WHAT IS FINANCIAL COACHING?

Financial coaches collaborate with clients to assess their goals and identify the underlying values that motivate them toward achieving their goals.

Financial coaching focuses on the client’s “why” and is a technique that many financial professionals — financial planners or financial counselors — use to support clients in taking charge of their financial choices and implementing effective action plans. Financial coaches view the client as the expert in their own life and collaborate with them to create solutions and implement an action plan that works for them.

Financial Coaching is…

  • An approach that builds upon a strong foundation of financial knowledge.
  • A relationship in which client and coach collaborate on the ground rules.
  • Client-centered goal setting.
  • Focused on behavior change.
  • Accountability between client and coach.

COACHING ESSENTIALS TRAINING: BUILDING THE SKILLS

Pre-Approved for 12 CEUs for AFCPE® and CFP® certified professionals.

We meet you where you are – supporting your professional development on your terms. You may already have a strong financial foundation and want to add coaching skills to your toolbox, or maybe you hold a coaching certification and want financial-specific coaching training. Coaching is not a replacement for financial counseling or planning, but a way of working with clients to support them in taking charge of their financial choices and implementing action plans.

Coaching Essentials Training is: Client Driven. Experiential. Interactive.

 

Training consists of:

  • 2 days, 12 hours: Live, in person or web-based. 
  • Followed by 2 web-based 1-hour group sessions with Mentor Coaches (multiple date options provided across 6-8 weeks).
  • Approximately 1-2 hours of pre-training homework.
  • Each participant may select a client of their choice for 4 one-on-one practicum coaching sessions.
  • Recorded coaching session submission.
 

Comprehensive financial knowledge is essential to be an effective financial coach. A coach without this foundation may inadvertently cause harm to clients. This is why we require all Coaching Essentials participants to demonstrate financial competency with one of the following certifications in good standing: AFC®, CFP®, ChFC®, CFA®, CPA® or AFCPE®’s Money Management Essentials course.
