My Next 30 Years

Shaklee Corporation CEO Roger Barnett, at the Shaklee Generations event during Shaklee's Global Conference in St. Louis

Roger Barnett and several business leaders from Shaklee business spanning two or more generations took time during the Global Conference in St. Louis to discuss the unique opportunity that Shaklee provides for creating a lasting family legacy. The growing trend of children and grandchildren recognizing the unique opportunity Shaklee represents created a desire to provide a forum for discussing “best practices” and recommendations by field sales leaders.

Key among the recommendations discussed was a common theme of involving children and grandchildren in the business early, to provide as much training and experience as possible. A number of successful sales leaders also recommended that younger generations inheriting successful businesses in the future start and run their own Shaklee business first. Many felt that doing so provided insight and experience beyond what could be easily communicated. A number of current second and third generation sales leaders who were part of the panel discussion had started out by doing this themselves.

The event was well attended by numerous Shaklee sales leaders who are currently or will soon be running businesses with their children or grandchildren. The numerous health, financial, environmental, and social opportunities provided by Shaklee has a universal appeal to the young and young-at-heart.
