GAME PLAN SESSION: Building Valuable Advice Careers Six Weeks at a time
You can’t deliver valuable advice to clients if you don’t have a valuable plan for your own career development. These six-week game-planning sessions are designed for every team member implementing Certainty Advice.
In these sessions, you’ll:
- Share your real implementation experiences with other team members from other firms
- Set practical short and long-term objectives that align with your role and circumstances
- Understand your best next steps and outcomes with others on similar skill paths.
Like the plans teams produce for clients, team members need their own clear and valuable development plans.

CLIENT-ONLY EVENT
“MAKING YOUR PLANS #1 PRIORITY” – CERTAINTY DIRECTORS ROUNDTABLE
This session is a focused roundtable for founders and directors to step back and assess their own progress—not their clients’, their own.
It’s a chance to pressure-test your plan, your financials, your lifestyle outcomes, and whether the returns match the effort and risk you’re carrying. Surrounded by like-minded peers, you’ll compare paths, share challenges in a confidential setting, and reset your next moves with clarity.
Simple goal: ensure you’re on track to build what you set out to build.
This session is intended for FOUNDERS & DIRECTORS only.
