Workshops:

Build Your Personal Power through Money Mastery 

Facilitated by: Wendy Brookhouse, Founder & Chief Strategist, Blackstar Group
 
Having money confidence changes how you present in all aspects of your life – including your professional career.  And with confidence comes personal power.

We don’t understand enough about the behaviors that drive our money issues.   You might know what you should do, and yet you still don’t do it.

Money is so much more than math.  Our relationship with money is built over many years, first from our parents and grandparents, then our own experiences that form self-limiting beliefs and expectations, and of course, the sheer pressures of everyday life.   We look at the way others present to the world and want that as well, but we don’t have access to the reality “behind the curtain” to see if that life is truly as prosperous or sustainable as it looks.  
Join us as we delve into money mindsets, how to recognize patterns and how to change them.   During this 45 minute interactive presentation, we will examine the state of Canadian personal finances and the unique challenges we face as women with our money.  We will share key strategies to change the female narrative around money, overcome self-sabotage and find true prosperity in all aspects of your life through increased confidence with your money.
