In this webinar Ryan O. Murphy, Ph. D. Global Head of Behavioral Insights at Morningstar and Samatha Lamas, Behavioral Researcher at Morningstar explored the results of their study which tested the impact of a behavioral nudge—a master list of common goals—on helping investors identify their true priorities.

By overcoming these blind spots, advisors can create more accurate and motivational financial plans for their clients.

Provides a basic approach to being able to open the discussion with clients about what their goals are - often not enough time and specifics is spent up-front on this topic during the planning process. Really like to checklist approach that provides thought starters for clients

This was an excellent presentation.. It was interesting to have the process presented of how the checklist / behavioral approach was developed..

I thought this was a good topic because financial advisors don't always go so deep in conversation. In addition, confronting the health and financial goals together in the conversation as parallel goals.
