UBC Sauder Business Families Centre launched its Back to the Classroom series with its first event, ‘Tale of the Cocktail’ on March 22, 2016 at the intimate Reflections lounge in the Rosewood Hotel Georgia.
In addition to the Business Families Centre’s catalogue of educational programs for business families and the professionals who work with them, the BFC has extensive experience in creating custom programming for individual families, trade associations, and financial services organizations.
As part of UBC’s Sauder School of Business, the Business Families Centre is backed by one of the most respected, cited, and authoritative business schools in the world. Since 1969, Sauder’s Executive Education has delivered programs designed to make a real difference in the way individuals do business.
In this course, family business participants examine the importance of cultivating their own emotional intelligence (EQ) to achieve greater business success. While the course focuses primarily on next-generation successors, it also provides elders with an opportunity to explore their own experiences in order to help sustain healthy family business relationships, especially during transition periods from one generation to the next.
