    Today's episode delves into the concept of "Acclivity" and the significance behind my choice of this term. Career growth is like climbing a hill, and the "Acclivity" mindset involves a continuous pursuit of upward movement and personal development. The metaphor of an incline is compelling in representing a career, as it conveys the notion that progress often involves effort, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. Just as climbing a hill requires determination and resilience, so too does advancing in one's career.Moreover, I highlight the role of coaching as a crucial catalyst for success. Just as a climber may benefit from guidance and support while navigating a challenging ascent, individuals can significantly enhance their career trajectories through the insights, encouragement, and strategic advice a skilled coach provides. With the right mindset and support, the career growth journey becomes attainable and a rewarding and fulfilling endeavor.Dr. Loren M.

    René Nourse, CFP®, is the Founder/Chief Executive Officer, Wealth Advisor. After 25 years as a financial advisor in the corporate world, René left a major firm in June 2012 to launch Urban Wealth Management Group.She is a frequent guest speaker and contributor on the topic of women and finance and is also recognized as a trailblazer and financial expert. René sensed that a shift was taking place in the financial services industry. Her intention was to build a platform that focused on strategic financial planning alongside investment management to better serve clients. But it was her personal experience, her mom's challenges in her life, and her passing in 2017 that truly inspired her to focus the practice on supporting the needs of women. The longer she was in the business, the more she realized that women were being overlooked and underserved. The fact is that the majority of financial advisors are men and don't realize the importance of engaging the wives, significant others or even other female family members in the investment and financial guidance process. Women were not being serviced appropriately, so she initiated a platform to focus on the special needs of women. René discusses the unique challenges that women who are often multitasking with careers and family face and how women are leveraging resources, finances, and wealth by making friends with their assets.
