A selection of comments from workshop attendees is here.
Workshops: Are offered as either 4 or 6 hours. The longer session provides more time for group interaction which participants see as a very valuable part of the workshops. An additional 2 hours is added if the “Financially Fit and Healthy” workshop option is included.
Coaching : Is on an hourly basis with the number of hours dependent on individual requirements.
An option: Financial Coaching is a useful compliment to Career Development
It has been suggested that staff members’ focus and productivity, and thus their careers, can be impacted by concerns about their personal financial circumstances. This is no reflection on the staff member, but rather, it is a statement about the lack of basic financial education publically available.
There is an increasing interest, by employers, in providing some basic financial literacy awareness as they appreciate the positive impact for both the employing organisation and the staff member.
We are able to offer individual financial coaching which might include such topics as:
- Finding the financial balance between lifestyle today and lifestyle tomorrow
- How to create and maintain a financial plan over time
- How to minimise the impact of “Life events”
- Savings and investments – what to look for and how to manage the risk/return trade-off
- Guide to dealing with everyday financial decisions
Our coaching is personalised to meet the specific needs of the staff member concerned.
Our financial coach, Craig Wylie, is an experienced financial consultant, having provided personal financial advice for 30 years, prior to which he was a Chartered Accountant in public practice. He, and C2 Consulting, are independent of any investment or insurance product providers. More information here.
