B+LNZ Interactive Succession Planning Sessions

“Putting relationships at the core of family and business.”

Working through a range of real-life scenarios you will set yourself and your family up for having courageous conversations, gain greater understanding of multiple perspectives, delve into what is fair vs equal and much more.  

The workshop is designed to give you a blueprint of a pathway forward with good relationships at the forefront.

Guest speaker: Chris Coughlan

A partner in Rural Coach, much of Chris’ career has involved working in facilitation with rural communities. A significant part of this involved those challenged with resource use and management. This experience, built a keen understanding and empathy for the impacts of change confronting farming businesses, families and the intergenerational implications that many decisions made can have.  
 
Chris is recognised for her ability to build trust and participant buy-in through providing safe communication environments. Such environments create strong relationships, support robust discussions and make for better decision making. All critical elements for success when family is at the core of succession planning and getting decisions right. 
 
Collectively Rural Coach has worked with over 500 families nationwide on their succession planning journey. We look forward to providing insight into a process that can seem daunting, helping you to get the conversations that matter started.
