Description:
A study conducted by Arthur Andersen/MassMutual cited the critical importance that trusted advisors play in family business planning: 84.6% named their professional advisor (accountant, lawyers, bankers, etc) as the first, second, or third most trusted business alliance. The Vermont Family Business Initiative will be hosting a unique workshop specifically for advisors of family or closely held firms. Kenneth Kaye, an international leader in the field of family business dynamics, will be leading this two-hour session. “Building and Maintaining Trust Between Family Firms and Advisors” is designed to help you better understand the role that trust plays in working with these firms.
The role of professional advisors has changed over the years. Today's advisors must learn to build stronger relationships based not only on professional knowledge, but also on trust and long term relationships. Being a valued advisor to navigate a family business through the complex waters of conflict, transition and succession requires a high level of trust. This workshop provides specific, actionable ideas and skills to help advisors from all professional services operate successfully as a trusted advisor to a family or closely held businesses. Dr. Kaye will detail the Conflict Resolution System (from his book "Workplace Wars and How to End Them"), as well as proven effective steps to building a process of trust between advisors and businesses.

Notice to Trainees
WHY WE NEED YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
Act 192 of the 2008 Vermont Legislature requires employers and other training providers receiving support from the state to provide the social security number of each individual participating in the training to the department of state government supporting the training. The social security number will be used to gather wage information from the Department of Labor's files after you complete training, in order to evaluate the training program.
The Departments of Labor and Economic Development must provide information on the employment outcomes of training programs to the Legislature. Your information will be combined with information of other trainees to ensure your privacy and the privacy of your employer. The law requires the departments to keep your information confidential.
