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, alignment of these ethical ideals with strategic business planning, leadership assessment, successor development, and family business succession readiness become key factors to long-term family business continuity. As an experienced family business advisor, strategic business consultant, and leadership coach, Francine Carlin works with family business leaders to build a roadmap that will carefully and effectively breakthrough the silent barriers that are often present when faced with key decisions related to strategic business direction, leadership development, and succession planning. |

Entrepreneurs fuel economic growth through strategic vision, passion for innovation and willingness to take risks. However, overtime they can be faced with having entrepreneurial goals blocked by a fear of change, resistance to new ideas, and a lack of trust that can creep into the work environment. These silent barriers reduce leadership effectiveness and ultimately threaten business success. As a leadership coach and business strategist, Francine Carlin works with entrepreneurs to break-through these barriers to successfully set achievable strategic business goals and objectives, develop a meaningful leadership team, and sustain trust at all levels. |

"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."
