Legacy: Navigating Family Business
Welcome to the Legacy Podcast, the podcast that delves deep into the heart of family businesses.
Join Family Business Coach & 6th Generation family business owner, Anne Bauer, as we begin to untangle the intricate web of dynamics that come with running a business with those closest to us.
Through discussions, interviews, and insights, we'll explore how focusing on the energetic structure of the family business can lead to grounded communication, clear strategies, and healing across generations, especially during times of change & transition.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to help you cultivate balanced, harmonious relationships within your family business, get clarity around what we’re really going for, and then take aligned action that honors both your business and your family legacy.
Because when we can love our work and love working with our family, there's no limit to what we can achieve.
