EOS Implementer, Family Business Succession Guide
Other than the fact that her name is a sentence (which doesn’t remotely get close to describing her typical way of walking through the world)…..
She is an Expert EOS Implementer® (trained in 2015)…..a certified coach (since 2001)…..a person who completed a masters degree in organizational leadership….the former director of a nationally recognized family business center…..and most importantly…..a HUGE fan of family businesses.
She was raised in a business family….has worked in family businesses and is on a quest to help family businesses get the help they need without a bloated time commitment or price.
If you want to implement EOS purely in your family business she is the one of you. If you want to mess around with the Accountability Chart or avoid having numbers....she will annoy you.
If you like dad-jokes (the dumber the better) she is a great fit for you and your team.
She tends to swear when she gets passionate about things like your V/TO and your legacy.
She also works with family business advisors to help them serve family businesses more powerfully. No family business wants a "yes man" advisor. Too many family businesses have too many of that kind of advisor.
Join her for the Family Business Office Hour every other Monday from 1-2pm central time. www.sarabstern.com
