Is family performance threatening your business and relationship harmony? For those who have worked tirelessly to build their family business, dealing with performance issues that affect both the family and the company can be discouraging to say the least.

Underperforming family members can affect team morale, lead to unwanted office politics, cause strained relationships, and feel like they threaten the very foundation you’ve built. Even thinking about firing family is stressful, and it shouldn’t be the first solution.

Our next Family Business Executive Forum, led by Certified Family Business Advisor, Chris Yonker and Family Business Advisor and PhD Psychologist, Dr. Jeremy Lurey, is designed to address your unique concerns with both empathy and expertise.

The Family Business Executive Forum is a series of exclusive virtual gatherings designed specifically for family business leaders and their advisors. These forums serve as a platform to bring together the best expert advisors from around the world to share their insights on the most important topics in family business leadership.
