Negotiation doesn’t have to feel uncomfortable—or one-sided. Whether you’re talking with suppliers, customers, or even family members, your ability to negotiate effectively can mean the difference between leaving value on the table and building lasting success.

Join us for a powerful workshop with Dr. Laurens Steed and discover the strategies, tactics, and confidence you need to take control of the conversation and get better results every time.

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.

Join us for a thought-provoking luncheon with Jonathan Adams, President of SALIX Data, as he shares a practical roadmap for bringing AI into your company’s strategic plan. Jonathan will help demystify what AI really means for family and private businesses today, outlining how to define success, avoid common pitfalls, and identify where these tools can create true operational advantage.

The Next Generation Institute (NGI)® is for owners and leaders of family businesses, their successors, and other family members who may or may not work in or have ownership interest in the business. The program shines a light on the issues that most do not anticipate in a caring, supportive environment, while equipping the family to take action when they decide the time is right.

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.

Whether you're an emerging leader eager to strengthen your skills, or a business owner looking to develop your next generation of leaders, this complimentary session is the perfect place to start. 

Join us for a live overview of the Goering Center's Leadership Development Institute™ (LDI) — an engaging, interactive program that helps leaders at every level grow in confidence, communication and impact.
