Through her work with families, Sharon has formulated 8 principles for a values-aligned family office, and she unpacks her thinking and practical insights related to the 8 principles.

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of being joined by Laurie Reese, a Conscious Dying Coach for UHNW clients. If you don't know what this is, then tune in. It is a unique service that I think everyone should know exists. Laurie spent years working in the entertainment industry before moving into the private sector as a House Manager/PA. She then transitioned her skills and became qualified to offer a pre-, during, and post-death service. Imagine your Principal is elderly and only has a few months left. The family doesn't live close by and are very busy, so they are not around as much as they would like to be. Who is there not only to start arranging their affairs for them but also to be that companion by their side on a daily basis? Who is responsible for the aftercare, the sorting through an entire household of belongings? This companion/PA service brings the entire family a lot of comfort and support. I am really passionate about this topic. Preparing someone for their end of life is such a delicate and sensitive time, but someone like Laurie is perfectly suited to the role and can make the process so much more comfortable for all involved. Please tune in to learn so much more about what she does.

The pace, scale and sophistication of RIA marketing has accelerated into hyperspace in the last 10 years. There are new business models in wealth management and, thus, new voices and sources of trust. The speed of content creation and publishing is increasing- especially with newer artificial intelligence tools. Social media has made the scope and reach of marketing efforts enormous -- and required firms to be data scientists as much as financial advisers. Finally, where once the firm drove the branding in the RIA space, there appears to be a move back to the star system - where recognizable names create the light that attracts clients. Enter RICHARD HEFT, President of EXT MARKETING - His firm focuses on marketing for RIA's, asset managers, and other financial institutions. The development and execution of marketing strategies are accelerating well past the leadership of the typical RIA. They have to prove to the market that their inorganic growth efforts are real and sustainable in a crowded (and often bland and undifferentiated) space.

She provides valuable tips on how business interest gifts work and how families can make the most of this giving tool.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Lou Sokolovskiy, CEO and Founder of Opus Connect, a leading networking and deal-making community for private equity and M&A professionals. Lou is a serial entrepreneur with extensive private equity transaction experience. He founded multiple entrepreneurial ventures in the technology arena and has unique expertise in operations management, strategic partnerships, and new business development. He is a former consultant who has advised many companies in the healthcare management, finance, and technology industries on improving operations and corporate strategy. Lou founded Opus Connect to provide a platform for PE and M&A professionals to connect, collaborate, and succeed in their work. He talks about the opportunity – or gap – he saw in the private investing marketplace, why he created this community, and how it is creating value for different players in the private deal-making ecosystem. UHNW families and their family offices are increasingly active and sought-after participants in the private direct investing space – they are seen as patient, long-term, values-driven investors. At the same time, they often lack capabilities or create obstacles for themselves that prevent them from partaking in the most attractive deals. Lou explains why that happens and what families and family office executives can do to overcome these weaknesses and ensure they are seeing the best deals. One tip Lou has for family offices who want to be active private investors is to formalize their investment thesis and decide what they are looking for and what deals they want to see. He shares with our listeners why this is important and how family office investors should go about it. Another practical suggestion Lou offers for family office investors is to develop a strong network and functioning mechanisms to connect with external PE firms, deal sponsors, and other sources of quality deal flow in the marketplace. He explains why this is an important strategy and how do you advise family offices should best implement it. Enjoy this informative conversation with one of the leading players and community organizers in the private investing ecosystem.

George is a renowned author, international thought leader, and life planning pioneer who over the past 35 years has spearheaded the financial planning movement within the financial service industry.

Leslie, and his firm PHM, are marketing partners of FOX and valuable contributors of unique, expertise to our member community, and we are thrilled to offer their specialized knowledge and thought leadership to our members. Leslie shares his reflections, based on his decades of experience, on how UHNW clients, who ostensibly have the resources to afford any level of service and care, still find it a challenge to gain access to and receive good medical care. He also points to a unique and intriguing aspect of being a client or advisor in the family wealth space – which is that clients in this niche corner of the wealth management industry are families, and as such, they share common heritage and genetics. And that is important for families and family leaders to know as they seek to improve the collective health and well-being of their family members. Leslie offers some practical tips and suggestions for UHNW clients who are facing or dealing with a serious diagnosis, condition, or illness in the family, and provides a simple and time-tested recipe for the steps should they take and the resources they should seek out. He also has some sound advice and useful resources for families whose members are blessed with good health at present, but the family and the family leaders wish to be proactive and better prepared for all eventualities and for any medical situations or emergencies family members may face.

He explains what he means by these terms and shares his definition of a whole family advisor. Richard and his firm work with both family clients and their trusted advisors, and he talks about how this “whole family advisor” mindset impacts both sides of this professional relationship.

This week, I have the pleasure of speaking with Aggie Johnson, founder and owner of WillKate, a family enterprise consultancy firm serving the full scope of issues and challenges that families of wealth face. A G3 enterprise family member herself, Aggie knows first-hand what it takes to create and sustain a thriving family and family enterprise. Aggie shares her definition of a family enterprise and the unique challenges and opportunities enterprise families face. She describes how the complex needs of enterprise families necessitate a broader view of wealth and a multidisciplinary approach to advising and coaching their family members. She then introduces the “6-element focus,” a framework of wealth she uses in her practice with UHNW clients and explains how this multifaceted definition of wealth can help clients cultivate and strengthen their various types of family capital. One practical approach Aggie deploys with her clients is to help them discover and focus on, what she refers to, as their “central purpose.” Aggie unpacks the meaning of this concept and how families can use it to become stronger and attain their strategic goals. Another practice Aggie recommends is for family members and leaders to use introspection and working on yourself as a path to achieving greater unity, communicating and relating better, and overcoming the challenges of difficult and emotional family situations and transitions. She delves into the practical aspects of this approach, its importance, and practical applications. Please enjoy this insightful conversation with one of the highly experienced and credentialed family practitioners within the FOX community, who generously shares the lessons of her own experience as a rising gen leader of her family enterprise.
