On this episode of the Family Business Voice, Nike Anani discusses her new book, Lifetime to Legacy, and how it can help business families navigate succession. Nike and Ramia explore the importance of relational values to family business continuity and discuss techniques that founders and next-gens can use to facilitate the transfer process. - Founders typically focus on the technical and legal side of transition, but building bridges and relationships within their organisation is just as important in preparing the next generation. - Different cultures perceive the family structure within their unique and sometimes rigid context. Next-gens, exposed to Western ideas of independence and autonomy through school or travel, can clash with incumbent generations when they return home. Working through these complexities takes understanding and engagement from both sides. - Data suggests that most unsuccessful family business transfers are due to a lack of trust and communication, not through failed strategy or technical planning. Next-gen members looking to bridge the generational divide should start small with open discussions that include siblings and other family members. First-gen members can take a similar approach, speaking with their spouses about the kind of legacy they wish to leave. The most compelling legacies revolve around the collective family and not any single individual.

In this episode my guest Nike Anani and I speak about her journey of leaving a cushy corporate job in London to move back to Lagos, Nigeria to work in her family business. Nike is an international award-winning entrepreneur, succession specialist and a legacy planning expert for future-focused business families. She is on a mission to help businesses move from lifetime to legacy, such that they build family enterprises of the future. With over a decade of family enterprise expertise in Nigeria, Nike helps owners lead their family organizations to long-term legacy and impact. Her inside experience as a second generation family business owner and family office pioneer birthed a passion to help other families in building enterprises that would outlive them. Nike is the Author of "Lifetime to Legacy: A New Vision for Multigenerational Family Businesses" and the host of "The Connected Generation" podcast - a top-10 Family Business podcast globally that is dedicated to NextGens that are seeking how to navigate building generational enterprises whilst leaving an impact. In this conversation we explore: + bridging divides between older generations and younger generations in the workplace. + how to get someone to buy into a change or new idea they may be resistant to. + the three things every entrepreneur needs especially if they want to work with family.
Nike brings her valuable wisdom, firsthand experience, and elegant articulation to the podcast in this episode - she's a Consultant specializing in family business where the torch is being passed down to a new generation. Our conversation moved very naturally through various topics including Nikes Bio, technological changes, personal experiences with businesses, the future of business, the melting pot of Austin TX, cognitive diversity, maintaining a growth mindset, and we weave through various philosophies of tech, leadership, culture, generational differences, legacy, and much much more. Certainly an episode for everyone, not just those in family business. Please hit subscribe/follow! Thanks for listening! Here's her bio: “Nike Anani is a Speaker, Author and Consultant to NextGens that seek to lead their Family Businesses.

Nike has almost a decade of experience working in African family businesses, as a NextGen in her parents' businesses and also as a co-Founder of several others. This inside experience as a NextGen birthed a passion to help others in similar shoes as herself in being effective change champions that collaborate with other family members and stakeholders in co-building legacy businesses that would outlive them. After graduating from University College London, United Kingdom, with a degree in Economics in 2008, Nike worked at Deloitte London for 3 years in Corporate Tax International where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant.

If you are the founder of a family business, you've certainly worked really hard to secure its future, not only for your children but also for future generations. But now, when the time has come to start handing over the reins, things seem to be harder than you initially thought. You may feel like your kid is not listening to your advice that comes from years of experience and solid expertise, and they try to change everything without understanding what it really takes to build a business. On the other hand, if you are a NextGen starting to take over the family business you may feel that the founder is never listening to your innovative ideas, that they never want to back up and let you make your own mark. In family businesses, this is typical when the guard changes. Unfortunately, oftentimes this generational gap leads to conflict that can seriously affect family relationships and can even lead to destroying the business. And this is something you certainly don't want to happen. But what can we do to prevent this? What do you have to do if you want to start building a business legacy or building a legacy business that lasts for more than one generation? How do siblings become good business partners? For this and much more, tune in to a new episode of The True Wealth Project! The award-winning family business strategist, Nike Anani joined Sascha Janzen on episode 22 of The True Wealth Project to discuss just that. A business founder but also a NextGen in her own family business, Nike has the ability to empathize with both generations and act as a connector.

Join Francesco Lombardo for this week's Safe Space as he speaks with Nike Anani, a second generation business owner. In Nigeria, 90% of businesses are family businesses, but statistically only 2% of them survive into the next generation. Why is this happening? It is important for the Senior and NxtGen to have conversations about both the operational AND relational parts of the family business, but where does this start? How will working together on a shared purpose and shared future make businesses more successful for many generations to come? Nike & Franco discuss how family businesses can have a healthy future by developing oneself, having healthy family communication and creating a safe space for this to happen.

Our guest for this episode featured Nike Anani, Founder of African Family Firms, which is a non-profit community of family business owners of African descent from around the globe. Nike' got her start as a member of her own family's construction firm when she lived in Nigeria. Born there, but raised and educated in the UK, she went back to work in the family business with her father in Nigeria and eventually helped the family plan their own succession. This led to her work with other family businesses. Her typical client is a 2nd generation owner of a family business of African descent. She works with them to build a legacy plan, a wealth and estate plan, while counseling them on developing a communication plan to help facilitate and complete all of the above. With an asset base of $50M and above, these would be considered larger family enterprises by comparison to most, making their situations more complex and time consuming, but still having many of the same issues family business owners tend to face. Nike recently released "Lifetime to Legacy" a book about how to leave a family business legacy. Her advice for our listeners:1. Be mindful of all stakeholders in the family business and use empathy when dealing and communicating with each other2. Owners should try to include the Next Gen into the planning as early as possible. Being a successor can be intimidating; the earlier they know what's going on, the higher likelihood of success.

The Book Leads – Episode 29: Nike Anani & Lifetime to Legacy: A New Vision for Multigenerational Family Businesses For this episode, Nike Anani guides me through the nature of her work as a Succession Specialist who guides families in preparing family businesses to live on beyond this generation, the next and those that follow. Her career journey began after returning to her homeland of Nigeria, after having lived and studied abroad, to move the family business forward. What I took away from this great conversation is how we can all consider that successional mindset, to declare and work for what will be here beyond our work today and that of the generation that follows us. There's being reactive to the world around us, and then there's being proactive about what steps we're going to take, how we're going to work together, and how our name and mission will live – and thrive – beyond our lifetimes. Some highlights we touch upon in this episode: How society can tend to be about façade and veneers, but trauma can bring something beautiful, and that the failures and hardships allow us to learn so much – even in the family business. How perspective can be everything, allowing us to realize what we have when we step away and come back with fresh and opened eyes. The writing process and what worked for Nike The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Nike is, How do you go about setting up your legacy, whether individually, as a business, or as a family?

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Nike Anani. At 9 years old she went to the UK with her mom and brothers for what she was told was a summer vacation, but they never left. Nike's dad stayed behind in Lagos, Nigeria to run the family business, and it wasn't until she was in her 20s that she learned how extremely successful the family business was. Nike's parents' intentions of not sharing the scope of the business were good. They wanted their children to be focused, hardworking and self-motivated. However, as Nike explains, she didn't grow up in a wealthy culture and found herself not knowing how to navigate life as a wealthy person.

Host: Marrin Costello Guest: Nike Anani Produced by @OnairwithQ Nike Anani is an entrepreneur and a Consultant. She was rated as a top-100 Family Business Consultant globally. She helps her clients bridge the gap between the senior and younger generations.

Nike Anani is a Speaker, Author, and Consultant to NextGens that seeks to lead their Family Businesses. She helps NextGens rise above operations into a non-executive board role with credibility, so that they are able to lead and formulate a plan to future-proof the business, becoming more effective change agents. Nike fuses her inside experience as a NextGen executive in her Familys Enterprise, as a Chartered Accountant, and as a Family Business Advisor to bring practical proven solutions to the table.Key interview highlights: It can be lonely in a NextGen leader in a family business if you dont have any peers in a similar position to share those particular struggles with in a what that they can really understand because they have also faced similar challenges Founders find it hard to let go and make room for NextGen leaders to make their mark on a business that the Founder started. Having a succession plan for a business is not only about the financial security of the family itself but also the employees and the ecosystem created around that business such as customers and suppliers who would lose if that business were to go under if the Founder passed and there was no succession plan in place. Succession plans take time and should be put in place as the business is being built and not at the point the Founder is ready to retire or unfortunately passes away. Succession planning is not a transaction, it's a transition. Guest Contact: Thanks for joining us for another episode of the WTF podcast.
