Effective communication is key to the success of any family business. DramaWorks InterActive has put together a program to demonstrate clear and non-confrontational communication techniques for family businesses. Participants will practice skills presented through a series of interactive exercises. They will leave empowered with the ability to hear and be heard, and will learn to take responsibility for what they say. Please encourage your family members to attend this event with you.

Transitions go much smoother when we've prepared for them.

This session will help you look at consequences of significant transitions and identify the resulting needs of the family and the business. At this conference, you will begin planning for a circumstance of your choosing. You will leave with a CD containing tools to help you prepare for a variety of life and business-altering scenarios. We encourage you to bring family members and key employees to this conference.
