Every family is unique, but all families go through a fairly consistent and predictable journey. Understanding this timeless lifecycle and the different evolutionary archetypes families assume provides a powerful tool for seeing around corners and charting a compelling strategic course for the family. Knowing where the family is in its perennial journey and where it is headed next allows family leaders and their family offices to invest in the tools and capabilities that best meet the needs of the family and ensure the well-being of its individual members.
This article is about fostering better family understanding through effective communication about critical issues that impact the sustainability of the family and the enterprise. In the past five years, it has become more difficult to keep stakeholders aligned around shared goals and capital allocations, given the disruptive challenges facing all owners of private capital. Establishing a quarterly discussion will help the family better understand the complexity of decisions being made and will help the family process the ‘pros and cons’ that must be considered.
Wealth and resources can provide wonderful opportunities to support entrepreneurship, encourage philanthropy and practice responsible stewardship. It is also a primary concern for parents who worry about their child’s relationship with money, or how wealth may disrupt a life path. Collected from decades of work with parents and young children, Mindy Kalinowski Earley FOX Chief Learning Officer, and Joline Godfrey, founder of Bounce10 address what not to do when raising children amidst abundance.

This session will explore the transformation of an investment office into a fully integrated family office over the past decade. Attendees will gain insights into how progress is measured through ten key performance metrics developed over the years, supported by real data and analysis. The session will also highlight a compelling case study of a multi-generational investment in Ballyfin, a meticulously restored 200-year-old estate turned Michelin-starred resort in Ireland—demonstrating the intersection of legacy, vision, and precision in long-term family investments.
A new kind of wealth holder is emerging—one who sees money not just as a legacy to preserve, but as a tool to activate in service to the greater good. In this session, author and impact strategy advisor Sharon Schneider introduces The Integrator, a framework for understanding individuals reshaping how families invest, give, and govern.
