Do you have a question about a family enterprise,
a succession not yet settled, a transition with no clear ground beneath it? Are you facing a difficulty that is taking too long to resolve?
Trevor Dickinson can help. And it’s not just theory. As a fourth-generation family business leader and multi-generational family enterprise advisor, Trevor knows, from both family history and personal experience, the disciplines and costs, both financial and personal, of running a family business.
​
Trevor is also an author. His writing sits at the intersection of governance, succession, and the human dimensions of inheritance.
Through his family business consulting practice, Family Legacies, Trevor advises multigenerational family enterprises on succession, governance, conflict, and exit strategies.
FAMILY LEGACIES
For those navigating sustained adversity, Trevor’s programme, The Practised Life, offers meaning-centred coaching and mentoring, grounded in Stoic philosophy and Viktor Frankl's logotherapy.
THE PRACTISED LIFE
36 YEARS OF LIVED AUTHORITY INSIDE A FAMILY ENTERPRISE,
AND 17 YEARS OF DOCUMENTED PHILOSOPHICAL PRACTICE.
This journey is revealed in Trevor’s new book, LEGACY: The Inheritance Paradox. This multigenerational memoir unpacks what the family enterprise cost and taught Trevor, while also revealing the philosophical framework of concurrent meaning-making. LEGACY: The Inheritance Paradox is due to be published in late 2026.
The structural — succession, governance, ownership, exit — cannot be addressed apart from the human cost of carrying them.​​
