Guiding Principles and Values

I base all my interactions with families on the following principles:

Ian Macnaughton

Problem solving is a partnership.

I am more than a coach and facilitator. Think of me as a true partner and collaborator in finding solutions to the thorny relationship and emotional issues that keep families from realizing their potential.

Ian Macnaughton

Successful planning requires successful relationships.

Business strategies rarely succeed when there is conflict within the business family itself. By building good relationships together, we engender good outcomes.

Ian Macnaughton

Integrity is paramount.

Without it, all our work together is for naught. I take personal integrity very seriously and apply it to every action and every situation to maintain the highest levels of discretion and professionalism.

Here’s what families and advisors say about working with me.

"Ian was instrumental in working through a significant conflict I was having with my father regarding my purchase of his dental practice. He just wasn’t holding up his end of the bargain. With Ian’s help, my father validated my feelings and position, and we moved forward to enjoy a very successful personal and business relationship for the next ten years."
