AIA NZ celebrated its adviser community during the firm’s annual Peak Performance Summit. This year’s conference, on 22 September, was about ensuring advisers put their health and wellbeing first.
Nick Stanhope, AIA NZ CEO, says it’s important to equip advisers with tools they can use in all areas of their lives.
“Our adviser community is interacting with AIA customers daily, and many of them are running a business alongside providing advice to hundreds of Kiwis every year,” says Stanhope.
“That’s why it’s so important for advisers to put on their own oxygen mask before they can properly help others. We didn’t want to host a conference that told advisers how to do their job – we know they’re excellent at that.
“Instead, we wanted advisers to walk away from the Peak Performance Summit with some tools to help them better balance workloads with personal goals, manage energy levels to be more effective for family and work, or find small ways that they can live healthier, longer, better lives.”
The Peak Performance Summit was an opportunity for advisers to learn some handy tricks…
Attendees were treated to a suite of speakers including community leader and ex-professional boxer, Dave Letele.
Exercise physiologist, nutritionist, and neuroscientist, Paul Taylor motivated attendees to find a reward-feedback loop that helps them achieve their goals. His takeaway message was that action triggers motivation, and motivation is what will get people to where they want to be.
Dave Wood, an ex-paramedic took the audience through breathing exercises and shared the importance of connecting with nature.
“The Peak Performance Summit was an opportunity for advisers to learn some handy tricks from experts on both physical and mental wellbeing,” said Stanhope.
“If advisers are at their peak, then they’re best placed to get their team, their business, and their clients to their peak too.”
