DESCRIPTION
Coach Approach Rural provides to the development and execution of succession plans; independent facilitation, over 330 years of rural experiences and professional relationship skills. We cover where and how to start, how to maintain momentum, and collaboration with your team of professionals.

No family situation or solution is the same. Each family is unique due to differences in family culture and individual family members’ needs, aspirations and goals. Family harmony and unity is often the core outcome required.

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
Since 2009, Coach Approach Rural has been working with rural families to transition from the current generation to future generations. This experience has identified key components of best practice as;

• Having sound family relationships – confirming/achieving this before proceeding
• Begin with the end in mind – to navigate your journey you need to first be clear on the destination
• Shared understanding – family appreciation of what is important to each other and why
• Develop options – utilisation of your professional team to uncover the preferred pathway(s)
• Formalised written plan – documenting key information, actions and accountability steps
• Regular review – to celebrate successes, identify changes and to adapt the plan as needed.

The facilitation includes one on one coaching with parents and the children (and their partners) to lead them to be clearer on what they want to have and be doing into the next phases of their lives. With consent this information is shared and a family conference is facilitated – the outcomes include clarity of vision for the family and the start of a succession plan document that becomes the driver of ongoing actions.

Existing professional advisors are collaborated with to ensure their required areas of expertise contribute to the components of achieving the best pathway to the family vision.

Outcomes experienced can include family unity, happier family interactions, financial security, fairness, de-stress (from knowing what to do and when), better solutions anchored to a common family vision and goals, harnessing of unique talents and different cultures, greater support of others for where they want to be and transition of heritage and legacies.

DURATION
