SUMMARY:Rewriting the Narrative: Helping Clients Believe They Can Build Wealth
DESCRIPTION:In this CE-eligible webinar\, Tim Maurer\, CFP®\, RLP®\, will examine how personal narratives\, money scripts\, and emotion-driven decision-making influence financial behavior\, particularly for low- to moderate-income individuals. Drawing from behavioral finance and narrative psychology\, this session explores how clients’ internal stories about money are formed—and how those stories can either constrain or expand wealth-building potential. \nParticipants will learn how to recognize common money narratives rooted in shame\, identity\, and past experience\, and how to use intentional\, narrative-based communication to help clients develop a more realistic and empowering view of their financial future. The session emphasizes practical techniques for reframing self-talk\, setting progress-based goals\, and helping clients see a credible path forward—while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. \nThis webinar provides financial professionals with actionable tools to support confidence\, clarity\, and steady progress in client relationships where belief—not information—is often the primary barrier to long-term financial improvement. \nPresenter: Tim Maurer\, CFP®\, RLP® \nFriendly reminder: We recommend completing all registration steps at least 24 hours in advance to ensure access to the live webinar.

SUMMARY:FPA Connect: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Practical Implications for Clients
DESCRIPTION:The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) introduced sweeping changes with meaningful implications when it comes to planning for our clients.

In this session\, we’ll cut through the noise and focus on the provisions that are most likely to impact clients today\, and in the years ahead. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of key planning opportunities\, potential pitfalls\, and how to thoughtfully communicate these changes to clients in a way that builds trust and confidence. \nPresenter: Claire Thornton CFP®\, MsT\, founder of Hyla Financial \nFree FPA/AFCPE members \nFriendly Reminder: The link and recording for this webinar are for your personal use as a registered attendee.

SUMMARY:Uncovering Hidden Motivators
DESCRIPTION:Even the most sound financial advice can hit a standstill when a client’s underlying motivations remain unspoken. This workshop equips you with a tactical framework to identify when an unexpressed need is driving a financial decision and provides questioning strategies needed to bring those motivations to light. Through real-world modeling and active listening practice\, you will learn how to shift the conversation from a focus on the “what” to a focus on the person\, fostering a true partnership that empowers clients to reach their goals with clarity and confidence. \nFriendly reminder: We recommend completing all registration steps at least 24 hours in advance to ensure access to the live webinar.

SUMMARY:Financial Considerations for Exceptional Family Members of Military Service Members
DESCRIPTION:First\, we’ll level-set on core estate planning concepts—not from a legal drafting perspective\, but from a counseling and client guidance standpoint. The goal is to strengthen how you identify planning gaps and educate clients effectively. \nNext\, we’ll examine how military benefits intersect with estate planning decisions. As you know\, programs like TRICARE and the Survivor Benefit Plan can create both opportunities and risks\, depending on how they’re structured within a broader plan. \nWe’ll also define Special Needs Trusts in practical terms—focusing on how they function\, when they’re appropriate\, and how to recognize when a client may need a referral to a qualified attorney. From there\, we’ll walk through common planning breakdowns that we frequently see in practice—particularly around beneficiary designations and unintended impacts on means-tested benefits. \nAnd finally\, we’ll translate all of this into actionable counseling strategies—how you can guide conversations\, spot red flags\, and support clients in taking appropriate next steps within your scope. \nThe goal is to equip you not just with knowledge\, but with practical application—so you can confidently support military families navigating these more complex planning situations. \nFriendly reminder: We recommend completing all registration steps at least 24 hours in advance to ensure access to the live webinar. \n
