The Effects of Failure to Launch Syndrome on Corporate America
Failure to Launch affects more than the individual or family unit. Companies are struggling to find and keep young workers across the board. The hiring process is costing businesses an average of 18% more because of it. In addition, company culture is suffering from low morale, reduced employee camaraderie and higher stress levels. These costs are impossible to measure but all lead to reduced productivity and retention rates. What is a company to do?

As a grandparent with grandchildren in their teen years or entering their teen years, this was a good reminder to me of my responsibility to mentor and encourage them.

As parents we have a lot of confidence in teaching our children early lessons: walking, talking, colors, fine-motor skills and how to navigate the elementary playground. Once our teens reach middle school, and then highschool, our confidence takes a dive. They are navigating a world that has changed so much since we were their age. (Sandy has) a blueprint to boil those life lessons down into manageable chunks while creating lasting memories for you with your teen. It is obvious that Sandy and Samantha learned a tremendous amount together as they built a successful business.
