Home >> Professional Advisors Training - Family Wealth Counseling
Since the mid-1990’s, Jay Link has helped to re-shape the estate and financial planning industry through the Family Wealth Counseling process. This process is defined in Link’s book Family Wealth Counseling: Getting to the Heart of the Matter and through his professional training programs with hundreds of financial professionals. The idea that an effective estate planning process should focus primarily on the “soft” (human and spiritual) side of life and not the “hard” (financial and technical) side of life was transformational in the early 80s when Link began his career. Since then, he has worked alone and with others to raise billions of dollars that are on their way to the Kingdom through his influence with advisors and his work with clients.
