    Building an Intentional Community for People with IDD with Debbie Bond Dear and Whitney Dear-Reyes

    Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Debbie Bond Dear and Whitney Dear-Reyes. Debbie is the Founder & Executive Director of Vanguard Landing, a purpose-planned community designed to offer a safe, intentional, interactive, and inclusive community where persons with intellectual and developmental differences can thrive and achieve their life’s full potential. Whitney is Board Chair of Vanguard Landing and serves as the organization’s Development and Resource Director. First, Debbie and Whitney orient our listeners to the basics of this very important topic. They define the term “intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD)”, describing what conditions fall within this umbrella label, and what are the most common challenges faced by people living with IDD. IDDs most commonly have a very early onset, affecting children from a very young age. Debbie and Whitney talk about the challenges faced by children with IDD and their parents, while also covering some of the opportunities that perhaps today largely remain unrealized. Debbie and Whitney describe the vision and objectives of Vanguard Landing and what they are looking to achieve with this ambitious project and how they plan to realize these goals. They also share their thoughts on how others can get involved with this noble cause – what businesses, families of means, philanthropies, and other organizations need to know or do to help and contribute to the wellbeing of people with IDD. Please take a close listen to this impactful and important conversation with two of the leading innovators and visionaries in the sphere of helping people with IDDs lead a full life.

He helps our audience understand what is considered a top-notch client offering and service – what does good look like – in this unique market niche.

He gives us an overview of the Nines platform, describing its key functionalities and the main problems it solves for families, family offices, and estate manages.

    Attracting and Retaining Top Family Office Leadership Talent with Brian Adams

    Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Brian Adams, Partner at Mack International, where he specializes in C-suite executive search and human capital consulting for family offices and enterprises. Brian serves on the board of Sirrom Partners LP, a single-family office, and is the host of the Mack Podcast, which provides expert insights for family office professionals. Alongside his family office expertise, Brian co-founded two real estate private equity firms and was a former practicing attorney. Mack International is a former long-time member of FOX. Talent – especially top leadership talent – continues to be among the top evergreen needs of enterprise families and their family offices. We begin with Brian’s insights on talent search for family offices. He paints the picture of the current landscape for identifying and attracting leadership talent to SFOs and covers the most prominent trends he sees in the marketplace. Another persistent challenge for family offices is holding on to the top talent they have – especially, since most SFOs tend to be small, flat organizations without much of a career path or growth options for their key people. Brian shares his view on the key talent retention strategies and tools utilized by family offices and how they have evolved over time. An interesting, and somewhat counterintuitive, consideration family offices face when they think about attracting and retaining talent is their location strategy. Brian talks about why and how the choice of where the office is located can have a significant practical impact on SFOs’ ability to recruit and engage their key people. Another practical tool that families and family offices have at their disposal – yet don’t always deploy fully in their talent management strategy – is their values, governance, and mission. Brian describes how these foundational elements of governance and collective decision-making that families establish and follow come into play when it comes to recruiting and retaining top talent. Don’t miss this highly insightful conversation with one of the top executive recruiting firms serving the family office space.

Craig offers his tips on how professionals and clients can best manage the “generational tug of war” caused by their different values and preferences.
