There has probably never been a time when more Americans needed more help understanding what money is and how it works than today. For most people, clearing the emotional hurdles to intelligent money management is a lot trickier than learning the technical aspects. If you want to learn both these skillsets, and be able to help others take effective charge of their financial affairs, please look into what our colleagues at the Financial Independence Institute have to offer!

Because of its international leadership in the field of Emotional Intelligence, Collaborative Growth has been chosen to certify all Certified Financial Coaches™ in the Bar-On EQI. Our articles provide more information. The credential of CFC-I™ (designating the ICF Standards Division) is a hybrid which elegantly bridges the professions of coaching and finance, recognizing an individual who is highly skilled in emotional intelligence, and thoroughly familiar with the workings of the financial industry. They are specially trained to assist their clients in transforming their relationship with money -- what it is, how it works, and how to use it as an effective tool for building true wealth.
