Let's talk Storytelling in Financial Education

Webinar in partnership with the Institute for Financial Literacy to learn how to incorporate storytelling in your fin ed practice

Join me anytime for this webinar hosted by the Institute for Financial Literacy!

Part of IFL’s 2023 webinar series, this session is for financial educators, advisors and coaches who want to deepen their understanding of financial literacy and learn new tools to serve clients and students.

My session covers one of my favorite topics to talk about: Storytelling in Financial Education. Here’s the overview:

Personal finance is exactly that: personal. No individual’s relationship with money is exactly like any other’s, yet so much of personal finance education is about giving one “right” answer to our questions about money. While the basics are important, we also need to show students the diversity of financial experiences and circumstances, and show them we understand theirs. In this session, I’ll show you how we incorporate storytelling into our work at Healthy Rich and share additional ways you can add stories to your classroom or program to ensure students gain a broad and personalized understanding of money.

I presented this session originally at the Annual Conference for Financial Education (in Puerto Rico!), and I had a great time talking with other educators and coaches there. I’m excited for this opportunity to share it with anyone who couldn’t join us in the Caribbean last spring :)

Plus, I took their feedback and added a few fun surprises for this iteration!

If you already have any certification with IFL’s certifying body, Fincert, you can earn continuing education units for watching the webinar. You might be able to get the session approved for CEUs for another teaching or coaching certification, too.

Cost is $20 to access a recording of the webinar you can watch anytime.

Here’s what we cover in the ~60-min. session:

• Why storytelling matters in personal finance education

• How we incorporate stories into our content and lessons at Healthy Rich

• More ways to introduce stories in your classroom

• Reflection exercises: Share your personal finance stories
