Walk a Mile in Someone Else’s Family Business Shoes

FEC invites members and guests to a high-energy, interactive workshop where you’ll “change hats” and step into someone else’s role within the family enterprise system.

You’ll be assigned to a table, given a character, and plunged into a scenario that brings the unpredictability, tension, and nuance of real-life family business dynamics to life.

With a mix of FEC family members and advisors at every table, you’ll gain fresh insight into how decisions land, how conflicts escalate or ease, and how roles shape what we see—and what we miss.

Working in small groups, you’ll explore a shared question. The goal isn’t to find “the right answer,” but to see the issue through many different eyes and perspectives.

Experienced FEAs will guide the role-play and then lead a powerful debrief, helping the whole group draw out practical lessons, surprising insights, and new ways of understanding each other in the family enterprise.
