Hi I'm Kathi
NICE TO MEET YOU
Kathi Balasek M. A.
I train financial professionals and industries in grief literacy and empathy communication. I am a coach, consultant, speaker, university lecturer and widow advocate. I teach financial professionals how to improve their grief literacy communication skills to best serve bereaved clients.
Widowhood is financial! Experiencing the loss of my husband first hand, I learned that the relationship between financial professionals and bereaved clients is pivotal. Combining 25 years of teaching, coaching and personal experience, I created Grief Smart Advisor as a tool to help professionals retain, connect and support clients experiencing loss and grief.
We will ALL experience grief and loss. Grief leadership and communication are critical now! Brand compassion, attract and retain clients and build a reputation as a grief smart company.
