Better Conversations
Stronger Families, Thriving Businesses.
A better Way To Have Tough Conversations
When values and expectations are clear, our families and businesses can flourish. We work with families to have the tough conversations that come with being in business together. With an understanding of expectations and pathways everyone can feel confident, understood and secure about the future.
Meet Annabel
“Living and growing my family on a farm with three generations has given me deep love for the people of Australian agriculture. I get the challenges rural small and family businesses face. It is my privilege to guide families and teams through tough conversations towards solutions they feel ownership over.”
Annabel is a qualified mediator and facilitator based in Central West NSW. She draws on a board range of professional and personal experience including over a decade working with families and communities in various settings.
Services
Family Business Workshops
Early conversations about values, pathways and expectations set everyone up for success.
In family workshops Annabel works with all family members to generate a shared vision and create clarity well before traditional “succession” conversations start.
Mediation and Conflict Resolution
When conversations become conflicts sometimes a more formal approach is needed. Mediation is appropriate when there is a desire to resolve a conflict without resorting to court based processes.
Annabel is an accredited mediator with the Resolution Institute and facilitates formal mediations in accordance with the Australian Mediation and Dispute Resolution Accreditation Standards.
