  • Identify and define differences between financial advisors and financial coaches.
  • Discuss the benefits of providing a financial coaching relationship as part of your firm’s team.

  • Review how to have client conversations to introduce the concepts of working with a financial coach.

Course Overview

Financial literacy programs began to emerge in schools and communities in the 1980s and saw some traction in the 90s. These programs aimed to teach basic financial concepts such as budgeting, saving, and investing. However, it wasn’t until the 2008 financial crisis that financial literacy gained significant attention.

Despite a robust economy and healthy government budgets, personal bankruptcies were hitting record highs almost every year. Recognizing the need for financial education, efforts to promote financial literacy sparked a national movement Yet, over 40+ years into the push for financial literacy, the statistics are disheartening. More people than ever are living on the edge of a financial precipice, pushed there by poor financial decision-making skills, and augmented by high inflation.

As advisors, you help people grow their investments and protect against undue taxation. If understanding concepts does not change behaviors, what will?

Ilene Slatko is a long-standing advocate for financial education, and in this 1-hour course, she offers insights to help you grow your business by helping your clients change their behaviors. She is a speaker and serial entrepreneur who currently provides financial education programs and coaches clients working through the long tail of administrative and financial tasks involved in the estate and divorce process. She spent over 30 years in the financial industry and has long been a resource for financial and accounting professionals.

Financial coaches can bring an added, and often necessary component to your business by guiding client change through targeted activities. Separating a financial advisor from a financial coach minimizes potential conflicts. The goal is for you to bring value-add to your clients and help them devise wealth and investing strategies AND actions.

Major Topics Covered:

  • History and Evolution of Financial Literacy
  • Behavioral Change and Financial Decision-Making
  • The Role of Financial Coaches vs. Financial Advisors
  • Practical Tools and Strategies for Advisors
