Are you a Financial Planner who knows that the traditional approach is no longer enough to attract ideal clients?
Do you want to keep your clients so happy, that they refer new clients to you?
Conversations on investment returns alone are a thing of the past!
What if you could learn new skills to keep you relevant and to help you to add more value to your client's lives?

With skills and accredited methods to coach individuals and teams, to clarify their dreams and goals, find lasting motivation, create solid action plans and leave your coaching session inspired to take action.


Financial Life Coach


We're looking to partner with 15 visionary Financial Planners, to start a new wave of sought after industry leaders.

Distinguish yourself from your peers with the right skills to serve your clients better.
Are you frustrated with:
  • Clients not buying-in to your advice and sabotaging the financial plan?
  • Not being able to help clients with their inner obstacles like fear, self-doubt and procrastination?
  • Offering virtually the same financial planning services as your competitors - and having no competitive edge?
Would you also like help with clients who:
  • Constantly experience fear, panic and avoidance when it comes to their money?
  • Sabotage their plans by stopping their savings and drawing from their investments?
  • Listen to friends when it comes to investment advice?
  • Equate your value in their life purely on investment returns?
If you long to add meaningful value to your client conversations and want the master skills to give you a competitive edge... then talk to us.

THE STATUS QUO WAY
Where financial planners are taught to offer mainstream financial planning but very little more.
  • “Money” is seen as the client rather than the person.
  • The focus is on products (which are in an ocean of competitors).
  • Clients measure your value by returns in their investments alone.
  • The core service is a transaction.
  • As a planner you sole role is advice giving.

THE INNERLIFESKILLS WAY

Transforming financial planners into being able to offer a NEW CLIENT CONVERSATION.
  • The “Person” is your client.
  • The focus is on coaching your client (which gives you a competitive edge and unique distinction in the market).
  • Clients value your mentoring, relationship and the experience you offer.
  • The core service is meaningful life and financial planning.
  • As a planner your role is advice + coach + mentor.

The InnerLifeSkills programme with Colleen-Joy and Kim opened up a whole new journey for me and my clients.

Equipped with the right skills, I am now able to hear their stories from my heart, relate to their lives more meaningfully and I am able to coach them through their life transitions.

My relationship with clients have changed to more than just Financial Planner. The Life Planning process has added immense value; my clients feel “heard” and we talk about the dreams they have for their lives and everything they want to achieve with their money.

The Financial Plan makes much more sense if you know what you are saving for. I have found a renewed joy in my work as Planner and feel that I am adding true value to the lives of my clients.

PAT BLAMIRE
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®

The skills learnt with Colleen-Joy and Kim in coaching and Life Planning have helped me to form deeper and more meaningful connections with my clients.

Having courageous conversations, where the client feels safe to share personal details of their lives with no judgement, makes for a beautiful planning experience for both the client and Planner.

Learning the skill of having empathy whilst maintaining a professional stance has been a game-changer.

These skills have given me the confidence to connect with my clients and mentor them through the process, in spite of any differences we may have. I now feel that I am adding real value.
