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.

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.
