Topic: Anxiety, the Game the Whole Family Can Play!
It's hard not to get caught up in the tension and high stakes of family succession planning, and other such conflictual and emotionally charged conversations from Christmas gatherings and beyond. Referencing Bowen family systems principles, this workshop presents ways to think through and discuss issues calmly and clearly, for ourselves and with our clients. Through a collection of personal and professional examples of typical relationship dilemmas, Charlie explores:
- ways to find and develop leadership with calm and clear communication
- how to encourage each individual to define and hold their most thoughtful position on key issues,
- how to balance complexity and clarity.
