Models of support

This course examines three different models of support which you can add to your toolbox for when you’re working with clients.

We will cover Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the GROW model and SMART goal setting. Financial Mentors will find all three models useful in different situations, and with practice you’ll learn when best to apply them.
