The sessions will include:
The above is just a few of the things the programme will cover and I will ensure you have what I can deliver to help you build your ideal financial planning practice.
In addition, at each session and between times, you will have the opportunity to share challenges and get clarification on areas you’re just not sure of.
While there are a few structured training programmes for qualified financial planners, none are run by practicing financial planners – someone who can share their personal insights into how to deliver a true financial planning experience.
My Lexington Coaching programme aims to support new financial planners and those wanting to improve their financial planning experience to develop a wonderful, efficient, and enjoyable business.
Financial planning is probably the best-kept secret there is, so few people really understand it, yet it’s so simple. When you engage with your clients on a deeper and more comprehensive level, it’s more fun, enjoyable, and rewarding for everyone involved, including the client, planner and the support team.
I have built my business to a level which I am truly happy with, but it wasn’t always this way. When I started, books and conferences only went so far to help me understand how to run a successful planning business. I have been coached by some of the best in the profession and the skills and expertise I have gained from working with these people, has helped me develop a million-pound turnover practice with me as the only fee-earning planner.
As I enter my final chapter in my working career, I would like to share the learnings I have gained, so you too can have the business you desire and for us both to make financial planning more of a household name, that’s my ultimate goal!
Endorsed CPD activities are those that have been reviewed and judged to be of high quality and relevance to CISI members. All Endorsed CPD Activities have clear learning outcomes, appropriate materials and suitably qualified presenters and tutors.
The program is currently priced at £650pm for the first 10 delegates, after which the price will increase to £750pm. The program will pay for itself!
The next program start date is January 2025. Please ensure you enrol before then if you would like to take part.
I share with my clients what they can expect from me, and what I expect of them. I will cover this with you on day one of the programme.
Therefore, it makes sense for you know what you can expect of me, and what I expect of you with our coaching programme.
What you can expect of me
You can expect that I will deliver on what I have promised. You can expect that I will share with you my knowledge, and resources openly and that I will have your best interest of success at the forefront of my decisions and thinking at all times.
What I can expect of you
When you decide to commit, I expect you to be fully engaged in the training, completing the exercises and if you’re unsure, to ask. Our relationship working together will be key to this success.
I expect you to commit for the full 36 months so that you get the most from the program.

“Firstly, I would just like to thank you again for last week. It was a very productive day and my brain has been alive with ideas since. I haven’t spent that sort of time out of the business to think about the business and my future for quite some time. I feel re-energised and excited to see how I can improve my business over the duration of the course.”
Greg Cooke, Polaris Wealth Management
“Day 1 of the Lexington Coaching Programme was absorbing and full of ideas that I am looking forward to implementing in my business. Warren was so positive, approachable, open to all questions and enthusiastically offered his support so that we could make immediate progress. The programme is very well structured and Warren has a clear vision of what he wants to offer over the next 3 years. I have been on other programmes before but I get the feeling that Warren is personally interested that I will achieve everything from the programme that is important to me. Therefore, I am excited about the content and each future day’s coaching which I would not hesitate in recommending to others.”
Martin O’Reilly, Financial Aspirations Lifestyle Planning
“Warren recently joined a panellist session at our Adviser 3.0 conference and had the best feedback of all our panel sessions held. The rapport between him, and Paul Cleworth was electric and the audience left wanting more. Warren was engaging, relevant and provided true insights and immeasurable value for his audience. We’d love to extend the session and audience with Warren if he’ll do us the honour of coming back again.”
Kate Phillips, Adviser 3.0 / Timeline
“Warren delivered an incredibly useful and challenging session to our delegates for which are are very grateful.”
