Click here Dear Financial Coaches and Counselors, A few weeks ago, Prosperity Now shared with the field a comprehensive survey of financial coaching and counseling to learn more about training and retention, program design and sustainability, outcomes and impact, and how coaches and counselors are compensated. There has since been a lot of change in our country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to be conscious of what the field is going through during these uncertain times, but also want to take this as an opportunity to highlight the importance and relevance of your work. Across the country, people's financial lives are being affected by the crisis and need your services now more than ever. This is a great opportunity to see what coaches are doing on the ground by learning about their day-to-day realities. Our intention is to then share back with you what we learned about compensation across the coaching field relative to coaching and counseling duties. We also hope to share back how coaches are working with clients experiencing debt-related issues. The survey is still open, and we are extending our deadline to April 30, 2020. If you have any questions, please contact Hiba Haroon or Ivan Avila.
