I want everyone to be aware of a new initiative at Women Entrepreneurs Grow Global®, a partner to WPO, that is called wegg® DOBO™. wegg DOBO is a groundbreaking initiative designed specifically for women preparing to take the reins of their family businesses.
Developed by women for women, wegg DOBO equips participants with the confidence and skills needed to navigate the challenges of succession and leadership. It offers a supportive, professionally-facilitated cohort experience for 5-7 women executives, who meet virtually each month for two hours. Discussions are tailored to members’ needs and cover a wide range of topics, including transparent succession planning, establishing boundaries between personal and professional life, and adapting communication and leadership styles when stepping into larger roles-especially when leading teams that include non-family members.
We worked with WPO member Rebecca Block on this new initiative along with her daughter Melissa Haskin who is a member of our first wegg DOBO cohort which started in February, 2025. Melissa says, "
We are working with WPO to have more WPO members have their daughters become a part of a cohort to prepare them to take the reins of their family business someday. Another WPO member Meghan Lynch says, "wegg has long championed global growth for women entrepreneurs. With DOBO, they’re creating something rare: a space built for women in generational businesses."

Please send me an email if you think your daughter would be interested in learning more. We are in the process of establishing wegg DOBO 2.
