Welcome

Hello everyone,

My name is Dr. Shirley Todd McLaughlin, CLU, ChFC.  Please call me Shirley!  I look forward to working with you and plan to enjoy the experience.  Now I will tell you a bit about myself.    I have been a financial consultant for over 25 years, having owned my own business for 15 of those years and after selling it decided to work in the corporate world.  I have worked for the last 10 years in this corporate environment moving three times when I simply got an offer I could not refuse.  My last move was to Raleigh, NC in 1998 and I have been here since.  I was recruited to come here and work with an affiliate of a Fortune 500 financial services firm.  When our unit sold, I decided to try consulting and have been fortunate to continue to work in the financial services industry.  I work in several areas, depending on the situation:  marketing, client relations, recruiting and development.   

Educationally I have a BA from UNCG, MSM from Rollins College, and a DBA from Nova Southeastern University.  I am a Chartered Live Underwriter and Certified Financial Consultant, both are credentials in the financial services industry.  I have been teaching as an adjunct at various colleges for years.  I love working with adults who have decided to go back to college to either finish their undergraduate degree or get their MBA.  I started a few years ago working in the online environment and have been really amazed at the unbelievable growth in this educational delivery.   

When I am not doing the above I train for triathlons and distance running.  I compete when I can and I am usually competitive in my age group.  My idea of a good time is a 50 mile ride in the mountains or a marathon or triathlon that I bring home a trophy.

I look forward to our learning experience together.
