LGA In Real Life – Our Global Team Teaching and Presenting All Over the World
2023 was the year the world left the COVID-19 pandemic behind: international travel gathered steam, business conferences resumed, and family gatherings returned to being the norm rather than the exception. “In real life” (IRL) experiences returned to being the dominant form of human interaction.
LGA was no exception, and our global team was excited to be able to gather more frequently in person to develop and share fresh insights and explore new ways to support enterprising families. Throughout the year, our team has also grown significantly, and our advisors participated in conferences and gatherings with clients and partners all over the world.
In this newsletter, we present some of the recent highlights of LGA IRL – and preview some of the exciting initiatives that kept us busy throughout the year — a core part of our mission to provide actionable insights and trusted advice to sustain the continuity of family legacies across generations.

Teaching Highlights
In September, a new YPO executive education program was held at the Harvard Kennedy School. LGA Advisor Chris Robichaud was the faculty lead for the program, delivering sessions and simulations throughout the week-long event. LGA Managing Partner Devin DeCiantis also led a lunch keynote on managing risk and nurturing resilience in family enterprises. 80 participants from 40 countries participated, and the program is already oversubscribed for next year.
In October, we launched our first LatAm Family Governance program, in partnership with ESE Business School. 20 families, including 51 participants from 6 countries (Chile, Colombia, Bolivia, Mexico, Guatemala, Panamá) attended the sold-out event in New York City, and plans are already underway for another expanded session next year.
Later that same month, the Kellogg School of Management launched a new educational program in partnership with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce. The first in-person sessions were taught in Dubai on October 30-31 by Matt Allen and Nicolas Hollanders. These sessions focused on the fundamentals of Family Governance, and will be followed by both virtual and in-person courses in Evanston in 2024. The program also includes coaching for attending family members, with Wendy Ulaszek supporting the students as part of the Kellogg coaching team.
