The details

The programme

 

Amplify is a fun, thoughtful, connecting space to learn, share, and develop skills for future success and impact. Through peer-to-peer learning, focused development sessions, and access to mentorship and family business experts, participants can explore direction and purpose while fostering lifelong connections among NextGens.

We understand the unique conditions and responsibilities of those born into successful family enterprises and seek to support NextGens to confidently advance and thrive within their family context, businesses, and beyond.

A few extra bits

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any additional questions, please send us an email

How does this differ from other NextGen networks or Forums I belong to?
This programme is a more intensive, developmental experience than a forum, or one-off network events. This naturally requires a higher level of commitment and input for a sustained period of time in order to realize full value. This programme can be additive to your participation in a self-led forum or attendance to NextGen network events, and is aimed at those really looking to be intentional and focussed as they consider the next phase of their lives and their relationship to and with their family’s endeavors.
Where is this programme based?
This programme is UK based, although can accept participants from outside of the UK, as long as they are able to attend the UK located sessions.
Would there be siblings or other family members in the same cohort?
Where possible we would ensure that family members are in different cohort groups. This helps to aid confidentiality and trust within a group, and create space for each family member to connect, share and make sense of their journey without the pressure or influence of other family members present.
What happens after the programme is finished?
This programme is an initial 12-month programme. At the end of the 12 months, the groups will decide if they would like to continue a self-led / less supported process together, enabling them to continue the work they have started on themselves and with each other's support. Guidance on effectively doing this will be provided, with resources and support available as needed.
How is my family business involved with the programme?
Throughout the programme there will be opportunities to connect back to your own family and family businesses as you experiment, explore and ask questions to aid your experience, as well as being able to tap into the experiences and connections to other participating family businesses where appropriate.
