Individual Coaching
Collaborating with Professional Advisors
Professionals who work with families on their business matters can quickly get drawn into areas that involve family dynamics, where they suddenly feel like they’re beyond their depth.
That’s normal, as you probably never trained for this and may be wary of actually making things worse if you get involved.
Bringing in an outside person who gets it, who is trained for it and who can allow you to step back a bit can be the ultimate win-win-win.
Family Coaching and Facilitation
Bringing in a skilled and neutral 3rd party brings in clarity, which will lead to harmony.

Work With Steve
Different people have different points of view, amounts of information and ways of communicating. To share or not share. Openness in giving and receiving feedback. Who speaks first! The different stakeholders in a family often have trouble simply knowing how to start talking.
Who I Work With
Most of this website is geared towards families who are involved in the ownership and management of an operating business, so pretty much everything is aimed at this group of people.
