Family Communications and Conflict:
Building Trust by Talking About the Right Things
presented by
Dr. Chris Eckrich, Principal, Family Business Consulting Group
Join
us for the next family business forum as Chris Eckrich presents a series of
intriguing case studies that will guide participants through an interactive
session of trust building through effective communications. Chris specializes in building relationship excellence and
maintaining family unity in family owned businesses. He assists family owned
firms in establishing orderly succession plans that maximize effective
leadership transition and prevent conflict during the transition. Chris' family
history in entrepreneurship was founded in the meat processing industry (formerly Eckrich
Farms). Topics for his
upcoming workshop will include:
-
Effective
listening skills
-
Building
safety for deeper and important discussions
-
Presets and
triggers
-
Accountability and alignment, and their relationship to trust
-
Technology
and its impact on family business communications
-
Tools for
entering high impact discussions
-
Communication style preferences
"I Think We Need To Find A Better Way to Communicate"
“ "We
need to communicate better" is said by nearly all families in business,
even
those whose relationships are solid and whose businesses are functioning effectively.
Some family members get left out of the loop, some hear words but miss the message, and
some feel unheard despite much talk between family members. The busyness of
business naturally creates communication styles that occasionally create
distance between two or more people who sincerely care about each other. This
workshop will explore what family members can do to improve being heard
and reciprocally develop better listening skills to hear what other family members are
trying to say.
Don't miss out on this exciting presentation. The workshop is being held
Friday, November 13th, in the Kendall Cram Lecture Hall, in the Lavin Bernick
Center at Tulane University's uptown campus. Register early
via email or call (504) 862-8482. A full- service breakfast will begin at 8:00
a.m..
