Financial Planning Today editor Kevin O'Donnell recently caught up with Life Planning guru George Kinder, one of the world's best known advocates for Financial Planning, about his new book, his views on the profession in 2022 and how he sees the long-term impact of Covid-19 on the way Financial Planners work.

When a client meets with a Financial Planner they want to feel that their life is special.

The pandemic has forced many of us to turn to online platforms for hosting client engagements. Meetings that may have begun with the adviser greeting their client with a handshake or perhaps a hug, offering them a cup of tea, and leading them into a welcoming setting with comfortable seating and good lighting are no longer possible.

A growth in numbers in Scotland has helped the US-based Kinder Institute of Life Planning notch up its 500th Registered Life Planner globally.
