FPA MI | Lunch & Learn Webinar
From the Inside Out: Ethics, Fraud, and the Power of Gratitude in Financial Services
Tuesday, August 12th | 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm | Virtual through Zoom
Once a trusted financial advisor, Bill now shares the hard lessons learned following a personal and professional crisis involving fraud. In this candid, research-informed session, he explores how pressure, rationalization, and misplaced trust can lead even experienced professionals off course. More than a compliance talk, this session challenges and empowers financial planners to recognize warning signs and strengthen their commitment to principled decision-making.
