Retirement planning is never a one-size-fits-all proposal, but when it comes to strategies for women versus men in creating long-term income and security, things get even more complicated.

Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at 6 PM EST Speak up! Do you need to speak with a manager or colleague about an uncomfortable topic? Are you emotionally attached to this topic and/or does the outcome personally impact you and/or your career? It is difficult and intimidating to speak up, express our feelings, and address issues. We tend to either let our work speak for us, react out of frustration, or tiptoe around the subject. In our final session, we will share tools and tips that will help you game-plan your approach to difficult conversations. We’ll build on material learned in “Setup!” and “Show up!” so be sure to check out those sessions too!
Join Nicole Kalil for a workshop on The Confidence Con: The Lies, The Truth, and How You Build Your Confidence. Too many people believe that confidence is either something you have, or you don’t. It’s viewed as a fixed character trait rather than what it is: a skill that can be developed. What would you do with more confidence? Who would you be? You can change the trajectory of your life, the decisions you make, the risks you take, and the dreams you chase… all with a little more confidence.
In our ever-changing world, we developed social media platforms so that you can stay connected with advisors like yourself. The opportunity to connect on your platform of choice is available, as we need as many allies as possible. So, let’s get social.
