Strategic Wealth Partners Hosts 4th Annual Women, Wealth & Wisdom: Your Prosperity Picture

More than 70 women gathered for our 4th Annual Women, Wealth & Wisdom luncheon at Northmoor Country Club in Highland Park in November. It was an honor to have Lisa Kueng from Invesco present ‘Your Prosperity Picture,’ an activity that she and Ellen Rogin developed based on their book, Picture Your Prosperity.

“Our goal has been to present new ideas to help you become centered and confident with the direction of your lives – financial and otherwise,” SWP Principal Ashley Bebeau, CFP®, explained. This past year, the ‘Your Prosperity Picture’ exercise allowed the attendees the opportunity to visualize the direction of their lives in a very tangible way.

The activity began with the attendees creating their vision by viewing a series of pictures and placing them on a board divided into four quadrants: more money, less money, sooner in life, and later in life. This exercise allowed the group to visualize their dreams and the direction of their personal and financial lives. With the vision defined, Kueng guided the guests through steps to help bring each picture into reality.

We are thankful to everyone who attended the event. We hope that it was an informative and insightful beginning to ‘Your Prosperity Picture.’

Truthfully, I think of all my clients as family and encourage them to think the same of me. It’s important to have that level of trust and communication to take the same care of their families as I do of my own.

Enhancing Employee Retention with Nonqualified Plans
One key to business stability and growth is retaining top talent in an organization. The shock of key employees leaving can reverberate through a company impairing morale while potentially missing key profit target achievement. One way that a company can incent key members to stay for the long haul is to reward them for successful goal achievement and their dedicated service over time with a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (NQDC).
