““I recently attended a Governance to Succession session with Mark, the insight and clarity of the message was really valuable and I’ve applied it to dealing with our personal family affairs. I’m one of four children with parents who are still very much fit, healthy and active but you never know when something might happen. I’ve taken the philosophy from Mark that starting the conversation early, being open, honest and transparent and understanding what page they’re on, will lead to better outcomes longer term and keep the family strong.””
