A complete agenda, worksheet, and conversation framework for calm, productive family meetings about money and expectations.
Description:
The kitchen-table conversation that happens by accident almost never goes well. Someone brings something up between bites. Someone gets defensive. Within fifteen minutes, you're talking about something nobody planned to discuss.
A family meeting is the opposite of that. Scheduled. Agenda-driven. Ends with decisions written down. It sounds formal because it is — and the formality is the point. The structure is what makes the conversation possible.
For families that have been having the same fight in the kitchen for too long.
What's Inside:
- When to call a family meeting — and when not to
- Who belongs at the table, and who doesn't
- How to call the meeting without producing dread
- The complete six-part agenda — frame, current picture, perspectives, proposals, decisions, close
- How to handle defensiveness, shutdowns, and cross-table arguments
- When to bring in a third party
- Three worksheets: the Meeting Agenda, the Decisions Summary, and Personal Pre-Meeting Prep
Sit down on purpose.
