The Quiet Fix: Why Better Family Communication Starts Before the Meeting Begins
Description
In this episode, Shauna Trainor, Principal at A&O Partners, invites us into the often overlooked spaces where clarity, courage, and connection shape the future of enterprising families. Drawing from her background in business, psychology, and systems thinking, Shauna helps us reframe how family conversations become the foundation for shared decision-making across generations. Shauna shares why many answers already exist within families if we're willing to slow down, ask the right questions, and listen beyond the surface. We explore how unspoken complaints often sound like blame or shame, and how reframing them into requests opens doors to empathy, understanding, and real change. Whether you’re wrestling with readiness, managing expectations, or inviting the next generation to the table, this episode offers grounding questions and practical ways to begin at your own pace, and with your values leading the way.
