AFA launches ‘peer pod’ for adviser relations
Ahead of its annual Genxt Connect Tour, the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) is focusing on relations between its advisers, launching an adviser peer pod program with the aim of helping members build communication skills and enhance their network communications.
National Genxt chair, Ben Nash, said: ""The primary objective of the Adviser Peer Pod is to help connect likeminded advisers and equip them with ideas that, potentially, they can take back to implement in their own practices".
"Advisers will talk through key areas around influential communication and will have the opportunity to learn from their peers."
The peer pod would run every four months and take the form of small group discussions held over a breakfast.
"The first set of questions will be around the topic of influential communication, a skill critical to success for anyone working in the advice industry," Nash said.
AFA would launch the initiative on 2 February in major capital cities across the country.
