Retirement Planning Specialist - Parents' Small Ongoing Support Impact

Looking for an expert for a newspaper article I’m writing an article about the financial support older parents provide to their adult children, particularly when occasional help gradually becomes a regular financial commitment. I’m interested in the smaller, ongoing contributions rather than large gifts or house deposits. The £20 here, £50 there, help with utility bills or car payments that can quietly add up. I’d like to speak with a financial adviser, retirement planning specialist or pensions expert who has encountered this situation in their work. I’m particularly interested in how common this is, the implications for parents’ own retirement finances, and what advice professionals give about setting boundaries. If this is an area you work in, or you can recommend someone, please do get in touch. Thank you!

I'm looking to speak to one more case study. - Earnings imbalances in couples. I'm looking to speak to someone who earns more or less than their partner and how they manage it. - Do you have experience of discussing your salary with colleagues? It can either be a positive story or one about how disastrous it was. - Did you get a job in an unusual way in 2026? For example, used a direct approach (telephone, going into the office) that paid off? (Already got some great stories from this but would ideally like a couple more to choose from!) - Are you a large enterprise operating a successful Global Capability Centre (GCC)? I'd love to hear from you for a Financial Times event. -- Please get in touch with me.

Finance Professionals - Career Mobility Podcast Guests

The consensus is in: Career mobility is shaped by embracing opportunities (maybe even more so if you are scared), the relationships you build along the way, having courage to support your viewpoint, but being open to change, and - no surprise to a room full of finance professionals - the optionality that comes from building your own financial security. Sprinkled on top, as an audience member prompted with a pointed question, our panel admitted that, sometimes, it’s also about good timing and just a little luck. These were the themes that stood out at the AFP YYC Career Mobility 2026 panel discussion that I had the opportunity to moderate. Thank you to our panelists Gloria Hartl, MBA, CRMP, ICD.D, Jon Wrathall, Sarah O'Connor, Travis Patzer, AFP YYC, our sponsors, and the engaged audience for a wonderful evening. A few other nuggets that we took away from the evening: - Success is leaving a place better than how you found it. - Never stop learning about yourself. - Do something that scares you every day (but make sure you can sleep at night with your decisions). - Enjoy the moment. (It doesn't come back.) Gloria Hartl, MBA, CRMP, ICD.Deven turned the tables on me when she asked what career advice would I give to my children. I admit, I was wholly unprepared to respond to one of my own questions! After some reflection this weekend, and nudged by a question from the wise Rebecca Regnier on success and balance, my answer today is this: Build a full life with intention, one that includes a career, be sure to fill it with everyone and everything you love, have courage and leave a little room for luck. As I write this, I’m reminded of the wise words that a former colleague wrote upon his retirement that I meant to share with the panel. It was something to the effect of - work hard, meet your (quarterly and annual) deadlines, but don’t miss your children’s basketball games or piano recitals. IYKYK. But sometimes, in the rush of a deal or deadline or emergency, that’s easier said than done! Even our wise panelists said that there were times when they had to make tough choices about where they spent their time but that ultimately they were present for the important ones with their family. Speaking of building a full life, if you enjoyed this discussion and would like to hear more like it, I’m launching a podcast with stories of intentional work, life and being. I’m exploring the work that goes into those moments before the next one takes shape. If you’d like to be a part of it, I'd love to hear from you - send me a message. #AFP YYC #associationforfinanceprofessionalscalgarychapter #careermobility #podcast #intentional #legermainhotel Zane Bahari-Robart Zoya Younis Farrah Talakshi (Panjwani), CTP, MBA Lukas Chiodo Jon Sweezey, CTP Jeffrey Stoy, CTP

Deaf People in UK - Organisation Failures Affecting Health & Rights

HOW MANY TIMES CAN AN ORGANISATION FAIL A DEAF PERSON BEFORE SOMEONE FINALLY HOLDS THEM ACCOUNTABLE? I want to ask Deaf people across the UK something important. What is the most shocking experience you've had with an organisation because you're Deaf? Not just an inconvenience. I mean experiences that have genuinely affected your health, safety, finances, employment, independence, dignity or basic human rights. Perhaps a bank made it impossible to access your own money because you couldn't use the telephone. A hospital failed to provide a BSL interpreter when you desperately needed to understand what was happening to your health. A government department, local council or public service repeatedly ignored your communication requirements. An employer denied you opportunities or refused reasonable adjustments. Or perhaps an airline, insurer, police force, university, housing provider or another organisation left you facing a barrier hearing people would never even have to consider. But here's what I REALLY want to know. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU TRIED TO PUT IT RIGHT? Did you complain and get nowhere? Were you passed from department to department? Were you told there was no budget, no interpreter, no alternative or simply that it was company policy? Did someone apologise, promise improvements and then do absolutely nothing? Did you have to fight for months or even years? Or did you eventually give up because the process of challenging discrimination became another barrier itself? I especially want to hear about experiences that remain unresolved. And yes, I want to know the names of the organisations involved. Not just "a bank" or "a hospital". WHICH bank? WHICH NHS Trust? WHICH council? WHICH employer? WHICH company? Tell me: 1. WHO was the organisation? 2. WHAT happened, and how seriously did it affect you? 3. HOW did they respond when you challenged them? 4. IS IT STILL HAPPENING, despite your attempts to resolve it? If you have written complaints or evidence, please mention that too. You can comment or message me privately, including in BSL. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information or naming individual staff publicly. I won't publish your personal account without your permission. I keep wondering how many Deaf people are fighting exactly the same battles against exactly the same organisations, unaware of each other. How many complaints have been closed without anything actually changing? How many organisations believe they're accessible simply because they have an accessibility policy? And how many Deaf people have stopped complaining, not because the problem was resolved, but because they were exhausted from fighting? That's what I want to understand. Please share this widely. I particularly want to hear from Deaf people whose experiences have never been taken seriously. Because a complaint being closed does not mean the discrimination has stopped. #DeafRights #BSL #Accessibility #DeafCommunity #DisabilityRights

Auto Lender Capital Markets Heads - Year-End Auto ABS & Private Credit

What prompted the conversation? How did your partner react? And what happens when you want financial protection but the law may not offer much certainty?

Feel free to DM me. #PrenuptialAgreement #PrenupsInIndia #Marriage #PersonalFinance #IndianLaw The Core

Data Professionals in Management - Nobody Told Me Moments

Monday Morning Motivation. Market Research calls! Starting the week strong. If there's one thing I love as much as running a workshop on a Monday (or, unusually, being on holiday in a beautiful place, like last week) it's getting to talk in depth to my inspiring community of data people. This week it's data people who have moved into management. We'll be chatting about those "Nobody told me that!" moments. From - the cringey meeting where you suddenly realise that most non-data people think you practise some dark art. (been there, oh yes, been there) Whether you're in finance, analysis, database, research, programing, someone will be thinking, or saying... 🤔 ..Don't trust your outputs, your methods, your analysis... 🗣️ ...Jargon 💭 ...Yebbut, you haven't got the full picture 👁️🗨️ ...Decision already made anyway To - the brilliant turnaround moment where your peers come to you first - yep been there too! Your shared stories are part of my new 'Field Notes' which will be a collection of experiences by, about and for data people in management. If you'd like your "Nobody told me that!" story to be part of it, DM me today. All anonymised and shared only as much as you want. I'd love to hear from you. #MondayMorningMotivation #FieldNotes #FreedomLab

Tech & HR Leaders - AI At Work Impact On Jobs & Hiring

Pitch Me Workplace Stories and Experts for a Fast Company Work Life Feature. I'm a finance and technology journalist. My work runs in Investopedia, TheStreet, Forbes, Inc., Benzinga, and FinanceFeeds. I'm building pitches for Fast Company's Work Life section, and I'm looking for experts, leaders and real people to build them around. Please read all of this before you pitch. Work Life covers how people actually work. The lanes I'm sourcing for right now: ➡️ AI at work: what it is really changing about jobs, teams and hiring. ➡️ Leadership and management. ➡️ Careers, career changes and getting ahead. ➡️ Productivity and how work actually gets done. ➡️ Workplace culture: hybrid and return to office, multigenerational teams, burnout. ➡️ Money at work: pay, raises, benefits and pay transparency. That list is a guide, not a fence. If you have a strong workplace story outside it, send it anyways. Bring me the idea. Tell me the story in two or three sentences and why a reader should care about it this month. What I'd need: ➡️ For experts: the credential and the research behind it. Original data, or a survey with its sample size and method. Workplace expert is not a credential. ➡️ For leaders: name, title and company, plus one specific thing you do differently and the measurable result. ➡️ For individuals: named and on the record, with real details. ➡️ About 30 minutes on a recorded Zoom call. What doesn't work: general thought leadership, five tips with nothing behind them, a product launch dressed up as a trend, and survey data with no methodology. I'm also not placing bylined guest posts. I'm reporting stories . If that's you, or you're a PR pro with clients who fit, email me at ➡️ [email redacted] No DM pitches here on LinkedIn. Email me. Two things on expectations. I pitch the editor once my sources are confirmed, so everything runs subject to editor approval, and that takes weeks, not days. And I won't reply to every pitch. If you don't hear back, it wasn't a fit this time.

Brokers, Lenders & Property Developers - Delayed Bridging Loan Exits

I’m looking for brokers, lenders and property developers who have handled a delayed bridging loan exit for a forthcoming Bridging Loan Directory feature. When a sale or mortgage refinance didn’t complete in time, what happened next? Did the borrower agree an extension, arrange replacement finance or accept a lower sale price? What did the delay cost, and did the eventual solution work? Recent examples would be particularly useful, including cases where early action avoided further borrowing. Anonymised details and approximate figures are welcome. Please message me or email [email redacted] by 10am Monday 12 October. Around 100–200 words is plenty. We’re also working with Newspage on potential wider coverage. #BridgingFinance #PropertyFinance #JournoRequest

Finance Leaders - Workplace Mental Health & Lived Experiences

Finance leaders - I want to hear your story. With this year's World Mental Health Day theme being “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”, I wanted to do something a little different on our next Tri-Talent Resourcing podcast... I’m looking to speak to finance leaders on the podcast about the reality of working in finance and the impact it can have on your mental health 🧠 The pressure of senior leadership. Long hours and constant deadlines. Managing teams while managing your own stress. These are conversations we don’t always have openly in finance. So I’d like to change that. I’m looking for finance leaders who are willing to share their real, lived experiences - what they’ve found difficult, what they’ve learned, and what they think needs to change. The point is to create a space where people can talk honestly about something that affects far more people than we probably realise. If that sounds like a conversation you’d be willing to have, drop me a DM or email me at [email redacted]. Let’s get some real voices heard 🎙️ #WorldMentalHealthDay #FinanceLeaders #MentalHealthAwareness #FinanceCareers

Small-Business Owners - Funding & Scaling Stories

Zig Ziglar said it better than I can: “If you don’t like who you are and where you are, don’t worry about it because you’re not stuck either with who you are or where you are. You can grow. You can change and can be more than you are.” Nobody likes change. It disrupts routine. I love routine — 5 am coffee, basement desk, podcast and writing before the day hits. But finances won’t change without desire and willingness. It’s a MINDSET. If you think you can’t, you won’t. If you think you can, you will. Most people will not set goals, will not build the foundation, will not create a budget. Will that be you? Only YOU can change YOU. Don’t give in to analysis paralysis. DO SOMETHING TODAY. Mindset is the first decision. Owners who believe they can take control — then act on how they scale and fund — change the game for their business and their people. That’s the energy of The Second Round guest chair, powered by Stacking Capital. What’s one action you’ll take today? We want to hear your story and share it — how you got started, how you funded it. No gimmicks, no fluff. Just the good, the bad, and the ugly. Want The Chair to share your story? Leave a comment below.

Gen Z in India - Dating Money Habits & Ghosting Over Bills

Hi everyone, I'm working on a piece that explores Gen Z's money habits when it comes to dating. A recent trend points towards the fact that Gen Z is being unable to date. Not being able to keep up with rising inflation costs, they're ghosting their dates when it comes to going out or even paying the bill. In this context, I'm looking to speak with Gen Z about their experiences regarding this -- being on either side of the story. Inputs from psychologists and financial experts are welcome as well. Please reach out in the DMs or comments if you wish to participate. This piece is for The Indian Express digital. #journorequest #genz #dating #money #finances #relationships

Founders & Small Business Owners - Mental Health & Good & Bad Days

I've been nervous to share this. There's still a stigma around mental health, and I don't want to come across as whiny or like every day is hard, because it isn't. But XL PR works in behavioral health, and I think I owe it to our clients and to all of you to be honest about how I cope in the hard moments. It's the tail end of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, so better late than never! So what do we do on the days when it DOES get that bad? When our brains and emotions are SO big and SO strong that it feels almost unbearable? My emotional regulation coach taught me something that has helped me more than I can say. When I feel isolated and hopeless and thoughts of shutting it all down start to show up, I have a card with several people written on it who I can reach out to. I talked to each of them ahead of time, told them why they're on the card, and they all agreed to answer when they get a heavy text or call from me. It takes the thinking out of the moment. I don't have to figure out what to ground myself to or let my thoughts spiral, I just start texting or calling down the list. I've only had to use it twice this year, and both times it saved my life. If you take anything from this post, please take this: your life matters. Please, PLEASE make your list before you need it. There are people who WILL answer in your hardest moments. And if you're there right now, you can call or text 988 anytime (which I've done once this year too). Which leads me to something I'm SO excited about! As XL PR moves deeper into behavioral health and behavioral finance, I'm launching a free (for now!) Substack in October called The AND Life. I'll interview business owners about their GOOD and BAD days, how they got through, and how they grounded themselves through faith or whatever carried them. Every story will lead back to a small business or PR lesson. Being an entrepreneur is HARD, and it's also REALLY GREAT. Let's talk about the AND and normalize both. Subscribe so you don't miss the first post which will be coming very soon: https://lnkd.in/ekU-g5h5 And if you're a business owner with an AND story about mental health or the good and hard days of building something, I'd love to hear from you and write your story in the newsletter to give hope to this topic that is very taboo!
