The Global Family Enterprise Program is dedicated to expanding and disseminating knowledge about family enterprise—the heart of the world's economy and society—to our worldwide community. Following up on last month's edition, we are sharing two additional videos from our Founding Women of Family Wealth event that took place two years ago. The event featured women who forged new ways of thinking about family wealth, created organizations that brought families together, and pushed the financial services industry to better serve their clients.

Hear from Founding Women panelist Charlotte Beyer, founder of the Institute for Private Investors, author of Wealth Management Unwrapped, and President of Principle Quest Foundation, about the tension—and synergy—between competition and collaboration. Yes, you can have it both ways.

Here are highlights from her remarks.
