Tool #1: What’s Your Enough?
Customized Package:
- Includes 10 tools
- 2-hour hands-on demo session to walk you through the experience
- 2-hour personalized consultation to help you facilitate for your specific group
The antidote to a culture of ‘more, more, more’ is simply this: enough.
A powerful self-reflection and conversation starter for individuals, couples, families, or family advisors to use with clients. This tool helps you define what’s truly “enough” to be, do, and have—and use that clarity to lead with intention.
With this tool, you’ll:
- Reflect on your personal relationship with money, time, and material “things”
- Identify where you feel fulfilled—and where you may want more or less
- Build shared understanding within your family
- Start meaningful conversations that connect generations
“When we innately know we are enough at our core, we are free to pursue the highest version of ourselves and use the gifts of our enough in this lifetime.”
– Elaine Gast Fawcett
