The Secret Mission of Baby Boomers: Insights and Communication Tools for Professional Advisors

The entry into the second half of life comes with mixed feelings.  On the one hand forty-something adults feel a great sense of accomplishment in terms of their families and careers.  They have leveraged education, hard work, determination, and creativity to become successful.  This success is a large part of the self-confidence they feel about being able to manage the complex demands of life in the twenty-first century. 

On the other hand, the clarity of the preceding twenty years is beginning to fade as evidence mounts that major changes are lurking just around the bend.  Fading youth, changing relationships, health problems, and the undeniable aging of parents begin to transform a world of unlimited possibilities into a world of increased volatility and new dilemmas.

What do professional advisors need to know about the psychological developmental tasks of baby boomers in order to build and sustain successful relationships with this important clientele?  How will the knowledge of the “secret mission” of baby boomers better prepare professional advisors to position their products and services as “middle-age friendly?” In addition, attendees will also learn:

  1. The unappreciated complexity and challenges of the psychological currents that underlie the journey from forty-something to sixty- something.
  2. The two primary psychological developmental tasks common to all baby boomers and their profound influence on the every aspect of middle age life.
  3. The essential signaling strategies professional advisors need know to effectively connect with new baby boomer clients.

Against All Odds: Preserving Quality of Life in a 24/7 World

This presentation looks at the “clear and present danger” to quality of life posed by the 24/7 lifestyle of the twenty-first century.  Through research and stories, David Solie offers unique and compelling insights into the physical, psychological, and spiritual price we all pay trying to navigate a seemingly unending flow of complex, urgent, and unpredictable information and transactions.
