We have the pleasure of inviting you to FBN Nordic Conference 2019.
How are family businesses engaging in solving the biggest future challenges such as poverty, climate changes, health problems and diseases?
And how does families make the shifttowards a more diversified owner and operational structure?
Together with other family business owners from the Nordics we will share, learn and challenge ourselves. This time in beautiful Copenhagen.
Programme:
Thursday September 26th
09.00-11.30 New Leaders Circle (NxG Only and optional)
Made by New Leaders for New Leaders, this programme offers NxG members that are cur rently embarking on leadership roles within their family business, the opportunity to partici pate in small focused peer groups tackling topics New Leaders are facing.
The aim of the peer circles is to share, in confidence, common challenges: working hard in earning a leading role in the business, building our own families and sometimes also constructing the family governance.
Via regular intimate gatherings New Leader Circle Members exchange experiences on
topics such as:
- The many ways and phases to leadership in the family and the business (How to deal with hidden expectations that will come up one day? How to build trust so family accepts us and the in-laws?How to make parents realize that it is time to step back from educating us?)
- Ownership in family settings (What can owners do and don’t regarding the business?)
- Private life for family business people (How to draw the line between private and professional life – I don’t want to take business problem home – what to do?)
Moderators: Maya Faerch, FBN Denmark and
Tamás Kürti, founder of New Leaders Circles in FBN International.
