I had the opportunity to attend the Sun Life Philippines Live Brighter Forum last April 27 at the SMX Convention Center. This is a series of recruitment events for aspiring Sun Life Financial Advisors. Being invited to cover and witness this event was an exciting one, as it allowed me to gain insights into the world of financial services and the role of a Sun Life Financial Advisor. The Live Brighter Forum kicked off in Davao City and has since traveled to Iloilo City, Pasay City, and will be heading to Pampanga next.
There were interactive booths like the "Next Big Quiz," "Next Big Destination," and "Next Big Project" situated around the convention center. These booths showcased the travel incentives and highlighted the advisors' corporate social responsibility initiatives.
One of the most compelling aspects of the event was the opportunity to hear the real-life stories of current Sun Life Financial Advisors. Their passion and dedication to helping clients achieve a brighter financial future were truly inspiring. They shared how the role has given them the opportunity to earn an unlimited income, enjoy the freedom of time, and develop a profound sense of purpose.
Sun Life provides comprehensive training and support to their Financial Advisors. It's evident that the company invests heavily in nurturing its talent, ensuring that they are well-equipped to guide clients through their financial journeys. The opportunity to be a Sun Life Financial Advisor seemed to offer the perfect blend of personal and professional fulfillment, and I could see why it was being marketed as the "Next Big Gig" for Millennials and Gen Zs.
Sharing stories like these can inspire and inform others who may be considering a career change or exploring new opportunities. The Sun Life Live Brighter Forum provided a unique and insightful glimpse into the world of financial services, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to cover it.
