Masterclasses

The Advisor Masterclass is tailored to empower professionals with in-depth insights and strategies essential for advising and guiding family businesses.

In this dynamic workshop, facilitated by family enterprise conflict resolution expert Natalie McVeigh, we will identify potentially problematic behaviours that high net-worth and high-profile families engage in. We’ll examine their causes and effective methods to improve communication and family cohesion.

This Masterclass is a do-not-miss for family business owners, successors, next-generation leaders, and stakeholders invested in the continuity and prosperity of family enterprises.
