Building Character

Article by Jeff Savlov about raising children under five in the midst of affluence.

Jeff Savlov was instrumental in getting our family to sit down and to examine what is most important to us in terms of family values, especially in the financial realm. The hours we spent with Jeff, and individually, expressing what was important to our family and what kind of a legacy we wanted to leave was an enriching experience for our family. We would recommend Jeff’s services to any family that is ready to take their communication and family management to the next level.

Jeff’s presentation creatively addressed issues and themes that our members routinely encounter in the estate planning practices. The manner in which he presented the material brought to life and elucidated recurring dynamics of family-owned businesses. His presentation was among the most interactive and participatory of continuing education sessions we’ve hosted in recent years.

I have known Jeff Savlov for years, and have high regard for him as a family business consultant. I hired him to speak on the topic of Siblings In The Family Business: Love, Hate And Profitability. His material was insightful, and made sense to the audience of many family businesses from a wide assortment of industries. His intelligence, humor and ability to connect the dots makes him a very effective teacher and guide.
