You may have arrived here carrying a question about a family enterprise, a succession not yet settled, a transition that has begun without clear ground beneath it, or a difficulty that does not resolve on the timeline you would have chosen.

​

 

I am Trevor Dickinson, a fourth-generation family business leader and the author of LEGACY: The Inheritance Paradox, a memoir documenting what 115 years of family enterprise cost and taught across four generations.

​​

​

My work is delivered through two practices. Family Legacies advises multigenerational family enterprises on succession, governance, conflict, and exit. The Practised Life offers meaning-centred coaching and mentoring, grounded in Stoic philosophy and Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, for individuals navigating sustained adversity.

​

The two practices serve different needs. They share a single source: 36 years of lived authority inside a family enterprise, and 17 years of documented philosophical practice.
