AFA’s 2014 GenXt Roadshow Kicks off

The Association of Financial Advisers (AFA)’s industry-leading new-adviser event, the AFA GenXt Roadshow launched in Hobart this morning [Tuesday].

“The AFA’s theme in 2014 is INNOVATE: Think; Create; Act and the AFA GenXt Road Show, which also visits Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, is the perfect opportunity for advisers to embrace the new opportunities ahead of them in 2014,” said AFA CEO, Brad Fox.

The roadshow, now in its seventh year, presents a curriculum focused on developing high levels of advisory skills and knowledge for financial advisers and their key support staff. These events are always very welcoming and help developing advisers to build long lasting professional connections. They are based firmly on the AFA’s philosophy of ensuring a strong future of advice. Over 1,400 advisers nationally attended the event in 2013, with venues in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane completely selling out.

“The GenXt roadshow is a great way to kickstart the year.  We’ve built an amazing curriculum including an extensive workshop on Emotional Intelligence which all of the research shows is the most valued part of the adviser-client relationship. This is the skills-based practical training that today’s advisers need,” Mr Fox said.

Key presenters of other sessions include the AFA’s 2013 Rising Star, Ravi Agarwal and the AFA’s 2013 Excellence in Education Award Winner, Anne Graham.

“Ravi and Anne share stories of what is working for them as two of Australia’s most successful advisers,” Mr Fox said. “They are both outstanding examples of professional, successful, members of the AFA community and are willing to share their innovations and success to support other advisers.

“In the early part of the year it is so important to make sure you have clarity of purpose and a clear focus for the year ahead – the GenXt Roadshow is the right place to start.”
