Kristin Keffeler, a family wealth consultant, provides profound insights into the human side of wealth and family businesses, focusing on fostering human peak performance and thriving. While her own family story differs from multi-generational businesses—her entrepreneurial father successfully built, took public, and sold a company, creating wealth—her personal journey profoundly shaped her work. Navigating questions of identity, purpose, and authentic relationships in her twenties, she discovered the unique challenges faced by rising generations. Keffeler details the "clutter" (identity, relationship, money, contribution) that can uniquely challenge young family members, hindering their ability to truly flourish. She emphasizes the critical importance of cultivating character strengths like grit, mastery, unconditional positive relationships, and a growth mindset, noting that wealth, if not managed intentionally, can inadvertently buffer against their development. Her work champions an approach where family business leaders prioritize intentional parenting and authentic self-discovery to ensure future generations contribute meaningfully, find fulfillment, and drive the family enterprise forward with purpose.   Key Themes: Cultivating Human Thriving Alongside Wealth Addressing "Wealth Clutter" for Next-Gen Development Intentional Parenting to Build Character Strategic Engagement & Career Pathways for Rising Gen Connecting Individual Purpose with Organizational Values   Timestamps: 00:01 - Introduction and Welcome 01:11 - Kristin’s Work with Families and Human Thriving 03:34 - Kristin’s Family Background and Entrepreneurial Story 08:22 - Identity and Challenges Growing Up in a Wealth-Creating Family 11:17 - Cultural Difficulties Talking About Wealth 16:21 - Clutter in Family Business (Identity, Money, Relationships, Contribution) 23:14 - Discovering Identity and Autonomy in a Family Business Context 25:43 - Traits of Thriving People in Positive Psychology 29:53 - Wealth as a Buffer Against Developing Resilience 33:20 - Parenting Challenges: Teaching Grit and Growth Mindset 43:16 - Teen Jobs, Contribution, and Dignity from Work 48:48 - Connecting Family Values, Purpose, and Business Legacy Additional Resources: Kristin Keffeler, Chief Learning Officer, JFG Family Office: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-keffeler-msm-mapp-245a21/ Connect with Marshall on LinkedIn Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network
