Empowered Ownership Workshop
Empowered Ownership The Conversations That Prevent Conflict, Resentment & Regret
A live, practical workshop for family business owners preparing to gift or transfer ownership.
Get the conversations right now – so you’re not fixing the consequences later.
Why This Workshop Matters
For some, the changes to APR and BPR have forced you to consider ownership transfers ahead of the rule changes. For others you may be considering a change in ownership as part of a transition.
The focus, understandably, is typically on tax and the technical elements of that transfer.
But has equal attention been paid to what really determines whether that transition strengthens or strains the family? Issues such as:
- Expectations and emotions around fairness
- What “letting go” and “stepping up” really mean
- The changing roles, influence, control and authority that follow
The paperwork might protect your wealth.
These conversations protect your relationships.
This workshop gives you a proven structure to navigate those discussions calmly and confidently — before any documents are signed.
What You’ll Gain
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:
- A Pre-Gift Conversation Checklist – what to discuss, and what’s too important to skip
- A clear conversation model to bring structure and confidence to potentially awkward discussions
- Language and framing tools that keep dialogue constructive, not confrontational
- A method to align expectations across generations without creating false harmony
- Confidence that your family is genuinely on the same page
