EP#23 Empowering Advocates: Being a Financial Abuse Specialist 02/28/2024

EP#23 Empowering Advocates: Being a Financial Abuse Specialist Join Jenny on the Jenesis Gem Podcast as she welcomes Michelle Hoskins from in London to discuss a vital yet often overlooked topic: financial abuse. Michelle sheds light on the role financial advisers can play when encountering clients experiencing financial abuse and economic harm, emphasising its global prevalence across all demographics. Trigger warning: This episode addresses sensitive content related to financial abuse, with a focus on providing support and resources for financial advisers confronted with this issue. Michelle explains the concept of financial abuse and its alarming prevalence, outlining the pathway to the creation of the Financial Abuse Specialist Certification in collaboration with Australian Financial Adviser Amanda Cassar. Jenny engages Michelle on the steps financial advisers can take to obtain certification in this field and highlights key red flags to watch for. In scenarios where a client is clearly experiencing abuse, both domestic and economic, Michelle advises on immediate actions, including encouraging the client to contact the authorities if in immediate danger. She provides valuable resources and organisations for support, emphasising the importance of specialised assistance in complex cases of domestic abuse. MH: The first thing to do is to identify if your client is in any immediate danger. If so, encourage them and/or support them to phone the police. It is key that you do not put yourself in any immediate danger, but if this is the case, you can also call the police for yourself if you feel you are not safe. Check out Michelle's Standard's International Financial Abuse - Useful Resources guide (available on the Jenesis website ) or head to the website. In addition, encourage and support your client to reach out to a friend, family member, work colleague or, line manager or even their GP. Domestic abuse is a complex area and needs to be supported by specialists and experts in these areas. As they are your client, please make sure that you reassure them that you are here to help them and support them through this without any judgment.

Disclaimer: If you should feel that you, or someone you know, is in immediate danger, please call the Police on 000 or call 1800RESPECT, a 24/7 hotline and speak with someone today. /episode/index/show/e9480c21-0e5c-4310-ba18-96d3fbb8d090/id/30130763

EP#21 Someone Has To Be The Most Expensive 11/16/2023

EP#21 Someone Has To Be The Most Expensive In this captivating episode of Jenesis Gems, your host, Jenny Pearse, welcomes a true visionary, Andrew Griffiths - The Entrepreneurial Futurist, accomplished author, and an all-around great guy. Together, they embark on a profound exploration of Andrew's latest book, "Someone Has to Be the Most Expensive, Why Not Make It You." Andrew's journey as an entrepreneur and business owner began at an astonishingly young age. He boldly acquired his first business, a dive shop, at just 17 years old, setting the stage for his remarkable career. As a true entrepreneurial spirit, he readily admits to making all the expected mistakes and surviving the rollercoaster ride of small business. This early experience shaped everything that followed. Drawing from his vast experiences, Andrew authored "101 Ways to Market Your Business," a book that marked the beginning of an extraordinary 25-year journey. His key message resonates with many: "I help people of substance to build businesses of substance." He understands that navigating the uncertainties of small business ownership can be challenging and, in his own words, "If you can't deal with a lack of certainty, then maybe small business is not for you." His empathy for fellow small business owners stems from having weathered the ups and downs himself. One critical issue that Andrew tackles in his book, despite its focus on being the most expensive, is the concept of self-worth. He acknowledges that this issue often manifests itself in the world of business. While his book advocates for positioning oneself as the most expensive, it's about understanding the sliding scale of value and pricing. Andrew recognises that different strategies work for different people, and he's here to guide individuals in finding the approach that best aligns with their unique strengths. Join Jenny Pearse and Andrew Griffiths in this enlightening episode of Jenesis Gems and learn how to embrace change, find your unique value, navigate the challenges of small business, and confront the concept of self-worth in the world of entrepreneurship. Andrew Griffiths specialises in future-proofing businesses across virtually every industry and in every corner of the planet. With 13 bestselling books sold in 65 countries (and he has just released his 14th book) and a client base that includes organisations such as the European Union, CBS, Hewlett Packard, Hertz and Telstra, to mention just a few of the 500 organisations he has worked with, he is clearly sought after to provide advice and wisdom for the smallest of businesses to the largest of organisations. Andrew’s advice is a combination of street-smart wisdom, practical concepts and productive triggers, derived from the hard-learned lessons with his own trial and error, as well as years of close observation and identification of the characteristics shared by both the really successful and the really unsuccessful. /episode/index/show/e9480c21-0e5c-4310-ba18-96d3fbb8d090/id/28608548
