Keynote: Leveraging your Financial Intelligence: At the Intersection of Money, Health, and Happiness
Financial intelligence is not just an industry buzzword. It has emerged as a best practice and core competency in forward-thinking financial services firms. Financial intelligence is not an innate skill, but rather a learned set of skills that can and should be developed that will lead to improved financial performance and stronger client relationships. Lennick will convey an understanding of the foundation, art, analysis, and big picture context that leads to happier clients and advisors.
