Teaching ret in the financial and investment industry

Conclusion The investment and financial industry is ripe with opportunities for emotional turmoil! Turmoil that is not only painful in itself, but that contaminates subsequent thinking and behavior and decision-making, and thus frequently costs firms and their clients substantial sums of money. Convincing the decision-makers as well as the professionals on-the-line that psychological training would be very useful is a difficult task, but certainly possible with hard and persistent work! The potential gains must be tied to the bottom line to get their attention. Once in the door, the opportunities are numerous for the application of RET within the workplace. And hopefully, the positive results in terms of both happier workers and an improved bottom line will be the ultimate data to convince the decision-makers to keep the door open and continue to have RET infused into the workplace!Address for correspondence to William D.
