Do your Financial Counselors feel equipped to engage students with confidence?
Your Financial Counselors are your ambassadors.
They represent you and your program, and they may be the first people your students have ever opened up to about their personal finances. They need to be approachable experts.
While your counselors may be prepared for one-on-one sessions, do they feel confident to deliver engaging and memorable financial education presentations? Presentations that make attendees excited to follow-up and access your financial education resources?
Let’s help them have an even bigger impact on students…
Hi! I’m Colin! And I’m on a mission to get educators and students talking about money!
I have spent my 10+ year speaking career using humor, storytelling, and authenticity to create connection through entertaining and approachable financial education.
And now I’m here to teach your financial counselors how they can approach the taboo subject of money with a sense of humor and a sense of hope.
Let’s equip your Financial Counselors to deliver unforgettable messages that get students to show up, open up, and follow up!
Some Specific Challenges Financial Counselors Face…
- “Particularly in a Zoom environment, it has been difficult to engage with the audience and get a sense of their reactions.”
- “My challenge with getting engagement in presentations is wanting to do better reading the audience and giving them breaks and check-ins so it’s not just way too much information!”
- “When giving presentations, my challenge is around being more engaging. It can be really difficult when I feel like I am just giving info and I’m not sure if people are engaged.”
Testimonials from Financial Counselors AFTER the Training
Our training with Colin had a lot of great audience engagement and interaction throughout, which not only made the information more memorable, it gave me a practical example of the skills I can use in future presentations.
I liked how this training wasn’t just a bunch of fluffy terms – I learned new tips and tricks I can apply in our actual work, and in specific instances in workshops. I really appreciated that, along with Colin’s positive energy and interest in us.
I really enjoyed the strategies to connect with people, and the idea that our financial advice should come from a place of concern and non-judgement. I can’t wait to connect more with my audience, knowing that sharing about ourselves inspires others to share about themselves.
Here’s how I can support your Financial Counselors:
