Family Business Primer

Family businesses and the generational legacy they carry are essential to the way we function. Managing a family business includes managing what the business needs to thrive, managing what the family needs/ wants as a whole, and managing what each individual family member needs/ wants to thrive (it's like three full-time jobs). You may be a problem solver but this three-way dilemma is an ongoing issue that you have to deal with on a daily basis. Let those who've dealt with it and succeeded help you do the same.

About Masters Series by WeTeachMe

At WeTeachMe, we believe that learning should be inspired and impassioned, and run by the people for the people.

In 2016, WeTeachMe officially became the biggest school in Australia, one giant leap towards our fundamental goal of becoming the biggest school in the world. To achieve this, we create tools that empower thought-leaders and everyday people in all corners of the globe to share knowledge and make it easier for teachers and learners to connect. Our goal is to spark curiosity.

In accordance with this purpose, we have formed a new creative program to help us spread our message. Masters Series by WeTeachMe is where we help share the gifts, knowledge, and experiences of those who have achieved the unimaginable in their life, risen above all odds and have persevered where others could not.

It is on this stage that we elevate and celebrate the curious, and where we invite the best and the brightest, the industry movers and shakers, the well-known and the influential to share their learnings and experiences because their stories are important. From creating thriving companies to challenging what humanity is capable of, we invite you to join us in celebrating the curious amongst us. At WeTeachMe, we believe that it is the curious who change the world.
