The Challenge:
How To Modernise Family Enterprise
Through Next Generation Leadership
A new generation of family enterprise leadership brings with it many questions for those who aspire to assume leadership positions within the family. Additionally, the measures for success for family enterprises have broadened and modernised, and now encompass concerns such as the environment, impact, and in general, the long term effects on generations to come.
The Fellowship is right for you if you are

These questions do not just keep those emerging leaders awake at night. They are important to the incumbent leadership, to other family enterprise stakeholders, and indeed to the entire family.

​​Much emphasis in family enterprise advisory is placed on the process of succession planning. However, insufficient attention is given to preparing for the marked changes in leadership style, strategic aspiration and even values which emerge when a new leader takes the reins of the family business.​

This series offers invaluable insights into the complexities of family enterprise leadership transitions. By delving into the evolving expectations for family businesses, including a heightened focus on sustainability and long-term impact, it provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities facing future generations.

BENEFITS BENEFITS

Like any new CEO, there is a short period of time to create significance with all the stakeholders, understand the full terrain of the current vision and strategy while seeking to bring the family along for the next stage of its journey. Preparing for this transition can help ensure a successful start for new leadership. At the same time, family business leaders face unique challenges, which corporate CEOs don’t face. These must be anticipated and managed proactively.

The Rising Generation program is tailored to address the specific challenges/issues of emerging leaders, while also allowing for deep dive learning with other emerging family business leaders. We ensure an environment of confidentiality and trust, which enables meaningful sharing to happen.

After completing the preparation coursework and the retreat, participants will be:

  • More in tune with their core identity and strengths as a family enterprise leader
  • Able to navigate the complex overlap between business and family leadership
  • Equipped as the agent of change to actuate their own vision and drive the family enterprise forward
  • ​Connected with a supportive cohort of others on a similar journey
The Rising Generation Fellowship

The Rising Generation Fellowship has an Asia/Australia geographic focus and brings together diverse cohorts of emerging family enterprise leaders for an initial three-day intensive learning and discovery retreat.

The retreat combines personal and leadership development with long-practiced rite-of-passage practices to create a life-changing experience for future business family leaders.​

This offsite gathering is then followed by a series of online and offline connection points – individual coaching sessions and small facilitated groups over the next 6-12 months to help leaders apply the learnings in practice, develop their transformational leadership skills, and benefit from facilitated and peer support of the group.

​​Preparation for the retreat includes core readings, assessments (including 360° from others within the family enterprise), and a debrief to identify specific areas of focus. The retreat itself is composed of three core study modules:

In an extraordinary High-End Location​

Set in the breathtaking backdrop of Australia’s unique nature, this transformative retreat is unlike any other. This ancient landscape, dotted with green mountains and blue water bodies, provides a powerful backdrop to step away from daily routines and delve into deep self-reflection. The raw beauty and unique energy will challenge participants to explore their purpose and vision, and foster a sense of resilience and fierce presence. The well-designed and set accommodations will allow them to connect with nature’s majesty in relative comfort, creating the perfect environment to integrate the materials and shape their future.

The magic lies in the unique fusion of outward adventure and inward exploration. The environment challenges participants’ sense of being in control, while the well-curated serenity fosters profound self-reflection. The stark beauty and quietude have a remarkable way of stripping away distractions, allowing participants’ inner voices to emerge with unparalleled clarity. This echoes the wisdom of ancient cultures who sought vision quests in the wilderness. Just as they did, by stepping outside their comfort zones and immersing themselves in nature’s embrace, participants will unlock a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.

​The program approaches personal growth as a collective inquiry. Looking to develop and exchange learning through emerging ideas and sharing relevant experiences from the rich pool of perceptions and background in the group, the participants are encouraged to develop a sense of confidence and strengthen their intuitive leadership knowledge.

I’ve worked with Elizabeth for several years now, I consider that she very much puts her clients first to achieve the best outcomes for them. She’s very thorough and diligent in her approach but also inspirational
in the way she looks outside the traditional well-being of clients from a financial perspective, looking very much at their emotional well-being and that of their family to achieve the best outcome for intergenerational
succession planning and to preserve family harmony and wealth. I think she’s very inspirational and one of the best leaders I’ve worked with in the succession and wealth management space.

I found it really inspiring to meet a woman in wealth… Elizabeth has such a wealth of expertise in the wealth management space having done it for many years in Asia. She’s extremely client-focused and I would say she excels in getting to know the client and what their pain points are. She really takes the time to understand them and their family dynamics which I think is absolutely fantastic. She’s a real seasoned professional, and she’s very well-regarded in the market. The top thing about Elizabeth is that she’s a real champion of other women in wealth, like me more sort of junior women who are coming up through the​ ranks, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
