Wealth management firms are increasingly adopting structured career paths and mentorship programs, with companies like Wealthspire Associates offering five- to six-year apprenticeships for junior advisors. This focus on hands-on experience and career development addresses the immediate need to retain younger talent in an industry facing an aging workforce. These programs may redefine industry standards, creating a more adaptable and client-centered approach that supports sustainable growth and continuity. #WealthManagement

This is the #1 reason my clients choose to work with me 👇 I have worked in their role and industry. I spent 6 years doing financial due diligence and restructuring and a further 6 years working as a private equity investor. I know the jargon I get the deadlines I understand the culture and characters It makes a massive difference to speak to someone who gets the highs and also the challenges. Especially when that person is qualified as a coach. My clients feel understood and don't have to explain what an M&A environment entails. I get what an IM is. I know what an MBO involves. But I don't use that knowledge to tell them what to do. Ahh that would be too simple. And also totally not helpful to them. Instead, we work out together: - what is holding them back - what a great life looks like to them - what they need to do to get there And by feeling understood, sharing proven tools and the perspective that I bring, we inch them closer to a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. It's often not that far removed from where they are. Except it feels much, much better. *** PS - If this sounds good - let's see if we'd be a good fit to work together. I have two intro slots left in May. Hop on over to my profile and click the link to my calendar.
