FAMILY & CLOSELY-HELD BUSINESS

ADVISING

Vocare Advising specializes in business-owning families and owners of closely-held businesses. We teach founders, owners, families, leaders and executive teams how to execute and integrate best business and family practices through developing essential skills like emotional intelligence, system thinking, differentiation, polarity management and more.

As founders and parents it has been our pleasure to work with Vocare (and our three sons!) to navigate a successful transition to the next generation of leadership and ownership of our business. Your patience, persistence and exceptional ability to engender trust kept the difficult family conversations manageable and productive.

Believe us, we know it is no small challenge to work with people you’ve known your entire life. We also know how uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinner will be if things aren’t handled compassionately and with integrity. Vocare Advising helps tackle challenges like:

Next Generation Leadership Selection: Determining which sibling or in-law in generation two is the best qualified to lead the enterprise.

Interpersonal Conflict: Navigating daily operations and crucial conversations

Executive Team Advising: We also know that partnerships and executive teams in long-hold, closely-held businesses share a lot of characteristics with family businesses.

Role Alignment: Making sure you don’t have the wrong person in the wrong seat on the bus

Leadership Training: Developing the emotional intelligence necessary for contemporary organizational leadership.

Founder Transition: Helping founders renegotiate their role and relationship to the enterprise they started and often still love.
