Strengthening Marriage Through Every Transition
On Valentine’s Day, couples from around the world gathered for a powerful and timely conversation at the EC Global Forum on Couples in Business. The theme, Navigating Transitions in Career and Business, resonated deeply with married entrepreneurs who are building both a life and a legacy together.
Navigating Transitions with Wisdom and Unity
Guest speakers Robert Fukui and Kay Lee Fukui brought decades of real-life experience to the discussion. As cofounders of the innovative consulting program, Power Couples by Design™, they understand firsthand the tension that can arise when marriage and business intersect.
Transitions in career and business are inevitable. Whether launching a new venture, shifting industries, scaling operations, or preparing for succession, each transition tests both the strength of the business and the health of the marriage. Robert and Kay Lee shared practical strategies for navigating these seasons without sacrificing unity, communication, or shared vision.
They emphasized that success is not merely about business growth, but about growing together. Your marriage and business can grow stronger together, empowering you and your spouse to build a thriving marriage and a prosperous business side by side.
“Is Your Marriage Ready for Your Next Big Leap?”
The forum also featured a candid and insightful panel discussion with Robert and Kay Lee Fukui, along with Juan and Sheila Rodriguez, and Rodney and Yulia Friesen.
Together, they explored the central question:
Is your marriage prepared for your next business breakthrough?
Panelists shared openly about real-life transitions, the tensions that surfaced, and the intentional steps they took to protect their covenant while pursuing growth. The discussion reinforced a core truth: preparation for the next level must include both strategic planning and relational strengthening.
Growth without unity creates strain. Growth with unity creates a legacy.
