ConnectRoot Launches Video Educational Series for Financial Industry

NEW YORK - Aug. 23, 2016 - PRLog -- ConnectRoot, the New Jersey-based networking source and assessment firm, is pleased to announce the addition of its Video Webinar Educational Series. The new educational series showcases ConnectRoot's professional speakers, leadership and executive trainers, financial industry experts, and thought leaders across multiple disciplines. CE-approved presentations are available as well.

The series of educational webinars will cover topics such as Ethics, Entrepreneurship, Human Resource Management, Finances, Marketing, Branding, Sales, Leadership Technology, Women in Finance, and Women Empowerment. The webinars provide an education platform designed for the needs and interests of the financial industry, and enable financial firms sourcing speakers for their events, team building, or leadership training to tune-in to watch our professional speakers in order to evaluate potential prospects.

"Our goal with ConnectRoot's Video Educational Series is to provide educational webinars to the financial industry worldwide in ways that are not being met in the industry at this time, and impart thought-provoking ideas and instill positive teachings and passion into the hearts of our audiences through the finest speakers, trainers, and industry experts," explained Kelly Newsome, president and founder of ConnectRoot. "We saw a missing component in the webinars available, so in addition to offering cutting-edge business strategies and tools, we have speakers well versed in all areas of personal growth, such as leadership training, ethics, career advancement, presentation skills, impression management, along with human resource, best practices, and business management."

Chad Meyer, founder and president of HedgeAct, is one of the first sponsors to join ConnectRoot's Video webinars. "Kelly continues to expand her platform, and I am thrilled to be partnering with ConnectRoot as a sponsor of these educational webinars," he said. "Many of the advisors using our hedge funds and alternative portfolios can implement the strategies and teachings learned through these series of webinars, helping them make changes to their business and personal lives immediately." Meyer noted that HedgeAct is sponsoring Neil Wood's presentation "The Tidal Wave of Affluent Millennials," airing in September. "We recognize millennials are a driving force in the alternatives industry, and we are focused on educating our advisor clients on providing the services and products that millennials are seeking," he said.

Newsome views the addition of the Video Educational Series to ConnectRoot's platform as a logical step in her company's growth. "ConnectRoot is very focused, providing vital services that many financial firms need; and, as a simple, single-source platform, it couldn't be easier to take advantage of all we have to offer," said Newsome.

Newsome has over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, working in sales and business development. She launched ConnectRoot in 2013.
