Assessment
	Interviews with family members and key employees and advisors is a simple and enlightening way to get a comprehensive and current picture of your family and your business. More formal assessment tools, some available only to liscensed professionals, may also be used for leadership and succession issues.

Solution-Oriented

Sometimes focusing on problems makes the situation even worse. We often work from a solution-oriented approach, asking the important question "If our work together was wildly successful, what would be different? What is the positive future you envision for yourself, your family or your company?" We move the orientation from "a problem to be solved" to "an opportunity" to move from the status quo to the next evolutionary step. We view your family as a living system that is naturally evolving toward a higher state of functioning. Our job is to provide the expert facilitation that enables you to uncover the positive outcome that is just out of view.

When People are the Problem

Perhaps the most difficult situation is when an individual is causing significant organizational chaos. Professional training in psychology is crucial to understanding and resolving problems with difficult people. Many times addiction or personality disorders are prominent, and interventions must be made....these types of problems do not resolve on their own. There is often strong resistance or denial on the part of the individual, and it can be very difficult to sort out the truth. We can help you do that, and find appropriate solutions in these difficult cases.
