Two-thirds of family businesses fail when they transition from the founding generation to the next.

Only 13% survive the next changeover.

" Alan has shown us positive strategies to increase our business and techniques to effectively communicate amongst ourselves and with our employees. Under his guidance I have learned to look objectively at subjective familial dynamics and accent the positive points.

Thanks to Alan our business is more profitable and I am more resilient, even-tempered and focused. I strongly recommend Alan to any business owner looking for ways to make the quality of their business lives better."
