CASE STUDIES

THE CHALLENGE

How to guide  the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation in its transition to a new generation of board leadership?

THE STORY

Over a six-year coaching engagement, we provided a trusted sounding board for the Foundation President as she and the organization explored how to:

• Support generational succession
• Manage generational tensions
• Build trust across different branches of the family
• Negotiate tricky family tensions
• Build buy-in for change
• Manage internal staff tensions
• Find the optimal pace for equity conversations 

THE OUTCOME

“Greg is a gifted coach who has helped staff with team dynamics, and me with executive issues.  His mediation, negotiation, coaching and facilitation skills are interwoven with keen emotional intelligence and deep warmth and caring that leave us feeling held and supported through all sorts of complex and challenging matters.”
