I help family business owners get unstuck and start moving forward
ABOUT

"Anita has the magic touch when it comes to helping family-run businesses thrive. She is a dynamic mentor and public speaker as well as an exceptional mediator."
My 35+ years experience in family business means there is nothing I haven't seen. Siblings unable to communicate, fathers and sons battling, older generations unable to let go, rising generations and the issues around entitlement. When it feels like there's no way out, I untangle everything and help families reconcile and move forward positively.

WORK WITH ME
A flexible approach; whatever you and your business need
Discovery Workshop
This is the most effective way to open up the conversation in a safe environment, with me as your independent facilitator. People don't like change and they will be sceptical about you bringing in an 'outsider' to move things forward.
But a Discovery Workshop is an upbeat, interactive day with key members of your family business. We will unpick any roadblocks and create a positive plan of action for moving forward.


Creating a PLAN
& Implementation
Succession, sale, growth.... whichever major change is on the horizon for your family business, I will create a tangible strategy and action plan that can be implemented without being overwhelming or time-consuming.
Whether you want to take a step back, retire completely or see the company through to the next stage of growth, I will be there to keep you (and everyone else) on track.
Family Dispute Resolution
Even the closest and most successful families can fall foul of conflicting ideas, miscommunication and agendas. Just because you are related to someone, doesn't mean you always agree with one another.
Things can get very tense and uncomfortable when family members who work together, have a falling out. Especially when it's about the business, money or what's best for the company and individuals.
The good news? You CAN resolve anything and get back to a better place. But you need a skilled and experienced mediator to make it happen. You can't do it alone. I can help.
