SUMMARY:Conversations With Leaders - Are you ready for unexpected life transitions?
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker\, Marc Séguin\, is the author of “Advocacy in Aging”\, which focuses on wealth management and health care planning for the end-of-life years. The author was inspired by real-life stories. \nWe’re all living longer\, which increases the likelihood of living with reduced abilities\, due to natural aging\, events or illness. By planning for the unexpected and building a support team\, it is possible to ensure continuity and consistency in the management of financial\, physical and mental affairs. \nThe concepts described in Advocacy in Aging apply to all those planning for their own or a relative’s aging\, whatever their financial means or context. There’s no denying that we’re all living longer\, and that many of us will see our abilities diminish. \nAuthor Marc Séguin defines five pillars of planning that bring together fundamental concepts: financial planning\, powers of attorney\, downsizing\, living wills and gradual transitions. \nHow do we plan for the future?\nHow can we facilitate transitions?\nHow do you ensure that the people who represent you respect your wishes\, your values and your wisdom? \nThe discussion will be followed by questions and comments. \nREGISTER HERE**Conversation offered in French only. \nClick the button above to open the registration page on Zoom. From there\, enter your name and email address and click “Register.” You will then receive a confirmation email from Zoom with the link to access the session. \nMarc Séguin is the author of Advocacy in Aging (www.AdvocacyInAging.com)\, a book on wealth management and health care planning for the senior years. After a career in the introduction of new technologies\, Marc turned his attention to the challenges of financial management and personal care for seniors. He has helped many families\, including his own\, plan for and cope with the inevitable life changes that come with aging. These experiences have enabled him to crystallize an approach\, in common parlance\, to maintaining continuity in financial affairs and personal care. Marc\, father of 3 boys and grandfather of 2\, lives in Ottawa with his wife. He is an avid skier and loves the outdoors. \nMichelle de Courville Nicol was a member of the Board of Directors of Hôpital Montfort from 1990 to 2001 and its President from 1995 to 2001\, as well as President of Montfort Renaissance\, a French-language community organization active in the fields of addiction\, mental health\, housing and seniors\, from 2006 to 2020. \nConversations with Leaders is proudly sponsored by Zapior Wealth Management of RBC Dominion Securities.
