My 11-year-old son attended his first board meeting. When we walked in, I handed him the Landing board deck and said: “Flip through this and figure out what your questions are.” He sat right next to me the whole time and got the full boardroom experience – what the conversations are like, questions I get as a CEO, and how a group of people work together for the good of a company. I watched my son as he sat quietly, observed the room, and filled pages of his notebook. As soon as the meeting ended, my son hit me with his questions (there were a lot of them). The first: “What’s EBITDA?” He was equally curious about the meaning of CAC and LTV. It was a great experience for him, and the board liked it, too. We all saw how including kids in business settings doesn’t disrupt the flow or slow you down. Instead, it fuels their curiosity. As parents, we have an opportunity to develop the next generation of leaders. The sooner we introduce them to new concepts, the earlier their knowledge compounds. You don’t need to be an entrepreneur to do this. Simply including kids in what you do is enough to impact them.
