I believe that it is insufficient to focus on protecting the future of your family enterprise; focus instead on creating the family enterprise of the future. In the book, I explore how to take your family enterprise from lifetime to legacy.
I go deep on how families can better connect, collaborate and create to encourage diversity of thought to co-create the businesses of the future. I clarify, simplify and demystify the world that is family business, particularly from an African perspective.

Business owners looking to transition
Next-generation members who are grappling with championing change
Non-family staff seeking to make greater impact

In this episode, I share more about my newly released book, Lifetime to Legacy. I believe that it is insufficient to focus on protecting the future of your family enterprise; focus instead on creating the family enterprise of the future. In the book, I explore how to take your family enterprise from lifetime to legacy.
I go deep on how families can better connect, collaborate and create to encourage diversity of thought to co-create the businesses of the future. I clarify, simplify and demystify the world that is family business, particularly from an African perspective.
Lifetime to Legacy will provide immense value to:
Business owners looking to transition
Next-generation members who are grappling with championing change
Non-family staff seeking to make greater impact

transaction. To them, it is an emotionally fraught period of transition, filled with unexpected highs and lows, with no clear vision of what waits at the end for them and their family.

I’m Séverine Naessens. An adventurous soul that’s always looking for new experiences. I moved to Cancún, Mexico at the age of 24. I was tired of my day-to-day life in Belgium. I turned down an amazing job offer at a large international company in Brussels because I was craving an adventure.
I was a workaholic trying to take good care of my baby daughter AND trying to keep my marriage alive, was a recipe for disaster.
I was longing for peace, for clarity, and for strength. I wanted to be a businesswoman, wife and mother at the same time. Deep down inside I knew I was able to pull this off. All I needed was to find my power, strength and bring back my joy in being a successful businesswoman and a loving mother.
I made a career shift and started working in a company where I learned about psychology and mindset. This was the first step to realizing that I was the problem, instead of the outside factors in my current life. And thus my real journey began…
I gave myself permission to open up, give love and marriage a second chance.
My obsession for communication led me to improve my relationships, businesses and being a better person in general. All the tools that I teach are the ones I implement daily in my own life.
I’m here for you. Let’s set up a call so I may learn more about your situation. I’ll help you clarify what is happening and suggest an actionable strategy for healing your family, tailored to the ages of your children.

Whenever I mention the phrase "Stepping Out Of The Shadow" to a NextGen, it usually evokes something emotive. It resonates with those that feel that they haven’t reached their fullest capacity and there’s something or someone in the way of that. I believe we have all been called to step out of the shadow to be all that we are called to be. Sometimes that shadow is a NowGen, sometimes that shadow is an outdated mindset, sometimes that shadow is our projected self and not an authentic self, sometimes that shadow is an ego.
How can you step out of the shadow?
In the last week, Nigerian millennials and GEN Zs have come together to protest against great human rights violations, widespread police brutality. It feels like the fight of our lifetime to free our children from the shackles of colonialism and military oppression. Though technically speaking, Nigeria became independent in 1960 and evolved into a democracy in 1999, the legacy of these oppressive, exploitative regimes runs deep.
As the next generation, we have to be prepared to get our shovels out in unearthing systemic rot cemented in our social, economic and political systems, keeping our eyes focused on the goal ie to free our children from such a crippling system, to create a better world for them.
We have the opportunity of a lifetime so that our kids are enabled to be solutions-bringers to the world: that teach the world something unique Africa has to offer, rather than being perpetual importers and dependents on the rest of the world's capital, culture, knowledge and solutions. Let's change the narrative to show the world what we have to offer.

Africa boasts of a population of 1.2billion, of which 80% is below the age of 38. Projecting ahead, our population is set to double to 2.5billion by 2050. The implication of this is that we will increasingly see a younger workforce.. With increasing life expectancies, we can expect more incidents of “young” people managing older subordinates.
Therein lies a challenge for young African leaders: Our culture is rich in elder-dominance, whereby older people are to be accorded respect by virtue of their age, and are not to be questioned. How do these young people then assert their leadership in business? Further, many young lack confidence about their leadership capability as they feel they do not have legitimate authority to lead. Many young feel that they do not have sufficient war stories to earn their stripes. How can NextGens lead effectively?

For the longest time, many African daughters and wives have faced obstacles in their family's businesses. Sometimes these obstacles are outrightly erected, explicitly having policies preventing female family members from leadership and ownership roles in the business, and othertimes women excuse themselves from these roles due to societal conditioning and reinforcement.
This hour we find ourselves in is a very unique one - 2020 appears to be a year of reckoning with the BLM movement and clamouring against gender sexual violence in Africa.
History has shown us that moments of disruption and devastation provide a great opportunity to rediscover, reinvent and renegotiate as individuals and as a collective. This hour is no different: The current pandemic may provide the right context to transform the role of African women in family business, starting a new social norm. Women may find allies that champion their causes, as they individually and collectively discover their voices to negotiate the obstacles that face them in family businesses.

We are in a very dark hour in our world with racial tensions, gender injustices and so much more. I believe there are 3 pertinent lessons for us in family businesses in this hour and my prayer is that we will learn the lesson of the hour: we will not be forced as a globe to keep repeating class so that all these deaths and pains will not be in vain. Instead, we will be promoted to our next classes as we see a more equitable and just world for all.

Often times our desire to blend in and belong as NextGens hinders our ability to fulfil our unique purpose, not to imitate the founder's but to pursue our own - both our purposes within the family business and outside. We need to understand that we are gifts, with unique stories to bless our family businesses and the world.
The gift is our individual story, and to make an impact, we must go through a process of healing. It’s only then that we can make the impact that we were designed to, in accepting and celebrating our uniqueness developed through triumphs and trials. So don’t deny us of your story, own it, stand out and make an impact!

When I first started working in our family business, I noticed that my emotions often yo-yoed: I would go from incredible highs to incredible lows. My emotions were a lot more volatile than they were when I was working at Deloitte. It took me some time to realise that I was more sensitive than I had been when I worked outside of the business, because I was working with my nearest and dearest, and so had very high expectations of them.
Emotions are interesting. It takes introspection to identify the source of one's emotions and then one deciding not to be ruled by them. A common one a lot of us struggle with is a feeling of rejection when our ideas are not taken on board: that we feel rejected does not mean we were rejected; that our ideas were rejected, does not mean we were rejected. Emotions are not truth.

A few years ago a friend of mine’s father died prematurely. Beyond having to grieve her father who she was so close to, she was in a precarious situation where the family’s financial security was wiped. Her dad had been the breadwinner, and no one in the family had knowledge of his business. His assets unfortunately were not well-protected.
Ironically, my friend’s dad’s death was my awakening, to want to see more resilient family enterprises, on our continent. A resilient family enterprise will not collapse, as a result of death, incapacitation, economic shocks, change in regulation or technology. It may be thrown off course and may have to course-correct, however it will still withstand whatever adversity it faces.

I’m often asked about NextGens not working in the business. If that's you, you may be saying I am proud of my parents for having worked so hard to build a successful business from humble beginnings. I don’t want to watch all that they worked hard for, disappear. I want to assist with introducing modern ideas to take it to the next level, so that it lasts for generations and leaves a legacy, but from the sidelines. Perhaps you already have a career, a business or you live abroad. What do we do?
