presented by Dr. Deb Houden, Wisconsin School of Business Family Business Center Director

We all make choices; we read, study, participate, and educate for the betterment of our company, our family, and ourselves. We are aware of the direct outcomes of the choices we make almost immediately. But what about the unintended consequences of those same choices?

There are always unintended consequences of our actions (or reactions).

What happens when we choose to communicate effectively? What happens when we choose to forgive? What happens when we choose to take time to work on the company instead of in the company? What happens when we choose to remember the past and act on it, instead of repeating the same mistakes we made, our parents made, our grandparents made? What happens when we start with ourselves?

This interactive session explores the unintended consequences of the choices we make, from communication to forgiveness to next generation education on our leadership, bottom line, and family relationships. When we start with ourselves, amazing things can happen.
