Family Business Summit
Legacy in Real Time: Leading from Within in Multi-Generational Family Business
In this powerful and deeply personal keynote, Anne Bauer invites audiences behind the scenes of what it really takes to sustain, lead, and evolve a family business across generations. As the 6th-generation owner of a business founded in 1891 -- and someone who has worked for, with, and alongside her parents, siblings, and spouse -- Anne brings unparalleled depth, insight, and empathy to the unique challenges family-run businesses face.
With a professional background in psychology, coaching, and energy work, Anne weaves together decades of lived experience and cutting-edge leadership support into a talk that's both grounding and transformative.
Through the lens of her signature Three Pillars of Legacy -- Clear Communication, Healthy Energetic Boundaries, and Energetic Awareness -- Anne breaks open the myth that legacy is about perfection, strategy, or ticking boxes. Instead, she reframes legacy as a living practice: something we embody, navigate, and evolve every single day -- especially when business and family are inextricably linked.
