Hello from South Africa, I’m reflecting on a family meeting I was asked to handle for the wife and adult children of a man who spent 40 years at the same firm ending as a senior partner 10 years ago and loved playing golf. In fact he shared that he’d woken that morning in a panic that he was late for his tee off time and couldn’t find his golf shoes. He had what he called a wake up call mid last week where he went into liver failure in response to a new oral chemo therapy. Reach out if you’d like more details on the structure and flow of the meeting and what I’m pondering may have enhanced my service to the family.
