My Advice To Someone Considering Becoming a Financial Counselor/Coach: It’s easy to want to give the client the answer or the fix, especially if it’s clearly apparent to you. Guiding someone to their own answers, while more time consuming, has a greater chance of sticking.
My way of “Meeting People Where They Are”: Literally, meet them where they are! Use technology to afford people with busy schedules or transportation challenges the same opportunities. Give people the option to participate in-person or virtually.
