Family Enterprise Consultation
Iridium Leadership specializes in supporting families through the human dynamics that often challenge business and legacy decisions.
What is Family Enterprise Consultation?
The common supporting factors for successfully-run family organizations are:
- Financial Advising
- Strategic Planning
- Legal Services
- Relationship Management
Items 1 – 3 are essential. And they can be quickly undone if negative relationship dynamics go unchecked.
Iridium Leadership specializes in supporting families through the human dynamics that often complicate business and legacy decisions. With a strong foundation in family systems theory, we are well-prepared to guide families through the complex aspects of family and business dynamics.
We support families through the human element present in:
- Succession planning
- Wealth transfer
- Strategy development
- Family office leadership dynamics
- Conflict
- Communication challenges
Our Approach
Our approach is no-nonsense.
No forced communications or attempts at pseudo-peace.
This is not family therapy.
Instead, we work to engage clients with the facts and data of their own functioning, members’ desired outcomes, and the practical steps it will take to get there. No doubt, relationships are often improved through this process.
Our primary aim with these engagements is to:
Help key players be less anxious
Gain objective clarity
Fortify communication channels
Make needed decisions
Help strengthen the family’s capacity to sustain these behaviors for themselves
