The seminar is a full- day, practical program designed for owners and operators of family businesses, business heirs and potential successors. The seminar helps them identify ways to effec tively manage the ay-to-day con- flicts that result when family and business roles are confused.

Topics include: characteristics of family-owned businesses; culture and mission of the business and of the family; succession and leader- ship transition; transferring the business to heirs or selling it to outsiders; managing conflict among the heirs and legal and tax implications. Through specialized coun- selling, an experienced FBDB advi- sor guides the entrepreneur, management team and- family members through a process which helps them to resolve the key fami- ly and business issues they face. To do this, the counselor helps the entrepreneur ¢stablish family coun- cil, set up advisory boards, identify and develop training plans for suc- cessors and liaise with the company's professionals regarding accounting and legal issues. Counselling also provides assistance in the fol area: distinguishing between family concems and business concerns; identifying areas of conflict between potential heirs; bringing issues about retirement and death into the open and structuring a succession plan with the entrepreneur and the heirs. ‘The entire process is completely con- fidential.
