To most\, it seems there is so much written and said on the topic of leadership that it is confusing to determine what is really worth your attention. Ken Bixby\, President & CEO of BJU Education Group\, an organization focused on education from birth to twelfth grade spoke about the two important aspects of the leadership coin. First\, we must have a winning strategy. Second\, we must learn to bring out the best in people. The hard part is striking the right balance between the two. We also learned about Situational Leadership and how as leaders we should adapt to different types of people we lead. \nBased on the book he is in the process of finishing\, Ken will present what he believes are the two most important responsibilities of leadership that are equally important but seldom executed in balance. He will give examples of how he has focused on these principles of balanced leadership in industry and encourage you to take actionable steps to improve your leadership.  \n\nDr. Ken Bixby Bio\nKen Bixby has worked in leadership roles in various countries and companies for the last 35 years. He received his BS in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University\, his Masters in Management from Krannert Business School and his DBA from Anderson University in Indiana. He has led a variety of manufacturing organizations and also worked as a consultant. Currently\, he is the President & CEO of BJU Education Group\, an organization focused on education from birth to twelfth grade.

Everyone should have a game plan as they head towards retirement or are in retirement. As Benjamin Franklin quoted\, “If you fail to plan\, then you plan to fail.” In this light-hearted talk\, we’ll cover topics such as: \n\nSpending\nTime Horizon\nAsset Allocation\nRisk Alignment\nTax Avoidance\n\n  \nHans Blake\, CFA\, CPA Bio\nHans is a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) who managed over $350M and worked with high net worth individuals and institutions around the world before founding Intelligent Investing. \nIntelligent Investing strives to minimize financial stress to maximize lives through cutting-edge technology integrations and behavioral finance (improving how investors think and act with money). \nHans graduated from Bob Jones University in public accounting\, before earning a Masters of Accountancy degree from the University of South Carolina.

It has deductibles\, co-insurance and out of pocket expenses\, some with no caps. Medicare is divided into three parts – Part A (inpatient)\, Part B (outpatient)\, and Part D (prescription drug). \n\nMedicare Advantage\nIt is estimated that 30% of people with Medicare get their benefits from Medicare Advantage plans\, sometimes called Medicare private health plans. \nMedicare Advantage plan companies contract with Medicare and are paid a fixed amount to provide Medicare benefits. They are generally managed care plans. The most common types are: \nHMO – Health Maintenance Organizations\nPPO – Preferred Provider Organizations\nPFFS – Private Fee for Service plans\nMSA – Medical Saving Accounts \nFrank LeVett Bio\nFrank founded HealthCare Planners\, Inc. (HPI) in 2005. His primary focus with HPI has been the Senior Markets in South Carolina\, North Carolina\, Georgia\, and other states for more than 27 years. Frank sold his first Medicare Supplement in 1989\, and was hooked on the senior market. This segment of the market is constantly changing and keeps him engaged. Off hours you may find Frank enjoying time his wife Jody\, children and 5 grandchildren\, or improving his game on the golf course.

He will share his years of knowledge on investor psychology and how to improve investor behavior to improve investment performance. Behavioral Finance is one of the three financial pillars that Intelligent Investing was founded on. Email us to learn more about joining\, or to book one of the Intelligent TALKs with your business or non-profit. \nBEF270 Misbehaving 101: An Introduction to Behavioral Finance\nWednesday\, 9–10:30 a.m.\, Herring Center\, Campbell (HC004) \nInvestors are their own worst enemies. In this fun-filled Misbehaving TALK (Teaching and Laughing Keynote) course\, we will have fun learning how we are the root of our fears and greed\, but we are also the solution. Traditional finance based on textbooks says that man is rational and wants to maximize returns and minimize risk. However\, behavioral finance describes man as irrational\nand says man is focused more on his losses than his gains. We will explore this bias called loss aversion\, and many more biases and emotions we face with our finances. We will discover how\nfear and greed can be minimized by understanding when we may face each of these emotions\, and how to mitigate them. In this technology filled world\, we have information at our fingertips\,\nyet we still misbehave with our money. The more frequently we look at our portfolios\, the higher the probability of seeing a loss\, and when we see a loss\, we tend to overreact. This course explores the multiple gaps that humans face in order to improve the way they invest and think about money. We will cover the behavior gap\, time gap\, and risk gap. \nThe course begins on March 28th and runs through May 16th. \nTo register online\, go to: www.furman.edu/olli URL:https://investedwithyou.com/event/misbehaving-101-olli-osher-lifelong-learning-institute-at-furman/ LOCATION:Furman University CATEGORIES:Intelligent Talk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180504T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180504T130000 DTSTAMP:20260526T040113 CREATED:20180425T202215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180504T185420Z UID:2332-1525435200-1525438800@investedwithyou.com SUMMARY:May 4\, 2018- FFN@N (Pro Golf Tips Before Summer) DESCRIPTION:Topic\nAt this month’s FFN@N\, we learned from Mike Carter\, one of 91 professionally certified golf instructors associated with The Plane Truth golf instruction. Jim Hardy\, world top 10 teacher and Chris O’Connell\, Matt Kuchar’s instructor\, are the driving force behind The Plane Truth golf instruction. Mike’s instruction is based on the paradigm that the golf swing is either one plane or two plane and it will benefit a golfer to understand which type of swing he or she has. Once the student has this knowledge\, the lesson is simply one of neutralizing the steep and shallow issues a student has in the swing. \nMike Carter Bio\nMike is a 1970 graduate of The Citadel.  After graduation he served in the Medical Field Service Corp of the United States Army.  Upon completing his service to his country\, he returned to Greenville and subsequently purchased two golf driving ranges where he taught golf.  In his early thirties\, he sold both ranges and entered the financial services industry.  In 2010 Mike retired. \nHaving loved teaching golf when he was in his twenties\, Mike decided teaching would be a great way to stay active and supplement his retirement income.  After researching the best golf instructors in America\, Mike went to Houston to study under Jim Hardy and Chris O’Connell.  Jim was recently inducted into the PGA Teachers Hall Of Fame.  Chris is best known as the instructor of Matt Kuchar.  Jim and Chris founded Plane Truth Golf Instruction and Plane Truth Golf TV.  PTGI has instructors all over the world.

As spouses\, children\, and parents we sometimes struggle with getting the perfect gift. Joyce presented the 5 Love Languages and how it applies to giving gifts to our special loved one. Over the years she has received many requests for helping choose that perfect gift\, and she passed on some of her years of wisdom to us. Thanks to all who came out. \n \nJoyce McAbee Bio (Founder of Monogram Concierge)\nFocused on creating beautiful outcomes\, Monogram Concierge’s founder Joyce McAbee truly understands the concept of service. An entrepreneur by nature\, Joyce dipped her toe into many entrepreneurial streams over the years before establishing a 16-year reputation in the senior care industry\, a decade as the owner of a successful non-medical senior care company\, and six years consulting\, helping services providers refine their quality of care. It was through this work she developed a heart not just for seniors\, but saw the burden on their children and others who had achieved success in life. She recognized the needed support system to truly live the life they’d worked so hard for so long to build\, and created Monogram Concierge to expand the demographic and service offerings. \nAt every level of organization at Monogram Concierge\, the commitment to uncommon service is woven throughout the fabric and at the heart of every offering. Monogram’s team of concierges offer clients unparalleled levels of care\, experience\, and trustworthiness. Their focus: to help clients create the life they want\, reimagine what’s possible\, and craft beautiful outcomes. \n\nFor those of you who missed it\, here are the “Picking the Perfect Gift Handouts”\n[gview file=”https://investedwithyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Picking-the-Perfect-Gift.pdf”] URL:https://investedwithyou.com/event/picking-the-perfect-gift/ LOCATION:Intelligent Investing Office\, 33 Market Point Drive\, Greenville\, SC\, 29607\, United States CATEGORIES:First Friday Networking at Noon,Networking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://investedwithyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Joyce-McAbee.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180129T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180129T130000 DTSTAMP:20260526T040113 CREATED:20180130T021743Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180130T021837Z UID:2197-1517227200-1517230800@investedwithyou.com SUMMARY:USC Christian Medical and Dental Association Talk DESCRIPTION:  \nHans had the privilege of speaking to the USC Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) for the third time.
