Today, I am excited to speak with Dr. Carl Robinson, Founding Partner at Vantage Leadership Consulting. Carl is a licensed clinical psychologist who has spent the better part of the last 35 years assisting executives and families in preparing for and navigating career-defining moments. His clientele is broad and far-reaching, ranging from non-profit organizations to the Fortune 100, and includes names such as the Federal Reserve System, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Whirlpool, Steel Dynamics, The Hyatt Corporation, and many more.

Carl is a highly regarded public speaker, who has authored a number of articles and has frequently been interviewed by various business publications, including the Wall Street Journal. He is a longtime friend, collaborator, and former member of the Advisory Board of FOX.

Succession is arguably the most important evergreen topic on the minds of enterprise families and their family offices. Carl shares his views on what is required for success in successions among UHNW families and family offices and talks about the importance of talent assessment as families undertake leadership and ownership succession journeys.

Carl offers practical advice for the older generation and those in leadership who are looking to transition control, responsibility, and ownership to the next generation. He also provides invaluable tips and suggestions for the rising gen and those who are poised to step into leadership and fill the shoes of their parents and predecessors.

Don’t miss this highly instructive conversation with one of the longest-serving, deeply experienced advisor and coach to multigenerational enterprises and family leaders.
