EdgeAdvise - future-proof your advisory approach
A High-Impact Training for Financial Professionals Who Want to Shape Decisions — Not Just Recommend Strategies
EdgeAdvisory is a 5-sessions intensive program to empower financial professionals to move from exhausting explanations to real influence, from convincing clients to resonating with them so they can build resilient relationships, reduce friction and become the trusted guide clients follow, even in uncertainty.
You already explain performance, risk and diversification.
But even your best arguments sometimes meet hesitation, emotional reactions, or sudden reversals.
Why?
Because logic doesn’t drive decisions; filters, emotions and perception do.
EdgeAdvise gives you the language, frameworks and tools to influence how clients think . You’ll move from explaining strategies to guiding the decision process itself.
Through this program, you shift from simply explaining strategies to becoming trusted decision partners who shape behavior, build trust and future-proof your value in a rapidly changing world.
🧠 Build a Communication & Coaching System That Aligns Strategy with Human Behavior
You already know how to explain investment logic. You’ve guided clients through tough markets. But deep down, you’ve probably asked yourself:
Why do well-designed risk profiles fall apart in real market conditions?
How can I coach clients more effectively?How do I help them see what I see and want to follow through?
What you’re really asking is this:
How do I influence the unseen drivers of financial decisions — the filters, patterns and emotions that shape what clients choose to do?
You’ve probably seen this too many times:
-
Risk profiles say one thing, but real behavior says another
-
Clients chase high returns and reject solid strategies based on “gut feel”
-
You make strong arguments, but they still hesitate or act impulsively
-
You spend hours explaining, only to get resistance or regret
Logic, data and performance don’t drive financial decisions — subconscious filters, emotions and internal narratives do. This program teaches you how to speak to those deeper layers of decision-making.
💬 Feedback from Cohort 1
- “Life-changing.”
- “You start seeing client conversations and your own thinking with a different lens.”
-
With a small but intentional tweak, one advisor managed to convince a client who had been postponing a decision for seven months.
-
Participants describe the program as giving them an interesting distance: the ability to step back, notice patterns in real time, and choose the right response instead of reacting.

"I’ve just completed the EdgeAdvise program, and I can honestly say it completely changed my perspective — a full 180 degrees.
I used to struggle when communicating with certain client types and couldn’t quite figure out why. From unjustified delays to incomplete arguments and conversations that never seemed to reach a clear conclusion — it felt like some discussions just went in circles.
After the program, Raluca helped me realize that not everyone shares the same viewpoints, and that sometimes, a simple shift in perspective can radically transform collaboration with a client.
Thanks to this experience, I was able to successfully conclude cases with several clients (five, to be exact) with whom I previously couldn’t find common ground — quickly and in ways I honestly didn’t expect.
I highly recommend this program to any financial consultant or private banker, because it helps you understand that technical expertise alone isn’t what truly matters. Often, a change in perspective can make your results 10x better."
👉 This program helps you go beyond surface-level advice. You’ll learn to understand and guide the subconscious decision process behind every client reaction — and transform the way you communicate, frame options,and navigate emotional resistance.
Here is how:
-
Understand your clients' internal decision-making system
You’ll learn to spot the mental filters that shape how clients interpret risk, uncertainty, trust, and opportunity. When you speak to their thinking style — not just their declared profile — your message lands deeper.
2. Recalibrate risk conversations in real time
You’ll gain tools to sense when a client’s behavior diverges from their stated risk appetite — and how to reframe the dialogue without confrontation. This helps you protect strategy integrity while honoring the client’s experience.
3. Dissolve resistance through tailored language
Whether it's doubt, delay, or overconfidence, resistance often comes from how a client frames their reality. You’ll learn to restructure those frames to shoft client's perception.
4. Coach clients through emotional bias
From loss aversion and panic selling to recency bias and over-optimism, you’ll learn to recognize bias early and coach clients toward clarity. Not by preaching — but by guiding how they think, reflect, and decide.
5. Adapt your strategy framing to each client type
You’ll move beyond static scripts and canned risk profiles. Instead, you’ll create dynamic conversations based on whether the client is risk-driven or risk-averse, structure-loving or freedom-seeking, validation-seeking or independent.
6. Become the trusted decision partner — not just an advisor
Clients don’t just need explanations. They need clarity when it matters most. This program helps you guide decisions in a way that feels right to the client and stays resilient under pressure.
With this training, you’ll elevate your role from being an explainer of strategy to being a shaper of decisions.
You’ll learn how to decode what drives behavior and become the kind of advisor clients don’t just listen to — but follow.
🎯 When you master the hidden side of decision-making, you protect strategy, increase retention, and grow trust. Not through more information, but through deeper influence.
👉 Ready to become the advisor clients stay loyal to — even in volatility?

📚 What’s Inside the Program
🔍 MODULE 1: How Clients Actually Decide
Core focus: Understanding how clients process information, what drives their decisions, and how to speak their mental language.
-
Learn the model that explains how external messages become internal decisions
-
Discover the role of subconscious filters in shaping attention, emotion, and risk evaluation. Learn how different clients perceive the same market context differently and how to recognize these cues in real time.
-
Use a model that takes your client beyond vague or emotional objections to clear, actionable thinking.
-
Master discovering what is really motivating your client and how to tailor your communication.
🔄 MODULE 2: Reframing Resistance
Core focus: Transforming resistance into buy-in through conversational reframing and deeper insight into how clients validate and challenge decisions.
-
Use language patterns to elegantly redirect client objections, fears, or hesitation without sounding like you're "pushing" a product
-
Recognize the mental filter: some clients want clear-cut answers and structure, others want flexibility and room to explore. Misreading this creates friction, understanding it builds flow.
-
Understand the root cause of how clients react to uncertainty
-
Turn difficult conversations into breakthrough moments by changing the mental frame.
-
Recognise what drives confirmation bias and reframe it without confruntation
📌 Real-World Skill: Practice turning emotional pullbacks like “I don’t want to go through that again” into future-aligned decisions.
🎯 MODULE 3: Motivation, Confidence & Inner Validation
Core focus: Here, we look at what truly moves people to act — duty, or conviction. You’ll learn how to spot when a client hesitates because they’re afraid to make a mistake, when they overtrust their gut, or when they need reassurance that a choice is right. Then, you’ll learn how to guide each of them in a way that reflects their thinking styles.
-
The Options vs. Necessity mental filter: Some clients want multiple open paths and resist being pinned down; others need clear structure and direct recommendations. Learn how to align your strategy presentation accordingly.
-
The Self-validation vs. External-validation filter: Some clients need to feel they’ve come to the decision themselves, while others rely on your authority. You’ll learn to calibrate how much direction you give vs. how much discovery you facilitate.
-
Coach clients through fear of regret or perfectionism by speaking to their mind
-
Flex the perspective of those acting out of FOMO or overconfidence
🧩 MODULE 4: Other thinking Patterns That Shape Perception

In this capstone module, we cover:
Framework for overcoming conflicts, overthinking, discussions that get stuck
Understand the mental filters behind biases like status quo, recency and anchoring and shift the conversation using your client's mind language.
The Stability vs. Change filter: One client may crave security and resist adjusting the portfolio even when needed; another may seek novelty and make impulsive changes. You’ll learn how to adapt to eachh in your communication.
The level of details meta filter: Some look at the bigger picture, others need to zoom in and can get lost in details. Learnt o recognise each, their strengths and vulnerabilities and how to cope with them.
🧩 MODULE 5: Putting It All Together
Core focus: Integration. You’ll bring together the filters, language tools and coaching strategies and apply them to real-world cases in risk profiling and advisory conversations.
In this capstone module, you will pratice :
Emotional reactivity and how it amplifies risk aversion, loss aversion, and recency bias and how to stabilize clients using emotionally resonant language.

👩🏫 Meet Your Trainer
I’m Raluca Filip — CFA Charterholder, former Portfolio Manager and Risk Officer and now a Decision-Making Coach specialized in financial judgment under pressure.
Before creating this program, I spent 17 years in the trenches of finance:
-
Managing €50M+ fixed income portfolios
-
Overseeing risk for a financial group with over €1B in assets
-
Collaborating with investment committees and board-level decision-makers
-
Developing risk profiling tools used by advisors and watching how real behavior often clashed with what clients declared in those tools
So I know firsthand what it’s like to:
-
Be responsible for million-dollar decisions
-
Work with advisors trying to convince clients stuck in their own beliefs
-
See confident recommendations dismissed because they didn’t match the client’s internal narrative
I saw what risk profiling tools can't capture. I saw advisors struggling to convince clients who thought “a bond above par is expensive” or that “a good investment must have a high coupon.” I saw how emotionally charged beliefs derailed sound advice.
And I know how it feels when logic wasn’t enough.
I spent 6 years studying the psychology of decision-making: behavioral finance, emotional intelligence, and how the subconscious really works. What I learned changed everything.
I found a system to decode the real drivers of financial decisions, a system that works not just in theory, but in the pressure cooker of real money, real clients and real uncertainty
🔑 That’s the system on which this program is built.
Because when you understand how people really decide, you stop trying to convince, and start guiding with precision.
👉 If you’re ready to rise above “explaining performance” and become a true decision partner for your clients, this is where it starts.
