Family Enterprise Office

Your family enterprise has competing needs: personal, work, and business.

Understanding those needs, and each other, beyond what's "on paper" is critical.

 

Historically, a large percent of family wealth is lost each time it passes to the next generation and is completely gone by the third passing. Lack of leadership and stewardship training, coupled with trust and communication barriers is the primary reason for this trend.

 

Solving these family business problems is complex. A family coach from WillKate can empower those involved to navigate roadblocks in pursuit of a meaningful life, filled with purpose.
