Summary

In this episode, Jane Beddall, founder of Dovetail Resolutions, helps us reframe how conflict shows up in family enterprises. Drawing on her experience as a mediator, consultant, and conflict coach, Jane shares why not all conflict is the same—and how the fear of escalation often prevents families from addressing tension early. We explore the distinction between healthy disagreement and deeper dysfunction, and why timing, environment, and tone matter more than we often realize.
