Family Communication Skills Workshop

Is communication within your family business feeling more like a merry-go-round than a clear path forward? Join Seattle's leading Family Dynamics Coach, Savannah Suttle, MAMFT of SCHEMA, for an engaging, in-person workshop designed to bring clarity, connection, and ease to those conversations.

In this workshop, you'll learn about effective communication between partners, siblings, and across different generations. Whether you're a Baby Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, or Gen Z, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to improve their communication skills (or help their family member improve theirs!)

Located at The Tower Building (1809 7th Ave, Seattle, 98101) this in-person event will cover topics such as active listening, understanding generational differences, and how to bridge the communication gap between age groups. You'll walk away with practical tips and strategies that you can start using right away.

• The Awareness Wheel– a simple but powerful tool that will help you express your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a way that truly resonates with others.

• Listening that works – learn how to listen deeply, not just to respond, but to *understand*—one of the most transformative skills for family communication.

• Real conversations, real progress – through interactive exercises, you’ll practice how to turn frustrating exchanges into productive, solution-focused discussions.

This workshop offers a thoughtful balance of teaching and doing. We’ll guide you through meaningful activities that encourage genuine dialogue between you and your family member, so you leave not just with new knowledge, but with real breakthroughs. Whether you’re tackling succession planning or simply looking for a better way to communicate day-to-day, this experience is designed to get you unstuck.

Family businesses are unique, and so are the challenges they face. Bring a family member you’d like to communicate better with, and take home tools you can start using immediately to bring clarity, ease, and trust into your conversations.

BONUS: Stick around and chat with fellow attendees for Happy Hour (4:30pm).
