Brooks Executive Roundtables
Stimulating conversations with family business leaders
Take your seat at an extraordinary table A small, supportive group of experienced family business leaders is what you’ll find at every Brooks Executive Roundtable. Take this opportunity to discuss challenges and practical solutions with your professional peers — people who experience the same pressures and challenges that you face every day. Learn from the expertise of John Brooks and other professionals with years of experience meeting the needs of family business clients.
A small group of peers — a big professional help Several times over the course of a year, spend part of your day engaged in rigorous discussion of family business challenges, and learn how others have addressed them. Exchange ideas with owners and leaders of non-competitive companies. Gain insight into the different perspectives of owners, executives or family members. It’s likely you’ll develop lasting relationships with Roundtable participants — you may even have one of them serve as an advisor or board member for your business.
Thoughtful counsel perfectly suited to family business These are topics you know well, because they are nearly exclusive to familyowned business. We cover issues like management succession, ownership transitions, governance and board development. We look at issues around family employment, estate planning, family councils and advisory boards. You’ll learn how to improve communications within the family and balance the often-conflicting demands of business and family.
Judge by results — just like past participants have done Without exception, Roundtable participants quickly discover real benefits for their business. One first-generation CEO described his experience as “…one of the most valuable resources I have found in the family business consulting field.” A second-generation CEO of another business said, “…the quality level of the experts was very high.” The CEO of a $10 million retail business described his experience as “invaluable to our family,” while another said, “the time invested to help (us) understand the issues has paid big dividends.”
Top flight credentials and a family business perspective John Brooks offers a lifetime of experience — literally. In addition to consulting with family businesses for over 15 years, he is a third-generation shareholder of two businesses with combined revenues of over $500 million. He brings the perspective of years of management experience at Fortune 100 companies and extensive service on business and non-profit boards, typically in leadership positions. He fully understands the challenges of running a successful business while simultaneously meeting the needs of the family.
