About this webinar

The hardest conversations in your business aren’t about the work. They’re about the people.

When your family is your business, the line between personal and professional disappears.

Conversations don’t stay in the office.
Decisions aren’t always objective.
And growth can stall under the weight of unspoken expectations.

Join industry leaders Andrea Lovell (Co-Owner, Heron Plumbing) and Amy Carnrick (former CEO, Foster Plumbing) for an honest, practical discussion on how to run a family business like a business – without breaking the relationships that built it.

What you'll learn

  • How to separate family roles from business decisions
  • Why merit-based systems matter more than legacy
  • Practical ways to de-escalate conflict before it gets personal
  • How to document processes so the business isn’t stuck in people’s heads
