The New Approach to Retirement Planning: part 2 {PFP Section}
Being in the people business of personal financial planning often requires shifting from an expert with all the answers to a coach who ask questions and listens. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, Mackey McNeill, CPA/PFS, gives you the framework she uses for her first meeting with her retirement clients, including:
- Asking open ended questions to get the conversation started and active listening
- Addressing the fear that comes with money discussions head on
- Setting a frame by laying out the game plan, your role, and the client’s role
- Encouraging the client to set intentions that guide the financial plan forward
