Bringing extensive experience in one to one coaching, providing solutions to hundreds of challenging benefits cases, and conducting dozens of inspiring live training events Chris has helped equip federal employees with confidence to make sound retirement planning decisions. That confidence is based on a clear understanding of how the benefits work, how they apply to the employee, and what financial impact the employee will feel from his or her decisions. Because of Chris background in the financial services industry, she knows first hand the challenges that so many face as they plan for and approach retirement. She believes that helping employees to take ownership of their decisions or lack of decisions is the first step to making progress in meeting their specific retirement goals. While federal benefits are often confusing and difficult to interpret, Chris is able to break down complex concepts into easy to understand language and shows employees how proactive benefit decisions can positively affect their overall financial situation.

4 Federal Retirement Understand the Financial Impact of Retirement Decisions About the workshop We have developed a very unique CSRS and FERS benefits workshop that is focused on helping employees apply what they are learning in the classroom to their own situation. Instead of teaching at a very technical level regarding the benefit rules, we aim to educate employees to know the financial impact of retirement and benefit decisions, and to make those decisions carefully based on sound information. While federal benefits are often confusing and difficult to interpret, ProFeds is able to break down complex concepts into easy to understand language to show employees how proactive benefit decisions can positively affect their overall financial situation. What federal employees are saying This workshop has consistently received 5 star reviews by federal agencies around the country. While the agencies are pleased to host such an impactful training session, the employees leave feeling confident and empowered to take action to positively affect their plans for retirement truly a win win. Ideal candidates The employees who typically benefit most from this As a result of today s session I will make a workshop are within 5 10 years of retirement. Those retirement plan. closer to retirement often have specific questions C.G., Department of Health & Human Services and concerns regarding retirement decisions to be made and that makes this workshop particularly relevant to their situation. Tailoring the workshop to meet the needs of employees With the wide array of federal employees we train, we know the importance of tailoring the workshop material to suit their specific needs. The most common accommodations we make are for audiences of Law Enforcement Officers, Air Traffic Controllers and Firefighters. Following the workshop The financial professional who hosts the workshop offers each employee an opportunity to meet to review their specific situation and develop a personalized Federal Benefits Analysis together. This analysis helps to demonstrate the value of their benefits and identify key decisions to be made as they move closer to retirement. This benefits review is offered at no cost to the agency or employee. ProFeds relationship with financial professionals Wish we had this 10 years ago it made the retirement system easy to understand.
