Can you solve your own family matters/issues?
– each family‎ faces issues, financial, relationship, misunderstandings, from time to time.
– like many families the ‎conflict may bubble over for reasons not directly related to the actual issue
– we call this baggage
– how can your family work amenably through such issues?
– ignore the issue?
– argue?
– raise your voice?, or
– (best practice) try to collaborate?

What is the issue(s)?
– often identifying the “real” issue is the hardest part of addressing the issue
– ‎many families will ceaselessly argue and yet not get any closer to resolving the conflict
– they often do not deal directly with the issue and will instead address historical grievances

Why are you disagreeing?
– do you need to disagree?
– what is at stake?
– is there a winner and loser on the issue?

Do you‎ carry home baggage from the business?
‎- bad practice
– does not allow you to separate yourself from the business.

What can you do?

– can you solve the issue independently?
– if not, who can help? and how?
– seek the input of a counsellor, if the matter is serious enough

Do you need help?
– what about using a facilitator? or counsellor?
– has the issue persisted for a long time
– do the family members wish to resolve the issue? It does take 2 people to create the issue and 2 to solve that issue.

Can you make time for reflection on this soon?
