Our guest speaker was Chris Clarke, author of \u201cTrue Family Wealth: Love, Money &#038; An Inspired Life.\u201d  Chris did a terrific job highlighting some of the strategies and pitfalls relating to this important subject. The feedback we received from attendees was excellent.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Tony Arrell, CEO and Chairman, Burgundy Asset<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cWhat a magnificent work on this important topic. Chris\u2019s work around the Family Treasury and its importance is a treasure in itself for either families of wealth or to wealth advisors alike. \u00a0 I\u2019d never thought of money as equaling units of Life Energy Quotient.\u00a0 I won\u2019t ever think of money in the same terms after reading this book. \u00a0 True Family Wealth is a must for advisors and families committed to sustaining themselves across the generations. A study grounded in deep thought and practical applications. Workshops at family gatherings would do well to have this work as their bible.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Dirk Junge, Chairman, Pitcairn Trust Co.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations. What a wonderful book. A unique and holistic goals based approach to wealth planning for individuals and families. I really appreciate how it begins with a deep look at the individual, who they are, what they want from life, then doing the same for the family. We are all wealth creators; the question is what do we want to create? Loved the sections on charitable foundations and the Life Energy Quotient. You\u2019re right, time is our greatest treasure.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Caroline Mulroney Lapham, CIM\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cChris looks at wealth as more than money. More importantly, I found her perspective that true wealth is more than individual wealth, but a family legacy to be passed down through the generations illuminating. I really appreciated how The Family Treasury\u2122 creates a continuum of care, so that instead of one generation passing the torch to the next, who may be unprepared, they all carry the torch at the same time. That builds wealth stewards.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Michael Reddy, President, Redvest Corporation Ltd.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cTo often I encounter families whose wealth growth and succession plans have become threatened or even destroyed because the money itself was seen as the ultimate goal. Chris Clarke\u2019s book attacks this premise head on seeking to show that wealth, family and personal and dare I say\u00a0spiritual growth should be looked at as a unit to achieve financial, family and life success. \u00a0This thought provoking book is highly recommended for people seeking to grow in all these ways with their families \u00a0into the future\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Brian Cohen, Partner Gowling WLG<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of your current position in life, anyone can benefit from the thought provoking guidance and practical advice throughout Chris\u2019s book. This book will reframe your perceptions about wealth and the pursuit of wealth while providing you hands on tools to realize True Family Wealth. This isn\u2019t a get rich quick book, this is a how to build and live a fulfilling life book.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Doug Arscott , President, The Juice Plus+ Company Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cThe emotions of money and the relationship issues created around money have had a profound impact on our health, our family and our society. This is the most comprehensive assessment of what it takes to have a healthy relationship with money and each other that I have come across so far.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Sandra Stewart, CCS, Advisor &#038; Cash Flow Specialist, High Road Financial Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cAs a Money Coach, I speak with families daily about their money hopes, concerns and worries. Every family should use this informative book as a useful resource to facilitate money conversations and to develop their family wealth strategy. \u201c<br \/>\n<strong>Janet Gray, Certified Financial Planner with Money Coaches Canada <\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cTruly inspiring. The mix between spiritualism and wealth creation is very empowering. Your explanation of the value of the meditative experience as a profound experience which helps us all, build wealth within and without was one of the best descriptions I have read.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Barry Mills, CPCA, EPC, CAFA<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cWe will forever be grateful for the financial structure Chris and her team have built and supported for our family for so many years.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Brent Hollister, Retired President and CEO of Sears Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cInformed, friendly, timely and effective\u2026in many ways, part of our family\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>John Wetmore, former President and CEO, IBM Canada Ltd.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cWise advice from a trusted advisor and friend\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Sinan Akdeniz, President, East Coast Fund Management; former Vice Chair and COO of TD Securities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cThis is a thoughtful and creative guide to building and managing wealth in today\u2019s society\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong>Richard Pilosof, Founding Partner and CEO, RP Investment Advisors<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations\u2026 this is a very valuable guide for families.
