Alliance of Comprehensive Planners and the Kinder Institute of Life Planning Announce 2018 Conference Collaboration

WILMINGTON, N.C., July 19, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The Alliance of Comprehensive Planners (ACP), a community of tax-focused financial planners who provide comprehensive planning strategies for their clients on a fee-only retainer basis, and the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, an organization that provides workshops, intensive trainings and consulting services to financial advisors worldwide, have teamed up to provide an interesting swath of content for the 2018 ACP Annual Conference.

On Nov. 5 and 6, 2018, as a pre-conference option being offered the two days immediately preceding the ACP Annual conference, George Kinder will be leading his signature “Seven Stages of Money Maturity” workshop. “This workshop trains advisors to help their clients find freedom and financial security by developing clarity and ease around their relationship to money,” Kinder said. “Advisors will learn how to improve their listening, relationship, and inspirational skills. We will discuss the psychology of money and provide a model for understanding and developing client relationships as well as one’s own relationship to money.”

George Kinder's Seven Stages workshop was without a doubt an inflection point in both my life and career. The Kinder training I received has helped change my approach in my day-to-day interactions with not just my clients but my family and friends. The Seven Stages workshop really highlights the human dimensions of money such as self-sabotaging behavior, inappropriate risk-taking, lack of interest in executing a plan, and goal confusion. As a result, I now see how to more fully integrate life goals with financial realities and inspire the client to action.

ACP member Frankie Corrado, CFP®, who has participated in Kinder Institute training sessions and is pursuing the Registered Life Planner (RLP) designation, enthusiastically recommends the Seven Stages workshop. “George Kinder’s Seven Stages workshop was without a doubt an inflection point in both my life and career. A life plan is more than just a financial plan,” Corrado said. “The Kinder training I received has helped me change my approach in my day-to-day interactions with not just my clients but my family and friends. The Seven Stages workshop really highlights the human dimensions of money such as self-sabotaging behavior, inappropriate risk-taking, lack of interest in executing a plan, and goal confusion. As a result, I now see how to more fully integrate life goals with financial realities and inspire the client to action. I can’t say enough how important of a stepping stone to my improved career and life the Kinder program has been.”

“Financial Life Planning is the future of the advisory profession,” Kinder said. “And this workshop is one step toward developing a completely fresh approach to engaging clients, one that focuses first on the person, not their portfolio. Of course, we need to develop solid financial strategies for our clients. But first, we must understand what money is for. If we truly connect to a client’s deepest dreams and aspirations and can fashion plans in their service, we will earn clients for life. Financial Life Planning will differentiate you from the crowd and help build unbreakable trust with your clients.”

The Kinder Institute’s proven method is used by thousands of successful advisors worldwide. This Training provides 10.00 CEUs for CFP®s and is eligible for CPD Points 17.00 hours. More information is available here: http://2018.acplanners.org/kinder-2-day-workshop.
