There are two sides to life-altering events, the technical and the ‘other’ side, the personal. You have in-depth training on the technical side, you also see the struggles clients have following your advice and reshaping their post-divorce lives. This workshop is designed for you to experience the skills and tools for all four transition stages of a client’s divorce.
Within each life event, there will be a series of decisions to be made. Each decision has consequences, these consequences form the layers of the next chapter life. This is a deeply human experience that transcends the linear process of traditional financial planning. On the personal side, the uncertainties that naturally arise do not have fixed solutions, we need to learn to shift from being the experts to being thinking partners.
In this session, you will have the opportunity to lean into your own experience of change and come away with a deeper understanding of the inherent challenges and opportunities you and your client face each time life pivots.
Learning Objectives:
Learn three processes to understand how you ‘do’ change. Take what you learn in this session back to your practice to help clients ‘do’ their best version of leaning into change and making each life transitions count.
- Experience the value of three repeatable transition tools for communication, decision-making, and managing expectation.
