This week on The Motivational Intelligence Podcast, we have a very special guest: Nannette Nocon, a very successful private wealth advisor at Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. She leads her own team, known as Nocon & Associates. She has been ranked by The Financial Times as one of the top financial planners in the nation, managing over half a billion dollars’ worth of assets for individuals in 26 different states. Nannette is also a part of The National Woman’s Hall of Fame. In addition to that, she’s won the prestigious ATHENA Award, which is given to women who have made significant investments in three areas: business, community service and in the advancement of women. Nannette is a highly motivated and goal-driven individual who is always looking to help others (and herself) be the best they can be. “Cultivate passion by setting the bar higher than your former self,” she says.

Nannette has most certainly done that and much, much more. When she first was looking to become a financial advisor, the person she interviewed for said she didn’t fit the profile of what a financial advisor should be and didn’t call her back, but that didn’t stop her. She was resilient and got a job there shortly after and has been there ever since. Nannette has also been a great mentor to people on her team, pushing them to be better and showing them a great amount of appreciation. “Whenever I hire someone, I tell them that as long as they give me their best, I will give them my best. So, I use self-leadership. I always believe in self-leadership.” Nannette’s story is intriguing and inspiring, so be sure to listen to “Episode 29: Nannette Nocon: How to Set Goals, Ask for Help and Lead People from Poverty to $600 Million in Assets Under Management”.
