Entrepreneurial talk: Introduction to Understanding Money Behaviour with Dennis Harhalakis (Cambridge Money Coaching)
Money runs through our lives. We use it every day and yet most of us have never been shown how to understand or manage it. Instead, we muddle along doing the best we can, mainly driven by a set subconscious patterns, behaviours and emotions. So, how do we understand money and how do we understand our behaviour? In this workshop we’ll look at the origins our money behaviours and beliefs, and how we can build awareness of what’s driving them. We’ll examine what is meant by our relationship with money and how that links to the positive financial behaviours that drive our ability to turn income into wealth.
