Have You Met Tim Schokking?

February 27, 2023

It was great to catch up with Tim Schokking, one of our Lawrence & Co advi­sors, who focus­es most­ly on strate­gic plan­ning for fam­i­ly and entre­pre­neur­ial busi­ness­es, as well as some CEO and exec­u­tive coaching.

We talked how being an advi­sor allows him to use his curios­i­ty, and to help oth­er peo­ple tap into their poten­tial by find­ing inter­est­ing and cre­ative ways around the chal­lenges they face.

Most inter­est­ing­ly, when we talked about the most impact­ful tool he takes to his clients, he ini­tial­ly start­ed talk­ing about our cus­tomized ver­sion of the One-Page Strate­gic Plan.

And then he quick­ly moved on to talk about the pow­er of ask­ing the right ques­tions to peo­ple who are already smart and capable.

In this seg­ment, Tim talks about how he is moti­vat­ed by the jour­ney of his con­tin­u­al improve­ment — to be bet­ter when he goes to bed than when he got up in the morning.

And, how much he loves to work with fam­i­ly busi­ness­es and nav­i­gat­ing the com­plex dynam­ics of per­son­al­i­ties, growth and suc­ces­sion planning.

Final­ly, we talk about his favourite clients: peo­ple who are hun­gry and hum­ble, inter­est­ed and dri­ven, and who want to learn – peo­ple push him to be at the top of his game so that they can be at the top of theirs.
