Navigating Family Wealth
The role of Family Constitution in Conflict Resolution
In the latest episode of All Things Conflict, I welcome the remarkable Gio Notarbartolo for a deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation. Gio’s story begins within the walls of a family business whose legacy stretches back eight generations, a heritage steeped in tradition, responsibility, and unspoken expectations.
But along with the pride of that legacy came an emotional challenge: inheriting wealth while seeking an authentic personal identity. Gio opens up about the inner conflicts this created, and how she learned to navigate the delicate balance between honouring her family’s history and forging her own path.
One of the most powerful tools in that process was the creation of a “family constitution,” a framework of shared values and guidelines designed to help her family work through complex decisions about both wealth and relationships. For Gio, it wasn’t just a legal or financial safeguard, it was a way to create clarity, unity, and mutual respect across generations.
Gio also delved into discovering impact investing and embraced it as a way to align financial decisions with her deepest values. Instead of simply preserving assets, she chose to use them as a catalyst for meaningful social change. This journey also led her to question traditional wealth management practices, critique systems that perpetuate inequality, and call for a fairer tax structure.
This episode is a refreshing reminder that conversations about money don’t have to be purely transactional. They can be about identity, justice, and the courage to break from the moulds we inherit.
If you’ve ever wondered how legacy, wealth, and social responsibility intersect or how conflict can become a powerful agent for transformation, this is a conversation worth your time.
