THE BIGGEST MYTH IN FAMILY BUSINESS…
“It’s not personal, it’s just business.”
Darren & Kimberley Hiebert have learned from over 45 years in family business that it is always personal. When you are afraid to be personal and vulnerable in your family business, you will destroy relationships, struggle to build a lasting and fulfilling legacy, as well as develop a toxic workplace culture.

“Darren & Kimberley are the gurus when it comes to running family businesses. As someone who runs a business with my spouse, their knowledge is invaluable in navigating the ups and downs of family business. If you are running or thinking of starting a family business this book is for you!”
