Family Business Problems

A conflict in your family owned business is very complicated because people's business lives and personal lives are at risk. A dispute affects the entire family. Legal problems can break the trust between family members. Conflict around roles and responsibilities can leave lasting divides.

I help mend the relationship between the parties and break the impasse so that you can move forward and refocus.

As a Certified Management Consultant I appreciate your business issues, my twenty years in executive recruitment allows me to understand each person's role and responsibilities, my personal style provides each individual the opportunity to be heard.

In some situations other family members may not want to discuss the problem or they may not agree that there  is a problem.  In these situations a one hour private telephone consultation with you can help clarify the situation and help you identify the steps you need to take.

Just call me, Michael Marmur, on 416-410-3311 for a confidential discussion about your issues. Or write to me.

Or read what a recent client wrote following our first in-person meeting:

"Hi Michael,

After our telephone conversation today, I felt even more that I (we) am truly on my way to a resolution and soon. Anyone who has had the good fortune to take a chance with you should be grateful. Thanks for beaming some light into me and my family's heart. Mushy, so what.  I said it because I meant it. I sent my brother an email with a link to your site.

I mentioned that I also gave him a fair hearing by reading you his emails with my responses. I'm going to have some back and forth with them in the next few days. Maybe some additional mediation with family members is forthcoming, maybe not.

Anyway if you could book 30 minutes for me on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, I would like to meet in person, and just let me know. I just don't want to take a chance by delaying. Thanks - Bill"

And here is a recent note from Bill after his issue was resolved:

"Hey Michael, I'm quite happy that your initiative to share my correspondence will have the opportunity to reach those struggling as I once was. Moving forward, whenever I encounter new life challenges I get so full of confidence because of the perspectives you shared with me, divorced from the result - which was fantastic. All the best - Bill
