Work with me
Family alignment and an adviser team that talks.
You already have capable advisers. What’s often missing is someone to bring your family onto the same page and keep your advisers working as one team. That’s my role.
Who it’s for
For business owners who have quietly become the system.
01
You hold the context
You remember why the last decision was made, who needs to be told next, and what is still waiting on someone else.
02
Your advisers don’t talk
Each adviser does good work in their own lane. The gaps between them, and the follow-up, land back on your desk.
03
The family conversation keeps waiting
Plans for inheritance, succession and legacy keep getting put off, because there’s never a good time to start.
01
Family Council Facilitation
A family council is a regular, structured meeting where your family talks openly about vision, values and legacy.
Drawing on my executive coaching background, I prepare and facilitate these meetings so everyone is heard, tough topics are raised early, and decisions are recorded and followed through. The aim is alignment before issues turn into conflict.
02
Adviser Orchestration & Project Management
Your accountant, lawyer, financial planner and broker are often all doing good work. But they work in separate lanes, and the owner ends up chasing hand-offs and re-explaining decisions.
Drawing on my financial planning experience, I project manage your existing advisers: briefing them on what’s changed in your family and business, tracking requests between them, and following up so decisions never stall. Your advisers keep giving the advice. I keep it moving, and in step with your family’s direction.
03
Executive Coaching & Leadership Masterclasses
I’ve coached executives and business owners for more than a decade, including as a Founding Member of the Maxwell Leadership Team.
Today I work one-to-one with business owners and leaders, and run leadership masterclasses for teams. It’s a natural pathway for owners preparing a successor, or building their own leadership capacity so the business relies less on them.
04
Keynote Speaking
I speak to conferences, industry events and business groups about family alignment, adviser coordination and leadership, drawing on real situations business owners will recognise.
Keynote and masterclass topics include:
- Discovering your Leadership Signature
- The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth (by Dr John C. Maxwell)
- Overcoming Busyness
“Ivan Ang spoke to the Sydney Professional Forum in January ’15… He shared a fantastic model to help the participants discover their own ‘Leadership Signature’… I would highly recommend Ivan as a guest speaker to an audience of business leaders and executives.”
— Jeffery Wang, Account Manager, CyberCX
To discuss a speaking engagement, book a Power Chat (opens in a new tab).
How it starts
Calm, deliberate and confidential.
Step 1: Talk
A Power Chat about your family, your advisers and what you’d like to stop carrying.
Step 2: Map
We map your family’s goals, your advisers and the decisions in flight, and where each one depends on you.
Step 3: Align
Family council meetings build a shared vision, values and priorities.
Step 4: Orchestrate
I project manage your advisers so their work stays in sync with that direction.
To be clear
What this work is, and isn’t.
Alongside your advisers
Not financial advice
I don’t provide financial, legal or tax advice. That comes from your appropriately licensed advisers.
Your decisions
Not a replacement for you
Your family sets the direction and makes the decisions. I facilitate and coordinate.
Built around you
Not a template
Every family is different. The work starts from how yours actually runs today.
