The Family Conversation supports Advisor engagement with their most important clients, clients facing retirement with accumulated assets who need the most help. These clients are the ones most at risk of going to a competitor. For this program, we’ve duplicated best practices of top Advisors to help your firm retain client relationships and build trust.

Steve Gresham, through his work within his own company, The Execution Project, and his stewardship of the Next Chapter initiative and The Alliance for Lifetime Income is undoubtedly the financial services leading voice in all things related to the changing face of retirement planning. After having Steve address our Raymond James advisors several times related to this topic, I can attest that Steve is a powerful presence via his presentation style, his thoughtful narrative, and the ability to focus on the most relevant points leading to actionable ideas.Fred Moody. CEO, Network Software.
Steve Gresham has excelled as a presenter both internally to senior corporate executives and externally to financial industry audiences on behalf of the Alliance for Lifetime Income.

His clarity of mission is persuasively communicated through his speaking engagements and we eagerly look for opportunities to feature Steve as a public speaker.Jean Statler CEO Alliance for Lifetime Income
Steve possesses a unique, and far-reaching perspective into the future of retirement that resonates with the sharpest minds in the financial services industry. His leadership with the Money Management Institute at our largest events for over two decades has helped industry leaders reshape and refocus their approach on the real-life challenges of an investor's future.Arlen Oransky Executive Vice President Money Management Institute
I’ve known Steve Gresham for more than 20 years and he’s been a warrior and a winner throughout his career. He’s now taking on his most important challenge so far – helping Americans from every walk of life retire with independence, security, purpose and dignity. I am consistently struck with how he attracts the attention of leading corporate CEOs, who in turn have the armies and the persistence to help bring a new model of retirement – and retirement planning – to life.Ken Dychtwald, PhD, psychologist, gerontologist, author and CEO of Age Wave
Steve is the ultimate pro focused on doing the right thing for clients and your business. A true thought leader who provides actionable insights and guidance. always worth reading and listening to.Michael Dieschbourg, Partner and Owner, Alpha Capital Family Office
We had a wide audience, so its tough to cover a topic that would resonate with everyone. But, I think our speaker did a nice job.-Attendee
