Last month we welcomed onboard Tully, as our new Client Services Manager in Lance and Manisha's Team.

‍

Here is a word from the man himself!

Kia Ora, my name is Tully. I've had the privilege of knowing both directors of Velocity throughout my life. As a Client Services Manager in Lance Shearman's team, I'm currently advancing my expertise by working towards my level five qualifications. With nine years of experience in the financial services industry, my passion for Investment and KiwiSaver has grown, particularly influenced by my previous role at Booster Financial Services. My proudest and most cherished accomplishment is being a parent to my daughter Alexis, an incredible young person nearing the age of 12.

Q & A With Tully:

‍

What’s something that you are looking forward to in your new role?

I'm looking forward to learning about new products (Mortgages and Insurance) and helping assist people with getting into their new homes.

‍

What's a piece of advice you've received that has stuck with you throughout your career?

It doesn't matter what you are doing, as long as you are doing something. This helped me a lot when I was younger and feeling a little lost in the world

‍

Can you share a book or podcast that has influenced your professional life?

A book called The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman, I've used this in both my professional life and through sports/hobbies and I have found this incredibly helpful

‍

What quote resonates with you today/this week?

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. John Maxwell.

‍

If you could choose one song to play every time you walked into a room, what would you choose and why?

I listen to such a varied amount of music that the answer to this would change depending on what day you asked me. Right now - Million Dollar Baby by Tommy Richman. It's a banger

‍

What podcasts/books/movies/speakers inspire you and why?

David Goggins, he is a maniac first and foremost, but he is so intense and intentional in everything he does and talks about

‍

What will you be doing in 20 years’ time?

In 20 years, I would like to be traveling in Europe, specifically Italy and Greece visiting historic sites

‍

What do you hope to achieve at Velocity? Personally/professionally?

I'm working on my level 5's at the moment and really looking forward to the challenge of eventually becoming a broker/adviser here at Velocity

‍

What was the last gift you gave someone?

Gifted my grandfather four family sized pies from my daughter's school fund raiser. Best pies I've ever had as well.

‍

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

100 duck sized horses - not the biggest fan of a giant flying bird, don't think that would be good for anyone!!
