Amanda Schneider, Financial Advisor with Raymond James

05/11/2026

Linda & Amanda enjoyed a week of professional development and personal connection last week at Elevate 2026. This year's theme; The Power of Personal.

Did we EVER feel that! It was nothing short of amazing to see our dear friends in person, hear from our CEO & Executive Leadership, and deep dive into our professional priorities for the next 12 months. Next up is a conference debrief with the whole team to put these concepts into action and continue to work towards our ultimate goal of an exceptional client experience!

It has been a jam-packed week out in Las Vegas for the 2026 ELEVATE. I had the pleasure earlier this week to speak on a panel about the Raymond James new advisor training program. As a panel, we shared a real look at the life cycle of a new advisor starting the program, mid cycle coming out of the program, and then to the stage of business I am in—post program as a producing Branch Manager & Partner.

Always a pleasure to thought share with some of the sharpest minds in the industry!

Tis the season to clean up the community garden in West Union! A big thanks to Finn, who is Amanda's nephew and Brian and Linda's grandson. Finn and Linda worked hard to clean up the garden recently. We look forward to another season of blooms and growth!

At first glance, two seemingly unrelated pictures. Perhaps even a little bit boring. However, these two items are closely related and deeply meaningful.

Amanda went on a field trip to visit long distance clients in Ohio and Indiana this week. The 4 leaf clovers were handpicked by a client in their pasture, as a gift and well wishes for safe travels. The wooden snowman, a handmade gift from another client for Amanda's daughters.

Some of the best parts of this job and the simple gestures of clients who turn into friends.

We've been a bit quiet on social media lately, but it's for a great reason — our team has been busy welcoming and training two new interns in the office. Meet Laci & Brooklyn!

Laci is in her 1st year at Upper Iowa University, majoring in Ag Business with a Financial Management minor. Laci joins our team as an intern through the ExcEL program.

Brooklyn is finishing her Business Administration degree at Northeast Iowa Community College, with a business internship to top off her degree.

Today we took a beverage break and enjoyed getting to know each other better!
