                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got this message from an advisor friend of mine.  Does anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"A client I spoke with today is exploring a career transition into financial advising. She currently works in Disability and Inclusion and believes this path aligns well with her strengths. I agree with her – she’s a dynamic individual who feels comfortable in financial discussions and has the skill set needed for this type of role.</p>
<p>Kimberlee: Are there resources or networks—such as WLA—that you’d recommend for someone entering the field? Are there mentorship programs that support individuals with backgrounds in advocacy or inclusion?"</p>]]></content:encoded>
