Coaches

The Institute for Preparing Heirs has a team of internationally recognized coaches on preparing families for the transfer of wealth. Team members adhere to the highest standards of ethics, integrity and confidentiality, and are highly competent in working with high net worth individuals and their advisors. Coaches are specifically selected to match each family’s needs.

The following two highly qualified individuals are representative of the Institute’s outstanding coaches.

Emily Bouchard
Emily is a specialist in blended families and is a keen listener. She has the unique ability to hear what is being expressed, rather than simply what is being said. Her approach to family coaching brings people to awareness and understanding of internal barriers that keep them from thriving in relationships. Her mission is to facilitate breakthrough communication that dramatically improves relationships. Emily and her Canadian husband, Darryl Bouchard, co-authored the e-book Conquering Conflict: An Effective Technique for Resolving Blended Family Conflicts and teach workshops for couples and blended families. Emily has over 20 years of experience working with children and families in a variety of settings.

Peter Yaholkovsky
Peter has an extensive background in linguistic foundations of action and relationships, having studied and worked with Dr. Fernando Flores at Logonet and Business Design Associates. He is certified by the Strozzi Institute as a Master Somatic Coach, with a special interest in developing the emotional skills for building trust relationships characterized by power differentials. He has coached families from diverse backgrounds, guiding them into appreciation and utilization of their shared long-term values. Peter's expertise is his unique ability to coach teams in building trust, both in family and in executive-level business situations. As a prelude to his coaching career for the past two decades, Peter practiced Internal Medicine as a Board Certified Internist after graduating from Stanford and UC Davis.
