Money Shy to Money Sure

 

 

Olivia Mellan knows every woman can go from money shy to money sure, but what’s stopping many of us are the money myths that block our path to financial well-being—myths like “It’s selfish for me to put myself first”, or “I don’t have enough money to do anything with”, or “If I take risks with my money, I’ll lose everything.”  Debunking the myths and taking action steps are the keys to true financial serenity. 

So, if you ever feel anxious about your financial future—whether struggling to make investment decisions or negotiating money conflicts with a partner—Olivia will be on hand doling out the best kind of therapy: encouragement, valuable advice, and the inspiration that comes from shared experience.

Her monthly column, The Psychology of Advice appears in Investment Advisor, and she has appeared on Oprah, the Today Show, ABC's 20/20, and other nationwide media. She also speaks all over the country to businesses, professional groups, and to the general public.

A Man is Not a Financial Plan

Gillian Leithman, BA, MS, wants you to know that it’s not too late to take control of your financial future.  It is not about blame and it is not about shame. 

It’s about shedding some widely held misconceptions that you may have about money.  It’s about throwing out some dated beliefs about you and your abilities.  And finally, it’s about ensuring that you have the power to control your life.

Sure, our relationship to money is an emotional one, and one we don’t like talking about.  But if your best friend knows far more about the intimate details of your sex life than she does about your bank balance, don’t miss Gillian’s fresh take on how the secrets we harbor and the fears we have about money are preventing us from establishing true financial security.

Gillian Leithman is the president and founder of Directions Third Age Consultants Inc, a company specializing in retirement coaching and corporate retirement seminars.

She holds an MS from the John Molson School of Business and has led workshops and seminars for some of Canada's premiere businesses and organizations such as Bell Canada, Air Canada, and Federal Express.

Gillian has conducted research for the past 10 years in the behavioral sciences in Canada and overseas. Her most current research focuses on the psychological and financial consequences of retirement and has been featured at the Canadian Psychological Association, the Ontario Gerontological Association and she has recently won the Best Paper Award from the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (June 2006, Banff).

She is also a Certified Retirement Coach. Gillian continues to conduct research and is pursuing her PhD at Concordia University, and currently teaches at the John Molson School of Business.
