DANELLE PARKER & STACEY BARRINS
At the Eleven Twenty Seven Group at Morgan Stanley, Financial Advisors, STACEY BARRINS, CFP® and DANELLE PARKER, CFP® see their clients as more than a portfolio of assets—they are people with complex lives who would like a financial advisor to provide thorough, unbiased, and carefully considered guidance on a range of topics. Barrins and Parker have a shared mission to provide their clients with the guidance and knowledge necessary to help them make important life decisions.
What does the idea of power mean to you? Power, to us, is the ability to enact change to influence a more favorable outcome. We encourage positive change by providing clients with the right tools and proper guidance instead of simply making decisions for them.
How should women support other women? Parker: Through mentorship and sharing knowledge, skills, and experiences to help other women navigate their careers, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals.
Barrins: It is important to be an advocate for other women. I encourage public praise—recognizing someone for an achievement in the presence of others—as it has a multiplying effect.
What has been the most significant barrier in your career and how have you persevered? Barrins: Building a business as a female in a traditionally male dominated industry had its challenges. I work hard to stay true to myself. I am never afraid to show my feminine side but I also do not use it as an excuse or a crutch. It is important to me that clients and colleagues view me as an advisor without the female qualifier attached.
Parker: I am grateful to work alongside an amazing group of women. We lean on and learn from each other and provide the support and encouragement that is needed to balance work and family life.
