What happens when financial advisors put connection, creativity, and client experience at the center of their practice?
You get 𝗝𝗼𝗹𝘁!
I am to start this one backwards …
The only standing ovation at
#JoltConference….
🎉 was given to Cici Prsha and her team.
In a class move,
@robertsofia invited them all on stage to accept the credit they deserved.
Jolt! 2025.... started with a Jolt!…
A Jolt in the form of a fire alarm evacuating us at 1 am due to active explosions in the attached parking garage.
🌞 The next morning …
Other than the coffee and donuts, the Renaissance
@RenNashville kindly placed in the lobby and the fans around the hotel, you would have never known everyone had been awoken and on the street in the early morning hours.
🔋Robert, Diana Cabrices, and Matt Halloran bought the energy and high-voltage reminder that financial planning is about more than spreadsheets.
Financial Planning is about connection, clarity, leading with 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 and reminding us:
📘 Are you connecting with your audience?
💡 Storytelling is the most underrated skill in financial services
🎯 How do you make them feel?
🔂 That it’s about doing, about improving by putting the rep’s
🔋 JOY isn’t just a feeling; it’s a strategic advantage.
If you were at Jolt!….
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
🔨 In this closing, Robert nailed it
@SnappyKraken has created a community
A community of outliers….
But…. for an advisor who wears a t-shirt that says 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝗼𝘆?® that’s just fine.
💬 The feedback I received after sharing how we are leading with JOY at
@MitlinFinancial was touching.
And it reinforced my plan to pull back the curtain on our process.
A giant thank you to Kim Skermer for her coaching and for transforming Denise's words into a TED Talk that I was told inspired!
