Engaging our Rising Generation Family Members

• Parents and grandparents in families of wealth are often interested in ideas about how to engage children and grandchildren in their family enterprises. Some feel that their Next Geners are not truly interested in the workings of the family office, business or foundation; others may simply not know how to have the sorts of conversations and interactions they'd like to have with their offspring to uncover their interests. We have found the "Rising Generation" family members often have significant interest in deeper-dive family discussions about the meaning of their wealth in their individual and family lives, and we'd like to share with you a couple of the tools we find helpful in opening up these discussions.
