PROGRAMME SYNOPSIS
Session #1: Psychology of Money Masterclass (1.5 hours remotely) - with Danny Almagor
Exploring our relationships with other people and to ourselves is largely accepted as emotionally intelligent practice, but what about our relationship with money? Whatever our background, we are socially and culturally conditioned to attach complex biases to our financial lives and assumptions about those who have a lot of money and those who don’t.
Whether you’re struggling to get by, saving for a sustainable future, leading a purposeful organisation or investing through an impact portfolio, understanding your psychological relationship to money is critical. The psychology of money is complex. This masterclass will explore the concept of money as an energy source and the money disorders we each bring to the table (whether we admit it out loud or not). Money disorders are persistent patterns of self-limiting financial behaviour. To free ourselves from them, we need to identify them and revise their power over us. Join us to explore a more productive way to think about your relationship with money and its purpose.
