Rene works with family businesses to navigate the unexpected challenges that Founders often face, especially when it comes to succession, leadership dynamics, and maintaining a lasting legacy. Drawing on decades of experience advising business leaders, Rene shares how silent conflicts, unchecked egos, and unresolved tensions can derail even the most carefully planned strategy. He explains what leaders can do to protect their vision while keeping teams aligned and thriving. From constructive ways to manage more challenging emotions like fear or envy - to recognizing the interference of cognitive bias, Rene offers an array of hands-on strategies to cultivate a strong emotional core in any family business. These strategies are outlined in his book, The Elephant in the Family Room.
