Collective harmony (face) culture

Many parents may feel caught between cultures at some point. It may be with previous generations such as parenting conflicts with your own parents or in-laws. Or feeling caught between the "traditional" parenting methods we experienced and the gentle parenting we see on the internet and social media.

Often, we don't realize how much cultural differences influence the way we see the world, that it's difficult to see any other way. 

In this second of two episodes with Dr. James Grubman, we dive into how cultural differences affect parenting. Dr. Jim Grubman is an internationally recognized consultant to families of wealth, family enterprises, and the wealth advisory industry. Dr. Grubman has been honored with the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award by the Family Wealth Report and the 2024 Richard Beckhard Practice Award
from the Family Firm Institute. 

He is the author of the renowned book, Strangers in Paradise: How Families Adapt to Wealth Across Generations, and co-author of Wealth 3.0: The Future of Family Wealth Advising (with Dennis Jaffe and Kristin Keffeler) and Cross Cultures: How Global Families Navigate Change Across Generations (with Dennis
Jaffe) along with multiple other publications. Dr. Grubman is a leader in The UHNW Institute, an industry think tank, and holds Fellow status in the Family Firm Institute and the Purposeful Planning Institute as well as membership in STEP, an international trusts-and-estates organization. His practice, Family Wealth Consulting, is based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Here's just some of what you'll discover in this episode:

• The three cultures based on research (Yes, there are three and not just two!)
• How these cultural differences can result in conflicts among generations (and other surprising sources of conflicts!), in various issues including parenting
• What we can do if we feel caught between cultures
