| I have learned the best ways to balance family and business needs and most importantly how to educate and help the next generation into the family business under the best conditions and in a structured way. The knowledge that I gained from LFB enabled me to educate the next generation with the understanding that being part of a family business is a privilege and not an obligation. For me, the surprising element at LFB was how much I learned from other family businesses. Today I am even prouder to be part of a family business. |
