Family Matters is a publication of the Delaware Valley Family Business Center, February 2020
I’m delighted to announce our 2020 Learning Community programs

Building on last year’s theme of Leaning into Crucial Conversations, this year we will focus on Building Emotional Agility. We will provide practical tools, examples, and teaching through our programs, blogs, Leadership Labs, and consulting. As a starter, each member will receive the book Emotional Agility by Susan David. For a glimpse, watch Susan’s TED talk. 

Join the conversation with us and learn how you can become more
emotionally agile and courageous so you can navigate the complexities of your 5 MOUNTAINS® with greater clarity and confidence.

Stay tuned … and join us for breakfast and learning the morning of March 20!
