17 Aug A Mentor Can Make all the Difference in Financial Planning
Mentors Matter
Mentors aren’t just for newbies. Ashley Warne, CFP® had been working as an advisor for more than six years when she was paired with Pamela Grey. “You can sort of hit a wall of productivity,” Ashley explains. “Having someone there, saying, ‘You can do this. You can go in there. You’re qualified!” is really wonderful.”
Confidence Game
As the daughter of a longtime financial planner, Kate Starkey, CFP® grew up in the business. But even with her background, when Kate wanted to fine-tune her approach, she turned to Traci Richmond, CFP®, CDFA™, whose mother was also in wealth management. Says Kate, “Traci has instilled in me that I can do this and I will succeed.”
Coach, Role Model, Friend
Ashley notes that working with Pamela is like having “a really great emotional cheerleader in your corner, which I think is really needed in this business.” Kate adds, “Traci has been a great mentor for me. To be able to see what she’s accomplished and know that I’m a couple of steps behind her” inspires Kate every day.
