What is Core Training?
Core is shorthand for our yearlong program in Financial Transitions Planning.
This includes insight into the unique needs of client-in-transition, such as how to identify and work through the behavioral and cognitive struggles that lead to problems during major life transitions. From struggles with communication, decision-making, managing expectations, and even implementation, we’ve got science-backed tools and process.
And just as important, we will show you how to identify when a client is in a state of flow and provide you with tools to further enhance that flow.
In this ADVANCED Training, you will learn:
