In this episode Tara Sutton, State Director at BT, speaks with Kathy Havers of Viridian Advisory. Kathy's career has spanned almost 25 years, and she discusses the need for diversity in the industry to allow clients to find an adviser with shared values – someone 'just like them'. For those thinking a career in financial advice is all about the numbers, Kathy proves that people are at the core of everything she does. Kathy lives by the mantra “you have not truly lived until you have done something wonderful for someone who can never possibly repay you”. Kathy brings her life experience to the forefront and speaks to us about how empathy, continual education and being community minded has shaped a fulfilling advice career.
