This webinar will look at the historical emergence of coaching and consider the place that financial coaching has in the emerging contemporary framework for understanding financial well-being and the development of financial capacity. The distinctions between financial coaching, counseling, and education will be explored. We will then examine the primary role and tasks of the coach and explore the common core elements that underlie various coaching approaches. Finally, we will examine common core coaching techniques, as well as explore how some of these can be usefully incorporated into financial counseling and financial education efforts.

The webinar will be followed by an hour-long Twitter chat. Join us as we discuss the questions outlined here on Twitter at 1 p.m. ET using #MFLNchat. Mr. Buchko will join the chat to address participant’s questions and to delve deeper in to the topic of financial coaching.
