Intergenerational coaching for succession planning How to ensure your children are ready to maintain and grow your family's wealth Succession planning has long been a sensitive issue among Asia’s wealthy families. Research by Harvard Business Review and others indicates five main reasons for this. LACK OF COMMUNICATION Younger generations tend to be excluded from succession planning. It can be difficult for them to start such a conversation. LACK OF EMPOWERMENT Inflexible rules can be off-putting. Less than 40% of Asia’s next generation wealthy want to take over the family business. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE Family firms are usually established in an unstructured way, often to include family members in the management of the family wealth. However, the resulting lack of expertise, vision, resources, governance, management, and improper succession planning often makes this setup ineffective and unsustainable. DIFFERENT GOALS FOR MANAGING WEALTH Older generations tend to wish to preserve wealth, younger generations grow it. In a family office context, this can be a source of tension because of these conflicting mindsets. CULTURAL SHACKLES Older generations often put off discussing succession planning with their children. This may be because of discomfort with the topic itself, to avoid sparking a feeling of entitlement, or other reasons. Help your children understand their strengths & weaknesses “My children are not like me. They lack in some areas where I am strong, but they have talents in other areas. Do they even wish to take over the family business? Are they ready, if they do?” To resolve these questions, you must understand your children better than ever before You need to understand their way of thinking, their investment objectives and their mindsets better than they themselves. To do so, you need to get under their skin. But how? This is where a CliftonStrengths® assessment comes in. Formerly known as Gallup StrengthsFinder, CliftonStrengths® has helped more than 25 million people play to their strengths. CliftonStrengths® does so by helping the individual understand their intrinsic thought processes, and boost what they are already good at to near-perfect performance. At the same time, parents are able to understand and play to the children's inherent motivations, and deal with unspoken biases. Steps to Succession Planning Our workshops and MasterClasses are: Self-Awareness Reflect on your own strengths and your drive to succeed. Contemplate the inherent strengths which helped you achieve your goals and grow your family’s wealth. Understanding Gain insights into your children’s motivations, their strengths and their weaknesses. Spot where they act based on your upbringing and nurturing, and where they are naturally endowed with other talents. Planning Identify topics you wish to discuss and the agreement you seek. Action Work through more difficult topics with the help and support of one of our coaches and counsellors. How it works 1 ASSESSMENT Parents and children take the CliftonStrengths® assessment. 2 CONSULTATION We meet parents and children separately to walk through their respective CliftonStrengths® assessments. This may take several rounds. The other’s CliftonStrengths® reports are shared with permission only. 3 COACHING Parents and children are brought together in one or more coaching sessions to share and discuss the details of their CliftonStrengths® reports. Meetings can take place in-person or virtually. 4 COLLABORATION Parents and children are now brought together with their Relationship Manager to discuss concrete steps to formulate a succession plan for the family office. NEXT Help your children understand their strengths & weakness “My children and I have a clearer view of our strengths and weaknesses. We understand each other better and have resolved past tensions. We have been able to address previously unspoken topics, including succession planning.” Contact Us For further information: Mark Laudi mark.laudi@hongbaomedia.com (+65) 901 7 3534 138 Robinson Road #21-02 Oxley Tower Singapore 068906

Couple coaching, powered by CliftonStrengths® Introduction So, you've met someone on Tinder. Or on a blind date. Or at Lunch Actually. How can you quickly tell whether you and your new partner are compatible? There are two ways: Go on a dozen dates, spend thousands on coffee and dinners, and find out after six months that the other person has traits and quirks that really annoy you, or Take the assessment at HealthyRelationships.coach. This shows you where you and your new partner have common ground and complementary personality traits, but also potential conflict zones. Outcomes For example, one of you might prefer to spend lots of quality time together, while the other prefers an active social life. One of you might prefer to think things through deeply, while the other leaps into action. One of you might be future focused while the other prefers to live in the moment, or even spends much time going to museums and reflecting on the past. One of you might make detailed plans while the other prefers to go with the flow. One of you might be trusting and gregarious, while the other is cautious and reserved.
