Your Relationship with Money
How we talk about money matters. It affects our quality of life and our wellbeing. Too often, today’s consumer culture shapes our money habits and values. This can lead to consequences such as increased stress and diminished wellbeing—regardless of net worth. Learn how you can think positively and proactively about your finances and your future—including bringing values into the equation when making decisions about money.

Family Transitions and Succession
The key to effective transitions of ownership and leadership is preparation. This module will provide a deep learning experience for rising generational family members to proactively initiate strategies to take steps for meaningful empowerment. The balance of assertiveness and respect is required to develop a perception of readiness and increase the likelihood of gaining additional responsibilities within the family enterprise. These attributes will be honed and developed to build confidence and clarity on how to approach family leaders.

Community and Philanthropic Boards for Impact and Collaboration
Families of affinity that give back to the community have a deeper connection to the purpose for the wealth. Developing a peer network for personal development provides a meaningful set of relationships outside the family and can lead to successful generational transfer. Community and philanthropic boards are an impactful way to learn valuable skills and equip you for the roles within your family governance process.
