Description

Divorce and all the other life transitions events are typically seen as money on motion events, women are projected to own majority of the wealth in the US within a few years. With the tools shared in this workshop you will advance your skills in working with the life in motion; the money in motion will follow and stay. Life transition events such as divorce, widowhood, inheritance, and the sale of a business are gender neutral, both women and men will have on average 5 to 7 major life changing events in their life. Experience and data support the view that women work their way through life changing events differently than men. ? Women want to process, men want answers ? Women tend to be better at tolerating the natural uncertainty and time it takes to complete a major life transition. ? Women want time to “get it right”, men want to move on ? Women want to want to talk and learn; men want to get things done. This workshop is designed to give you practical, repeatable tools and process to reframe your engagements with women at any stage of a life transition. You will learn and experience a new framework that supports both the technical requirements and the human side. Beginning with a powerful way to start the transition conversation with a new or existing client

Learning Objectives

 How to lower their stress level and increase their brain function while making key decisions  How to help protect what matters most to them during times of overwhelm, confusion and transition fatigue.  How to build a repeatable system for good decision making and a feeling of agency. Data suggests a large percentage of women leave their advisor 2 years after a divorce or widowhood. Most of the heavy lifting is done in the first year but women clients may still be processing their major life pivot, they need a different kind of support and guidance. The new framework shared in this workshop will be equally valuable during the years of adjustment and adaptation when you can help a client reimagine and build their next chapter.  How to manage transition fatigue to avoid acquiescing to demands of others.  How to build a creative reimagining process when a client is ready for forward-thinking.  How to help a client use the life skills experienced with you to face future events with confidence and an advisor who gets them.
