Your finances: Three Key Questions to Ask
By Laura Medigovich

"Feelings are our music. Music has feelings," George Kinder told me. This is the type of comment one might expect from a conductor at a symphony. But I wasn't at the symphony.

He was highlighting the importance of being able to empathize with the feelings our clients might have about money, especially painful financial experiences.

A few weeks ago I attended my local Institute of Financial Planning meeting. There was nothing unusual about that but the number of other people who turned up was unusual. It was one of the best-attended meetings I had been to, and only people such as George Kinder and Maria Nemeth have pulled in bigger audiences.

But he still managed to attract a record crowd and I guess the topic had a lot to do with it – the talk was entitled How to Persuade Anyone to do Anything. Read more
