Family Business Counseling and Therapy
You're Not Alone.
Most Family Businesses members experience conflict and disputes as they try to balance work and family roles.
lf you're a family member within a family business, it is statistically likely that you are experiencing some friction or conflict with other family members right now.
So often, families have unresolved issues within their family history and culture. And the Family Business becomes fertile ground for these issues to grow and fester.
Are you experiencing these common causes of family friction:
Parent as the Boss
For parents and children, separating the roles of family and business is hard.
Generation 1 vs. Generation 2
Established and rising generations often have opposing viewpoints.
Sibling Rivalry
Sibling relationships and personality differences can cause tension in the business.
The Past
Family history, family culture and unforgiveness can make for a tough work environment.
For a Family Business to thrive, the relationships within the family must be healthy.
And to reach a place where the complex relationships within the family are positive, most families must invest time and effort to make it happen.
Most families understand that strong family relationships take work, but not everyone understands how to get there.
This is where our Family Business Counseling can help.
We use strategies that are unique to business families that promote positive communication, understanding, forgiveness and emotional intelligence.
We guide and facilitate your family's journey to health and wellness.
Individual Counseling

Family Counseling

Communication
Everyone can improve their style of communication to make family interactions better.
Personality Types
Understanding your own, and others personality type is key to improving family dynamics and business relationships.
Be Proactive.
As a Family Business Owner, the best thing to do when it comes to getting past difficult family relationships and dynamics is to be proactive.
It doesn't take a lot of life experience to know that problems rarely solve themselves. Instead, it takes action and effort to resolve life, family and business problems.
In a family, and in a family business, everyone has a duty and a responsibility to be positive team members. We help align perspectives, so that family members can see the situation through a common prism. This helps individuals and the family identify the core issues that need to be resolved.
For Family Business Counseling to work, every family member needs to:
Take Responsibility
Everyone needs to accept that the welfare of the family and the business is up to them.
Negotiate
Most often, solutions are found when family members are willing to find common ground.
Expectations
We all have expectations. Expectations need to be discussed, managed and understood.
Tackle the Tough Stuff
Core issues that drive outward behaviour need to be understood and resolved.
