Would you ever recommend re-doing the Financial Road Map® Values Staircase™ with existing clients now that I am much more comfortable with the process?

Very unlikely. A good recap should be quite compelling as they are looking at their entire Financial Road Map™ (Financial Road Map) as the foundation for every progress meeting. You might also have them read their values from the Financial Road Map™ out loud because them saying their values instead of you will be more compelling and emotional. It’s okay to ask something like, “what are you thinking and feeling as you read your values aloud?” “Does that still ring true for you?”

b When conducting the Values Conversation™ with a couple, what should you do when they consistently interact with each other? For example in working with the husband, the wife would interject something. I reminded her that we would get to her shortly, that this was a discussion with the husband. The husband would then answer and confer with the wife or otherwise engage her. When it was the wife’s turn, the same thing happened, a lot of back and forth conversations. I would repeatedly steer them back but it was like herding cats. What is the suggestion for making it clear that it is a separate conversation for each of them?
b How do I identify true values in people's answers? Sometimes my clients will say so many different words; I find it difficult to identify which are the keywords.
b How do I get my clients to continue on to the level 3 values during the Values Staircase™?
b I recently had a Financial Road Map Interview™ meeting with a prospective client. She brought her Financial Road Map® to the meeting that we had partially completed during our Phone Consultation™. When I started to do the Values Conversation™ during the meeting she just referred to her original Financial Road Map® for her Values Staircase™ answers. Would you have asked her to conceal her original Financial Road Map® so we could start fresh with a new Values Conversation™?
b I frequently work with wealthy widows. They are not part of a couple, nor are they looking to begin a relationship. Is there a version of the Financial Road Map® that has one Values Staircase™ or do you have any advice on how to effectively handle this situation the best way possible?
