FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hixon Zuercher Capital Management is Named a Finalist in the ThinkAdvisor 2024 Luminaries Awards for Innovation (Firm Award)
Findlay, OH (September 9, 2024) — Hixon Zuercher Capital Management, Ohio wealth management firm, announces that it has been named a Finalist in the ThinkAdvisor 2024 Luminaries Awards for Innovation. Now in its fourth year, ThinkAdvisor’s Luminaries Awards redefine excellence in financial services, shining a spotlight on outstanding contributions from both organizations and individuals.
Hixon Zuercher’s recent development, The Refocus Coaching Academy: Purpose Driven Retirement Coaching Guide for Financial Advisors, is being recognized for innovativeness in the financial services industry. Launching in July 2024, the program has already been featured in MarketWatch and Morningstar, as well as earning Program Sponsorship for CFP® Continuing Education.
“We’re honored to receive this prestigious award from ThinkAdvisor,” said CEO, Tony Hixon. “It’s been 11 years since my mom, Pam Hixon, took her own life after her transition into retirement. Three years ago, following the release of my book Retirement Stepping Stones, we decided to hire a life coach, Scott Miller, to continue her legacy through our Refocus Coaching services. Today, our firm hosts Refocus on Retirement Workshops and private coaching sessions to help clients navigate the non-financial side of retirement.
In late 2023, I shared my mother’s story on a popular advisory podcast, and it resonated deeply within the industry. I received countless calls from advisors across the nation asking how they could implement similar non-financial retirement coaching services in their own firms. This overwhelming response inspired us to create The Refocus Coaching Academy course, enabling my mom’s legacy to extend beyond our firm and into many others. Now, all of our advisors are fully trained and certified as Refocus Certified Advisors, ensuring that her vision will continue to make a lasting impact.”
By setting a new standard for recognition based on remarkable achievements and innovation, the ThinkAdvisor 2024 Luminaries Awards program inspires the industry to reach greater heights of leadership, creativity, and community engagement. A panel of independent judges made up of distinguished industry professionals will determine the 2024 winners, who will be recognized during an awards event at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on December 11-12, 2024.
“The 2024 Luminaries Awards continue to push the boundaries of what excellence means in the financial services industry,” said Janet Levaux, editor-in-chief of ThinkAdvisor. “This year’s finalists have not only demonstrated exceptional leadership and innovation but have also shown a deep commitment to making a positive impact on their communities and the industry at large. Their contributions are a testament to the dynamic and evolving nature of our business, and we are proud to highlight their achievements as examples for others to follow.”
