MEET YOUR TRAINER
The three seminars are live and interactive and led by Professor George Callaghan, Professor of Economics and Personal Finance, a senior lecturer specialising in the teaching of personal finance and a qualified coach.
His content-rich presentations aim to enhance your knowledge, confidence and understanding of various aspects of personal finance including taxation, pensions, savings and investments.
Your learning outcomes
Topics have been selected to help you prepare for the Financial Coach Practitioner Certificate Training and for future work with clients thereafter.
As part of the process we encourage you to keep a personal finance learning log, where you record the areas you are confident in and those which need further reflection and research.
Each seminar provides links to further sources of information on the various topics, which can be used to gain additional knowledge.
By the end of the seminar series you will...
✔ have a set of personal finance resources, including slides and useful signposting to further information
✔ be more confident in your personal finance knowledge base
✔ have identified financial topics on which you feel most comfortable coaching
✔ be better prepared for the next steps in your financial coaching journey

This begins by discussing the changing economic and social context, including the pervasive consumer culture which drives so many purchasing decisions.

This covers the important concept of compounding, before introducing different types of investments. It goes on to discuss the distinction between active versus passive investments and how a coach might discuss asset allocation with clients.
It ends with pensions, going over the different types, such as state and private pensions, defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. We also run through the most relevant tax implications associated with pensions.
This seminar ends with reflection on learning and looking forward to the third seminar.

"Well structured, appropriate level of detail, related it to context and the potential different perspectives of clients. I liked the way it was linked to how we would advise clients. The time seemed to fly by. George created a good collegiate atmosphere, as though we were in the same room."
"George is an excellent instructor; he is very personable and encouraging. It was good to have someone who 'knows his stuff' but who also has some experience as a financial coach and can put the topics into that context."
"I found the content to be rich and it covered a variety of topics and products. I enjoyed every moment. George managed to grab our attention all the time and kept the seminars interesting and enjoyable."
