What conversation am I avoiding with my family because saying the truth feels more dangerous than not knowing?

Almost everyone in a UHNW family has at least one. The conversation about not wanting the business. The conversation about how the work years actually felt. The conversation about feeling overlooked in succession. The conversation about what the wealth means. Kris Kluver, in The Dysfunctional Family Office, asks readers to identify the specific conversation they're avoiding because telling the truth feels riskier than living in uncertainty. Most people, asked plainly, can name it within seconds. The avoidance is rational. The truth might damage the relationship. It might disappoint someone. It might make things harder before it makes them better. But the avoidance has a cost too, and the cost compounds. Most families discover the conversation goes much better than they feared. The fear is usually larger than the actual risk.
