The Engagement Toolkit Training

Governance + Engagement

Owners and advisors learn how to build governance that is reflective of the family business’s Shared Purpose, Core Capital, and Vision.

You will learn why enacting governance, making major financial decisions, and creating legal structures without engagement leads to conflict.

You will learn how to develop the skills and processes that can align Vision, strategy, and governance for both the family and the business.

The Engagement Toolkit provides a clear process and bespoke materials to help guide owners of family businesses toward engagement, a Shared Purpose and Vision, and effective governance that is reflective of their circumstances.

Owners and their families work directly with Engaged Ownership through tailored remote or in-person sessions.

Scheduling an Engagement Toolkit training

The Toolkit training is conducted as a 1-day, in-person session or via video conferencing. To schedule a training session or inquire about availability, please reach out to Nathaniel Squires though Nathaniel@EngagedOwnership.com.


This was a truly informative and insightful class. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a family business or office, plans to create a family office, is thinking about succession issues within his or her family, or is advising families.
