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.
