Francine Z. Carlin is the founder of the Business Harmonizer Group, a British Columbia, Canada-based, consulting firm dedicated to helping business owning families and entrepreneurs identify and resolve emotionally charged issues, the silent barriers, that affect decision-making related to love, power and money. |

Family owned businesses sustain the economic base of North America: they perform, they contribute, and they last. However, the business and the family have separate as well as overlapping interests and needs that must be addressed to ensure sustainability. For the business to flourish, the family must also flourish. As an experienced family business advisor, family business facilitator, and family business conflict mediator, Francine helps business families successfully talk about and resolve emotionally charged issues related to love, power, and money. By addressing such silent barriers, Francine helps balance sensitive family dynamics with business reality. |
|
The long-range vision of family owned firms is often intertwined with the family's historical values and beliefs. Therefore, effective family business management, leadership 360° assessment and development, and family business succession readiness become key factors to long-term family business continuity. As an experienced family business advisor, consultant, and leadership coach, Francine Carlin works with family business leaders to identify and address the disruptive attitudes and behaviours that can threaten business longevity. Such issues are often the silent barriers that undermine business decision-making, leadership development and ultimately the successful transfer of the business from one generation to the next. |
|
Entrepreneurs fuel economic growth through strategic vision, passion for innovation and willingness to take risks. However, at times they can be faced with having their objectives blocked by others with conflicting attitudes and behaviours. These silent barriers can reduce leadership effectiveness and ultimately threaten business success. As a leadership coach and business strategist, Francine Carlin works with individual entrepreneurs to break-through these barriers to successfully set achievable strategic goals, develop a meaningful governance structure and strengthen leadership competencies. |

"Our family has worked with Francine to create a regular process of family meetings, confronting personal, family and business issues large and small. Francine has helped guide our family to a much greater understanding and appreciation of the complexities and roles that all family members have in a family enterprise. Without her help we would have just had a business and a family now we are truly a Family Business."
D. Porte, Porte Realty, Ltd. "Our work with Francine in our Family-Business Council, has helped us break through communications barriers and develop family business programs and policies that are helping us move successfully towards a fourth generation of shared family-business ownership." D. Yochlowitz, ABC Recycling, Inc. "Francine is able to creatively link issues of the heart to the real world of business." D. and J. Miller, JJM Construction "As a result of Francine's intervention, senior managers were able to mend some fences and clear the way for greater mutual trust and respect." G. Zlotnik, ZLC Financial Group "The ability to start with a framework in the morning and work through the issues was absolutely necessary to achieve a productive solution. Francine's presence was great." L. Simkins, The Copper Lion, Inc. |
