ANZ Roadshows Puts Resilience at Apex
ANZ Wealth has highlighted the need for financial advisers to remain resilient as part of its APEX Inspire summit in Sydney last week.
Advisers in attendance heard from former AFL star Adam Goodes and three-time Paralympic Gold Medallist Kurt Fearnley OAM who spoke about using challenges as an opportunity for growth.
ANZ Wealth Head of Sales, Don Sillar said advisers were facing increasing pressure due to the scope of change within the advice sector which prompted the choice of speakers.
“We’re hearing daily from advisers who are grappling with the pressures of shifting customer preferences, changing remuneration models, and major technological changes,” Sillar said.
“We invited speakers who have overcome incredible adversity to share their insights on purpose, commitment and resilience in achieving real success.”
Fearnley told adviser it was easy to give up during hard times but there was strength in vulnerability.
“Advisers have faced down some tough changes that have affected how they saw their careers evolving. Now it’s time to dig deep and feel pride in what they do to rebuild their own perception of themselves,” Fearnley said.
