Back by popular demand! Columbia University’s Master of Professional Studies in Wealth Management program invites you to participate in a virtual conversation with three leading experts in the fields of financial psychology and the psychology of financial planning.

Topics of Discussion Include:

  • Cross-cultural planning - CFP is a global designation. Many high-net-worth families are global families. How should advisors work with people from different backgrounds?
  • Positive psychology in financial planning - why and how this movement matters to financial planners? How should advisors incorporate solution-focused techniques into financial planning conversations and discovery interviews?
  • Adaptive role of the financial planner in the face of AI - what we expect and what advisors can do to get ahead/be more prepared for the future?
  • Training recommendations on financial psychology and positive psychology - how and where can advisors find additional training in these areas and what this means to their business practices, scalability, and services.

Panelists:

  • Dr. Jim Grubman, an internationally recognized family wealth consultant and the winner of the 2021 Family Wealth Report award for Outstanding Thought Leadership.
