Financial Wealth - a blessing or a burden?

A workshop for those seeking a more harmonious relationship with their family wealth, offering opportunities to explore some of the following:

Next Gen family issues? It is increasingly common for Next Gen to experience dissonance between their family’s attachment to wealth and their own values, particularly with regard to concern for future generations and environmental change. Yet hidden loyalties to family values and our innate human need to ‘belong’ can make it challenging to navigate a new path.

Conflict in a family business? Multi-generational family businesses can present distinct challenges when managing transformative change. These might include the need to marry traditional and inherited ways of working with more modern ones, the search for compromise between differing opinions of family stakeholders, and the sometimes tricky dynamics of incorporating non-family members into the management team. Awareness of the family and ancestral influences in family businesses can help in finding harmonious solutions.

Challenges managing a family office or trust? Different agendas can generate conflict between family members. These might include the variances in personal values and interests of family members and also the dissonance between long-standing philanthropic objectives and current, critical global needs.

Internal conflict with regard to an inheritance? The origin of wealth (e.g. slavery, colonialism and other means of building wealth based upon exploitation of people or natural resources) can generate cognitive dissonance. The topic of reparations is a very current one and yet financial compensation alone may not provided the hoped-for healing.

Health issues? The wealthy are not immune from ill-health and, indeed, the burdens which accompany family wealth can negatively impact both physical and mental health as well as susceptibility to addictive behaviours.

Feeling threatened by anti-capitalist movements? Initiatives to disrupt the accumulation of wealth may leave some wealth-holders feeling threatened and ‘othered’.

This systemic constellation workshop will include opportunities for a number of participants to explore their personal issues. Representing in someone else’s constellation can also bring clarity in your own situation. For more information on the methodology of systemic constellations read this.
