Upcoming Events

Please note: we will be updating the following events with details as we receive them, so save the dates and check back in due course.

Whether you're looking to transition ownership, scale your business, or refine your long-term strategy, you need clarity and direction to move forward with confidence. 

Our BLUEPRINT Institute is designed for companies in rapid growth to help define market position, sharpen strategy and develop a clear, actionable plan for continued success.

Learn how to make the most of your Goering Center membership and be sure to bring along key employees and/or any family members working in the business. This 90-minute program is more than an orientation to the Center and its core offerings, it is your opportunity to meet other new members, build your network, and become part of our business community.

When you are leading a family or private business, the pressures and concerns that you shoulder are heavy, and so much is riding on how well you manage that load. Your work life impacts your home life, and your home life impacts your work life, too. All of it affects your health — your physical well-being, and the health of your company’s bottom line. 

Our Roundtables provide an opportunity for collaborative peer sharing about strategic and tactical business issues, within the larger context of your personal and family concerns. Consider this your very own board of advisors, whose number-one goal is to help you restore balance.

Come learn more about this program series, which starts July 29, that is designed to equip you with the methods, messaging, tools and confidence you need to negotiate from a position of power and strength. 

The Pricing Power Virtual Series will equip participants with advanced knowledge and strategies in strategic pricing.  

Throughout the course, participants will explore essential concepts such as value-based pricing models, competitive pricing analysis, and the psychological aspects influencing pricing decisions.

In today's evolving workplace, employee wellbeing is more than a perk—it's a strategic imperative. Join us for a candid and practical luncheon focused on how family and private businesses can build healthier, more engaged workplaces through intentional strategies that support physical, mental, emotional, and organizational health.

Led by Jessica Morris, this session is grounded in a framework that includes leadership modeling, psychological safety, flexible structures, and peer support. Jessica will explore the systemic levers businesses can pull to create lasting impact.

Most pricing decisions are made from fear, not from confidence.  Most sellers don’t price to win business; they price not to lose. Join us this August for a five-part Pricing Power Series that will arm you with the methods, messaging, tools, and confidence to negotiate from a position of power and strength.

The Overview is an opportunity to understand how Financial Fluency can help deliver high-impact results for your business.

Participants learn to accurately read and interpret their financial statements, so they can ask relevant questions regarding that information and forecast easy or challenging financial times. Leaders will see the important connection between company activities, responsibilities, and financial results.

This live, interactive session will introduce you to the Next Generation Institute (NGI)™ - a proven roadmap to help family business leaders like you align, prepare and successfully pass the torch to the next generation. You'll hear firsthand from a business leader who has been through the program and transformed their family's transition journey.

You can lead a company without developing financial acumen, but not successfully (or for very long!). Too often, next-generation successors are either completely left out of, or are overwhelmed by, financial conversations. Now I Get It! empowers emerging leaders to understand their company’s financial data, giving them the confidence to engage in conversation and make better business decisions.

Whether you're looking to transition ownership, scale your business, or refine your long-term strategy, you need clarity and direction to move forward with confidence.
