with families on creating strategies for long-term success, balancing the needs of both the enterprise and individual family members. I also help families navigate sensitive issues like generational transitions, governance structures, and aligning family values with business goals.
Systems Theory & Mindfulness
With decades of experience as a family therapist and systemic leadership coach, I’ve mastered how relationships function within larger systems, including businesses. By integrating mindfulness into my approach, I help clients become aware of communication breakdowns and misalignments that impact both personal relationships and organizational effectiveness. Combining this mindfulness practice with my real-world business expertise, I guide clients in recognizing unproductive patterns and making intentional, lasting changes. This holistic approach fosters growth in both leadership and relationships, benefiting individuals and driving business success.
Real-World Business Experience
Having successfully built and scaled a family business, I understand the complex demands and pressures that come with leading and managing a company, especially within a family context. With my deep experience in business development, leadership, and navigating the unique dynamics of family enterprises, I provide practical and actionable strategies that are not only therapeutic but also rooted in proven business practices.
