Genxt set to inspire the new generation of advisers

From AFA - Association of Financial Advisers

Matthew Hawkins

The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) will roll out its new look AFA Genxt Connect Tour in all major capital cities from 9-18 February.

AFA Genxt National Chair Matthew Hawkins said the tour aims to inspire the emergence of change leaders in the financial advice profession.

“The Genxt Connect Tour agenda brings knowledge and implementation together in an environment that encourages innovation. We want those in our profession who understand the need for change, the need to do things differently, to be empowered with the confidence to create their own future as a professional financial adviser,” Mr Hawkins said.

This year’s keynote speaker is business coach and Founder of Audere Coaching and Consulting, Stewart Bell. Mr Bell will present the case as to why there has never been a better opportunity for advice firms to create their own future, and how Silicon Valley success stories hold the key to solving the problems that are holding advice businesses back.

The Genxt Connect Tour has been built to include workshop sessions where advisers will have the opportunity to take the knowledge being shared throughout the sessions and build plans and actions that they can immediately implement into their advice and business approach.

Other sessions featured at the AFA 2016 Genxt Connect Tour include expert insights from Chris Unwin of Chris Unwin Training and Consulting Services, and Joint Managing Director of Netwealth, Matt Heine. Mr Unwin will reveal how Genxt advisers can motivate GenY clients to understand the value of life insurance and take action to implement cover, while Mr Heine will unveil an innovative approach to unlocking client psychographics, investment strategy, and business opportunities. The program is also supported by a number of award winning advisers sharing their experiences on creating success as an adviser.
