During a recent Synergy webinar with the Women in Synergy peer group, Amanda Schneider and Emily Noyes, financial advisors representing the Women’s Alliance of Financial Advisors, shared practical guidance to help participants better understand their financial picture and take meaningful steps toward their goals.
Know Where You Stand
The session began with the importance of understanding your current financial situation. From income and debt to savings and retirement accounts, Amanda and Emily encouraged participants to establish a clear picture of their finances before making decisions about what comes next.
They also explored how financial priorities change throughout life. Whether you’re establishing good habits early in your career, balancing competing financial responsibilities, or preparing for retirement, understanding your options can help you make more informed choices.
Know What to Ask
Another focus of the conversation was knowing when and where to seek guidance. Amanda and Emily discussed resources available through employers, opportunities for self-directed learning, and what to consider when working with a financial professional.
The interactive Q&A gave participants an opportunity to ask questions about selecting a financial advisor, managing debt, finding educational resources, and navigating financial conversations with family members across generations.
Take the Next Step
One message carried throughout the session: You don’t need to have every financial decision figured out to start making progress.
By understanding where you stand, asking thoughtful questions, and identifying one manageable next step, you can begin building a stronger financial foundation.
Through educational opportunities like this, Synergy continues to bring people together to share knowledge, explore important topics, and support personal and professional growth.
