Course Information

This self-directed, self-paced course helps advisors, who have begun serving multiple generations of their client-families, to develop the essential skills required to effectively serve whole family. While many advisors understand the value of expanding their service to the whole family, many cite a lack of confidence or training in the skills required to navigate the interpersonal dynamics involved in connecting with each family member.

Throughout this module, advisors will:

  • Learn and practice seven essential skills (sometimes referred to as “soft skills or “emotional intelligence skills”)
  • Increase confidence in their ability to deepen relationships with their client-families
  • Learn more about how to more effectively leverage their own unique strengths in their work
  • Gain interpersonal skills such as perspective, empathy, listening, and assertiveness
  • Practice these skills with real client case scenarios

Additionally, the course offers discussion of some common family dynamics, as well as some unique challenges common to financially successful families, with the opportunity to apply this knowledge to a current or prospective client family.

DESIGNED FOR THE FOLLOWING PROFESSIONALS

The Whole Family Advisor Program is designed for an Advisor who is responsible for providing services to financially successful individuals, couples, and families.
