Here’s The Challenge
Professional is a word that is affected by context. In a general context, it can mean someone who has long years of experience in a complex job and can solve any problems that might happen.
Professional financial advisers work in a specific context of professional qualifications and expert practise, ethical rules and legal obligations erected to enshrine the profession.
The primary value of their professional work is to help the client solve problems and secure their welfare and best interest. The essential commercial viability of a professional practice comes second to serving the client’s best interest.
The first half of the Professional Adviser program gives practice leaders and advisers a practical guide to professionalism as a way of life, in the context of a fully functioning profession.
The second half speaks to the vitally important human interaction between a client and their financial adviser. It relates to professional as a way of being.
Practice owners and advisers have here a practical working guide to assist their progress in the evolving profession of financial planning.
