Press Release Summary: Global online community for female financial advisors, LadyAdvisor.com, provides a wealth of resources for those women on the front lines of the economic downturn in the U.S.
Press Release Body: Nobody is working harder right now than those on the front lines of the finance industry: financial advisors. During this historic time of economic uncertainty and volatility on Wall Street, financial advisors are logging long hours in an uphill battle to keep their clients calm and informed. At the same time, these advisors are under an enormous amount of stress, and there are limited places where they can turn for support.
Luckily for women advisors, there is LadyAdvisor.com, a global online resource founded by Kirsten Lewis, former financial advisor and Citi Smith Barney branch manager.
"We have seen increased traffic and have had more registrations and participation during the last few weeks than ever before," remarks Lewis. She adds, "It has been amazing to see the thirst for advice, support and wisdom during these times. Members are logging in first thing on Monday mornings to see what new resources are available to guide them through this rough patch."
From its conception, Lady Advisor was intended to be a supportive resource for female financial advisors who are looking to build their businesses. It has quickly become that and more. Lady Advisor is a hub where advisors go to obtain expert advice, to continue their quests for the ultimate work/life balance, and most recently, to help them manage their businesses during financial turbulence. Lady Advisor has come along at exactly the right time.
Lady Advisor is continually sourcing experts who can further support members and add to the website's vast list of resources. As an example, Kathleen Kingsbury, an expert in the emotions surrounding money, is currently hosting tele-classes, online coaching and a regular blog column for members. She is teaching members how to talk with clients during these rough economic times and is providing advice on dealing with client blame and fear.
Another of these experts is Kristin Wehner, an expert in maintaining health and wellness while dealing with stress, specifically in the field of financial services. Also available is a nutritionist and well-being specialist who advises members on how and what to eat during times of high stress. All these experts are active in the Lady Advisor community and are happy to answer questions and discuss concerns brought forward by members.
For female advisors with a limited amount of time to spend at LadyAdvisor.com, recorded interviews with experts provide convenient and timely advice for managing a business in the financial field, and include coping strategies for the high stress levels experienced by advisors and their clients during times like these. Mindy Diamond, president of one of the top recruiting firms on Wall Street, Diamond Consulting, recently recorded an interview for Lady Advisor discussing the recent M&A deals and consolidations on Wall Street and how this affects women financial advisors who are considering changing firms or working with a recruiter to explore new opportunities.
In addition to these expert resources, the interactive discussion forums host active discussions between members offering support and advice to each other, which is a valuable resource in itself.
At a time like this, having exclusive access to top advisors, a wide range of experts and high-class coaches can make a significant difference in the life and career of a female financial advisor.
