The Ted Jones Coaching Program provides field‐led, peer‐to‐peer coaching to help branch teams commit to and achieve performance excellence that leads to success in their business and the lives of their clients. The program was inspired by Ted Jones, the firm’s second managing partner, and created by veteran financial advisors who recognized the need for coaching and maintaining culture. Following the four cornerstones of the program — Culture, Alignment, Scalability and Intentionality — allows us to work in partnership, while staying grounded in the culture we help preserve.

This past fall, more than 1,200 Edward Jones associates attended an in-person and virtual, expert-led panel discussion on the science and realities of menopause and perimenopause. Jennifer Kingston, Head of Business Human Capital, guided the discussion with care and clarity, enriching it with her personal experience. Panelists shared authentic stories, expert insights and practical tools to better understand the physical, emotional and professional impacts of menopause and perimenopause — for our clients, our colleagues, our loved ones and ourselves. The event helped outline for attendees that the best way to understand how these changes affect someone is by listening to their lived experiences.
