George Kinder on Developing a Mindfulness Practice: Part 1

Step boldly into your greatness by accessing the present moment. Thought leader, mindfulness teacher/author, and finance guru George Kinder unveils his life’s work with a Map of Mindfulness. He uses the map to explain new forms of leadership, economics, and democracy all rooted in the present moment.

This radical 60-minute talk offers insight into how you can personally apply his methods to access your inner leader and enhance your performance in every aspect of life: at work, with your family, and in your relationships. Kinder explores how strong leadership skills come from being present. Always residing in the present moment means you are ready for anything from inspired action to empathic wisdom.

His leadership system democratizes entrepreneurial spirit, maximizing both innovation and growth across society as it maximizes the efficient allocation of human capital. He shifts the frame of economic thinking by grounding all of space and time in the present moment and argues that moments of freedom rather than moments of transaction become our focus. He proposes self-knowledge as a more sustainable motivator than self-interest.

In just one hour, you will understand the present, how to access it, and how it enhances your leadership potential. You’ll discover how to live in the moment and inspire others. You’ll gain a new way of visioning what is possible for the organizations and communities you represent and the tools to take steps to enact change now.

Kinder’s work aims to impact civilization. He’s recently launched a grassroots movement of community conversations happening globally that asks attendees to vision a Golden Civilization and then work to establish it now. His latest book, A Golden Civilization and the Map of Mindfulness, is available for pre-order on Amazon now and can be purchased March 4, 2019. To celebrate the book’s launch, we offer attendees of the live BrightTALK on March 4 a special one-day price of $2.99 for the Kindle version.

Life Planning or Buyer Beware: In the aftermath of the banking crisis, consumer trust in financial services is at a dismal low, as amply illustrated by the latest Edelman survey. Rebuilding client relationships in today’s environment requires a new approach. George Kinder, father of the Life Planning Movement, has developed a holistic approach to engaging the client that reframes the client’s relationship to money within the context of his or her whole life. For the advisor, this pays off in what’s called the “client relationship dividend”.

This webinar explores how advisors and firms who adopt Kinder’s model to engaging clients will:
- Build a trusting relationship from the first minutes of the first meeting
- Help clients uncover inspirational visions for their lives that bring vitality and vigor to their finances
- Address obstacles to attainment of long-desired goals
- Overcome resistance to plan execution
- Build deep, lasting relationships with clients
- Enjoy a more stable flow of income
- Attract a larger share of clients’ assets
- Receive stronger, warmer referrals
- Create a richer, more satisfying life for yourself

George Kinder's signature EVOKE(R) model-- a methodology that takes clients through a five-stage interview process leading to a comprehensive and highly tailored plan of action. Exploration - Vision - Obstacles - Knowledge - Execution

The interview process can be accomplished in as little as an hour or, for sophisticated clients with more complex needs, in a series of longer meetings. The method has been shown to deliver dramatic positive results consistently.

- Build a trusting relationship from the first minutes of the first meeting
- Help clients uncover & reveal inspirational visions for their lives that bring vitality & vigor to their finances

Inspirational session on the profitability of using the client-centered, highly-structured interview process known as Life Planning. To the client, it is an exciting, moving and exhilarating process often described as 'the conversation of a lifetime', leading them to pursue their lives with greatest meaning and value. But to the advisor and their firm, this is a highly structured interview process with measurable deliverables at the end of each phase that can be embedded in software, trained, scaled and sold.

The father of Life Planning, George Kinder will describe the value of integrating an empathy and inspiration advice model throughout the firm. He will share from his experience of working with a variety of different size firms in Europe as well as North America.
