Much has been written about how financial professionals should approach women clients — but in fact, these lessons can also be applied to all clients to promote better outcomes.

In this episode of the Shares podcast, Wealth Management Certified Professional® (WMCP®) Program Director Michael Finke, PhD, CFP® joins Jean Chatzky for a conversation on how financial professionals can specifically tailor their client approach to suit women at any stage of life, including planning with their spouse, as single individuals, or in divorced or widowed situations. In addition, they examine how making financial planning more personable and making client goals central to the planning process can create better outcomes for both advisors and clients while building more trusting planning relationships.
