The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) has launched a new Genxt initiative, the Adviser Peer Pod, ahead of its annual national Genxt Connect Tour.
National Genxt Chair, Ben Nash, said the Adviser Peer Pod, which will be held at 7:30am in major capital cities around the country on 2 February 2017, is designed to help new and aspiring advisers build relationships with others in the Genxt community, in order to grow their networks and build their communication skills.
“The primary objective of the Adviser Peer Pod is to help connect likeminded advisers and equip them with ideas that, potentially, they can take back to implement in their own practices,” he said.
The Adviser Peer Pod will run every four months and advisers will be able to connect and share with their peers while discussing key topics in a relaxed environment over breakfast. Unlike other networking groups, the Adviser Peer Pod will place advisers into small groups and set them a series of questions to discuss.
“The first set of questions will be around the topic of influential communication, a skill critical to success for anyone working in the advice industry,” Mr Nash said. “At this session, advisers will talk through key areas around influential communication and will have the opportunity to learn from their peers.”
The Adviser Peer Pod will be hosted by Genxt State Chairs and is free for AFA members.
