Episode Summary
Just how important is the human side of advice?
It doesn’t take long when working with human beings and their money to recognize that this job takes more than just technical knowledge.
It requires an understanding of behavior, psychology and communication.
It’s why I heard for years advisors say things like, “Sometimes I feel like I’d be better off with a degree in psychology than finance.”
But, just how important is it? How much difference does it actually make?
Unfortunately, it’s really hard to quantify or measure the impact of the human side in any meaningful way using data.
Fortunately, data isn’t the only way to measure impact.
We can also measure the impact through stories.
In this episode, we have 7 advisors from around the world share how the human side has forever changed their clients’ lives and the trajectory of their business.
