Speaker of the day, Stefan Voswinkel, gave an enlightening insight regarding mentoring in the family business to assist with passing on a business generation to generation. Some of the points he made were as follows:
- -As a Yukoner, Stefan would like to see more business and less government job reliance. 6500 govt. employees in Yukon's workforce..
- Mediation is science, and art.
- -It is a volunteer relationship between the mentor and mentee to learn behavioral process,through discussion, preferably face to face.
- -Harvesting happiness is the hopeful outcome; in family, self, business and salary.
- -Of 100 businesses, 30 will make a go of it to the 2nd generation. That passing the torch to the next generation is successful in 10% of those; and 3% make it to the 4th generation.
