The Personal Finance Society (PFS) is set to launch a new a new podcast mini-series, entitled ‘Wealth and Women’ this September.
In Wealth and Women, hosts will share their experiences of getting to the top, tips for anyone trying to break into the profession, and advice for employers and bosses looking to make the most of female talent.
With a new episode launching every Thursday until the end of September, Emma Hall, Hazel Bowen, Alina Burlacu and Tracy Brookes will discuss myths about financial planners, encouraging more women into the financial planning profession, breaking into the financial planning profession and more.
The mini-series also delves into topics such as the differences between advising men and women, the female client opportunity, negotiating pay rises, the curse of the super-successful, and maternity/paternity leave.
Don MacIntyre, interim CEO of the Personal Finance Society, said: “Financial planning is only 6 percentage points ahead of Formula racing when it comes to female representation.
“While the famously male-dominated motorsport now has the F1 Academy to propel female drivers and reports 40% of its audience to be women, there has been little conversation about how our profession can attract female talent and position them to excel.
“With ‘Wealth and Women’, we are opening up that conversation and inviting everyone in the financial planning community to join the discussion currently taking place on the PFS LinkedIn page.”
