In this month's Howwow we'll be sharing practical tips and experience on how to build and run a paraplannning team. This is perfect for people who are:

Part of a team already and looking for tips on how other teams work well

Paraplanners looking at this as a career development option

Our panel will focus on key areas such as:

Relationship management & development (between adviser, director, paraplanner, administrator, client - contracting)

Dealing with tricky customers, advisers, team members

Developing your own skills as a team leader

Getting buy in from the business owners/advisers and the other paraplanners for your role

Start getting all your questions ready as our panel will be on hand to answer.

We'll be joined by Rachael Hurdman, founder of Arch inspire. Rachael has over 20 years’ experience within Financial Services working for Standard Life, AXA and Aegon. Today she works with a number of Financial Services clients supporting them to grow and develop with a key focus on developing individuals at all levels within the business. She has vast experience and expertise in building, leading and managing teams and works closely with Paraplanner teams and managers within Financial Services.

Plus giving the paraplanner perspective are Powwow regulars Susan Pringle, Hugh Johnson, Jonny Stubbs, Dan Atkinson, Caroline Stuart and Richard Allum.

Our panel will join us on Wednesday 25 July, at 1pm for this hour-long online chat.

Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.

On the day of the Howwow just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.

On the tech side of things. Viewing the Howwow on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox work best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.

Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.

Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the Howwow,  book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.

Can I suggest a Howwow topic or be on the panel?

Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.

You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.

There isn't an upcoming Howwow listed, when will the next one be?

Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunchtime (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.

Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.

Powwows vs Howwows - what's the difference?

Here's the Powwow lingo.  Powwows are informal gatherings designed by paraplanners for paraplanners to exchange views, learn things, fix things and share things.

Got that? But there's more. Where Powwow gatherings are on a number of topics,  Howwows are for those times when we want to focus on ONE topic in particular and, in depth.

Sometimes we meet in person,  and sometimes we just like a good chinwag online.  Enter Howwows Online.

You can find out more about Powwows or see a full list of all events here.

Actually, my question was on something else

Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to how@paraplannerspowwow.co.uk.

One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?

Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on Powwow happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting.  We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
