Have you ever let your emotions get involved in your investment decisions?

Admit it; you are human, just like the rest of us!

Join us as Kim Gaxiola, CFP®, presents "My Brain Made Me Do It."

Your emotions can make you do irrational things.

We are going to have fun in this fact-based webinar where we will take a peek into the human brain and explore how it is we react to emotional situations. Learn how to avoid common investing mistakes by keeping your brain in check.

Speaker, educator, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and a big fan of women in technology, Kim's mission is to provide financial education that makes professionals and employees more comfortable making important financial decisions. Combining corporate benefits and individual assets employees accumulate in a consolidated plan, where job changes are frequent is her passion.

Living in Silicon Valley, Kim's focus is to serve women in technology, eliminating one of the many stressful tasks women find themselves responsible for in securing their financial future. Kim has been recognized in the financial services industry as an early adopter of social media tools - having been profiled on CNBC.com, Advisor Websites, Registered Rep magazine, and others. In addition, she has appeared in various industry webinars sharing ideas on best practices for enhanced client relationships and engagement using social media.

Determined to make a difference in the lives of her clients and community, Kim has continued to provide a personalized level of service and attention to her clients reminiscent of an older time. Ironically her investment methods are anything but traditional. Using a combination of relative strength sector analysis, technical analysis, and dynamic asset allocation, Kim provides objective, independent, and timely financial advice and guidance with the highest level of professional service.
