Family Business Retreat

Spend three days working "on your business" instead of "in your business."

Solidify the Direction of Your Family Business

Understanding family business dynamics is vital. When your family faces personal emotions, unresolved past conflicts, or other family-related issues which impact your business, you need skills to address conflict before and as it arises.

 

Our family business retreats are designed to equip you with tools to help maintain family unity and cohesion. This immersive experience encourages family business owners to identify and address key challenges such as:

  • managing expectations
  • resolving conflicts
  • enhancing communication
  • fostering family unity
 
Through a blend of large group sessions led by nationally recognized consultants and personalized family time with individual facilitators, you'll gain valuable insights and tools to navigate the complexities of family business dynamics. 

Next Retreat: Summer 2027

Multifaceted development, construction family business takes steps toward generational transition

Our family went into the 2025 retreat with some trepidation of what to expect. We came away feeling connected and closer as a family.

Most beneficial was the direction – it was a springboard for us to begin the transition process from Gen 1 to Gen 2. The program was excellent, and the facilitators were professional, knowledgeable, fun, friendly and helpful. We are grateful to the PFBA for putting together an excellent personal & business retreat.

The 2025 Retreat was an exceptional experience that combined a beautiful, private setting with thoughtful structure and meaningful facilitation.

The retreat provided the space and support we needed to tackle tough conversations with clarity and respect. Our facilitator was the perfect fit for our family. She is highly skilled and took the time to understand the dynamics of our family and business. We will continue to work with our facilitator for implementation and accountability. Thank you, PFBA, for another great resource and event!

"It is so easy to get "in your head" when it's time to face the hard realities of what your family business needs to stay sustainable in the future.

The PFBA moderators/facilitators make it so comfortable and safe to take those ideas out of your head and lay them on the table. From there, a plan takes a solid form and moving forward becomes possible."
