21/64

21/64 is an independent nonprofit practice providing multigenerational advising, facilitation and training for next generation engagement.

21/64 Approach Training for Family Enterprise Professionals – Richmond, VA – February 25-26, 2026

This training is for professionals who work within single family offices and family foundations. If you work in a multi-family office or a consultancy that serves multiple family clients, we invite you to attend one of our open Approach Trainings which take place both in-person and virtually throughout the year.

As a family enterprise professional, you wear many hats. You oversee investment portfolios, estate plans, governance, risk management, legacy planning, philanthropy, tax reporting, and the list goes on. Amidst a litany of responsibilities, the one thing that can often be neglected is family – the heart and soul of the operation. So, how do we reorient? How do we ensure that the values, relationships, and stories that undergird family serve as the foundation of our work? How do we engage family members in a way that yields deeper meaning and transformational outcomes for generations to come?

21/64 will host a special “Approach Training” tailored to the needs of single family office and family foundation professionals, taking place over two days. Participants will learn tried and true approaches for engaging family members in productive conversations about values, legacy and relationships. By focusing on the human side of the family enterprise, you will be able to increase the efficiency and impact of planning, governance and investment activities for current and future generations. Program content will be consistent with our general Approach training; however, we will frame real world scenarios specifically through a family enterprise lens.

The 21/64 Approach Training is a recognized certification program that explores the human dimension of work with next generation and multigenerational family enterprises. Attendees learn how to help clients clarify their identities, which in turn informs family engagement and structures for decision-making. In this training, you will learn 21/64’s proven methodology for engaging individuals and families at the intersection of values and governance. The program is specifically designed to help you more comfortably engage family members in important and often complicated conversations, whether you are new to the family enterprise field or a seasoned professional adjusting to new modalities of this work.

Once you've completed the 21/64 Approach Training, you will become a 21/64 Certified Advisor, joining a global network of accredited professionals. You will also have the option of joining the 21/64 Learning Community with free access to continued skill building, next level trainings, the latest resources and tools, and more.

I highly recommend this training, even if you are quite experienced in family meeting facilitation and client management. In addition to providing outstanding content, the training works on almost a meta level — not only are you covering the toolkits and techniques for facilitating family meetings in detail, but in addition you are able to observe skilled facilitators demonstrate these techniques in action as they work with the group. You are able to reflect about yourself and about the approach you bring to client work as you use the tools, and you are also able to learn from and share best practices with the highly experienced group of peers who attend the training alongside you. A highly valuable use of time!

You have created a fabulous training for the 21/64 methodology and tools – the combination of personal and group development, learning on individual and then facilitation levels, and working with specific tools and an overall system – what a hard balance that you did extremely well.

Generational change is upon us, and Goldseker and Moody have spent years finding out what drives those best positioned to fund social change. What better way to understand next gen donors than hearing their stories first-hand in order to become effective partners in organizing, supporting, and advocating for the rights of those who need it most.

With great abundance comes great responsibility. In Sharna and Michael’s stunningly important book we have a deep and learned look into how (with ‘engagement’) and why (‘to achieve impact’) Gen Xers and Millennials are becoming today’s philanthropists. Give yourself the gift of knowing what to expect as you engage with emerging philanthropists from these cohorts. Join these authors as they bring to life the motivations, actions, and philosophies of giving of these remarkable, dedicated philanthropists who expect to help solve the social, economic, political, and cultural issues of the past and present, and who want to lead us toward a magnificent future for our planet and its peoples. I am sure that many of my silent generation cohort will love learning about the feeling of engagement and passion for impact among these young philanthropists.

The updated edition of Generation Impactcomes at a critical juncture for the increasingly complex and uncertain times we’re living in. The world has changed dramatically since it first came out only a few years ago, and the new preface offers an important ‘sense-making’ perspective about how next gen donors are responding to societal upheavals and existential crises. The Best Practice Guides are provocative and insightful, as well as practical and realistic. I will be referring to them often as thedefinitive playbook for engaging next gen donors and changemakers as they rise to meet the moments of our time.

In Generation Impact, Michael and Sharna offer a compelling analysis of how Gen X and Millennials are already revolutionizing giving—and will continue to do so for years to come. In a time of deep inequity and great need, these rising generations are set not only to change the face of philanthropy, but also the practice of it, transforming the future in ways both exciting and promising. Generation Impactdoes more than inspire; it also serves as a practical guide to engaging the next generation of giving.

When my clients and students express curiosity or frustration about engaging Gen Xers and Millennials in philanthropy, I tell them that the ‘go to’ book is Generation Impact. This book has been a refreshing guide and resource for me and so many. The insights and profiles in the book are framed with solid philanthropic analysis and a generous supply of informed observations. Of particular importance to me is the exploration of the continuing persistence of values as a primary motivator for Gen X and Millennial philanthropy—as they have been for centuries.

The new book by Sharna Goldseker and Michael Moody won’t be a classic someday. It is. Now. Their book is all about now and giving and this generation that, right before our very eyes, emerged from being the ‘next generation’ to what Goldseker and Moody reveal is the ‘now generation’—that generation with the intellectual, human, and financial capital needed to tackle the massive challenges confronting the planet, the country, and their own backyards. The Goldseker/Moody approach to telling the stories of these givers and this new age of giving is fresh and creative: at once inspirational and how to, heartening, and instructive. For families, emerging philanthropists, and old pros trying to disrupt themselves, this book is a lantern in dark times, a light in the world we are all trying to fathom—and fix.

Today’s emerging generation of donors are driven by a new definition of success: impact. This is clear through Goldseker and Moody’s work, which uncovers the motives and approaches driving today’s new strategic philanthropists. Many close friends are profiled in this book, and I can attest to their earnest, values-driven approach. For anyone who is eager to understand the next gen donor, this book offers truly valuable insights.
