Get To Know Your Team

The Global Financial Steward® (GFS) designation is the financial service industry’s first leadership and stewardship designation.  As a Global Financial Steward we undergo extensive training utilizing a new body of research called Leader Metrics® which provides a framework that can be used to substantiate multiple professional standards of care including fiduciary, governance and project management.

It guides us and has many components, including:

  • Managing all of our current resources with wisdom and integrity
  • Consistently educating ourselves with knowledge from reliable sources
  • Considering how and why our decisions impact those around us
  • Removing the fears and myths and masks that stymie our intentions
  • Understanding the relationship between money and other areas of our lives
  • Taking personal accountability for how we gather and use our financial resources – money, tangible assets, human capital (earnings potential), time, legacies, and more
  • Invoking universal abundance with respect and responsibility
  • Learning to view money as a currency, a tool, without judgment labels attached
