Living consciously.

Owning and leading wisely.

Making a positive impact.

The most important investment we make as owners of a family business is the one we make in ourselves – and in the family.
For ownership to remain strong across generations, the family must be strong.

Research shows that family dynamics affect as many as six important areas of ownership and the family business (Familybusiness.org).

Through Bridging Family Impact, you as an owner family will gain new insight into human thought, emotional, and behavioral patterns. This lays the foundation for:

• more open conversations

• more understanding and generosity

• change where appropriate

Change that strengthens both relationships and ownership.

When people develop, ownership also develops

We have all felt it: a desire to break old patterns.
A feeling that the way we react, feel, or act in certain situations is not always for the best – neither for ourselves, the family, nor the company.

But change rarely happens by itself. This applies to relationships, ownership, and business.

Even the most well-thought-out strategies lose power if the people behind them do not develop in step.
Knowledge and awareness provide a basis for change in us humans.

What is Bridging Family Impact?

Bridging Family Impact is a development program tailored for owner families.

The goal is to strengthen awareness around:

• how our own patterns affect ourselves and others

• how other people’s patterns affect us

The program builds on our Bridging Impact concept, which combines insights and methods from:

• NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

• The Enneagram (personality types)

• Thought journeys (meditative processes)

At the heart of the concept lies the understanding of the whole person: head, heart, and instinct.

When something feels wrong, even if the head says it is right, it is a sign that the feeling must also be listened to. For we humans are more than rational thoughts.

If we are to contribute well – in family relationships, in ownership and in the business – we must also feel good.

Who is the program for?

Bridging Family Impact is for owner families who want to stand stronger together – both as a family and as owners.

The program is particularly suitable for:

• families facing a generational change or other major changes in ownership

• families who want to safeguard and strengthen relationships, even when they collaborate as owners

• families who want more openness, dialogue and joint reflection on ownership, family and the future

Practical implementation

We deliver the program internally in a family in its original form as:

• a two-day course, or

• a three-day course

We can also tailor the program to your situation, goals and challenges.
