In November 2023 I was certified as a Women Owned Business by WeConnect International weconnectinternational.org . I was first introduced to WEConnect by the BDC  BDC – The Bank for Canadian Entrepreneurs | BDC.ca .
I have worked with the BDC and have been a client of them for many years. When they suggested I look into it, I jumped.

The first thing I bring up with any new client is that it all starts with communication, and it is not just about the words. There are so many elements of communication, it is the lifeblood of relationships—both personal and professional. Yet, despite its importance, we often struggle to communicate effectively. Let’s look into it a bit more.

Succession, or transition whatever you want to call it, is a critical aspect of family-run businesses that is often more complex in practice than in theory. It’s a process that requires careful planning, open and honest communication, and a delicate balance between business needs and family dynamics.

Communication is essential and all around us. It is at work, at home, with friends and strangers, it is the foundation for success in all relationships and nearly every aspect of life. Yet, despite our constant communication, we often struggle to do it effectively, especially with those closest to us. Why is it so hard?
