We spend years in the formal education system learning about how to get a job and a career and earn money, but very little of that,  if any, is spent learning how to manage that money to reach lifestyle goals.

Money and the problems associated with personal finance are a source of a lot of anxiety and strife.   This can have a huge impact on personal happiness and our organization's culture. The main culprit, most of us learn about managing our personal finances through trial and error.   So how can we help our team with something so personal and difficult to talk about?

My guest, Michelle Boss, is a personal finance coach and a certified financial educational instructor. In this episode, Michelle shares a little bit about how to create a personal finance program for your team as an employee benefit.

In this episode we talk about:

The visible and not so visible impact of financial stress
Some of the elements of a financial literacy program
The broad steps to developing and implementing a program

She's a personal finance coach and a certified financial educational instructor, and she's stopping by to talk a little bit about how to create a personal finance program for your team as an employee benefit.
