Join Brent Schafer, CFP®,TPCP® for an engaging lunch and learn designed to explore investor behavior around market swings, headlines, and emotions can quietly influence financial decisions in ways that derail long-term plans. Understanding how these psychological patterns work is one of the most overlooked aspects of successful investing.

- Why recent performance often distorts long-term thinking
- How loss aversion can lead to poorly timed decisions
