Wow! I wasn’t expecting that! I had the most incredible experience today with Ms Arthurs grade 11 students at Bethlehem High School, representing Advocis and speaking with the students about Financial Literacy. I was their guest speaker.
I thought they’d be most interested in the foundations of money - money management 101 or more of the technical side of money, but their questions were really around the relational value that the service of being a financial advisor and an entrepreneur provides.
These kids care about people and the impact that leading with money conversations has on the world around them. They cared about their own signature reputation that having the privilege of managing their own personal money creates. They cared about their future. They cared about entrepreneurship. They cared about leadership. They cared about the good it creates. 🥹
I am blown away by how they see the potential they have for influence and impact.
I get one more session with them for this semester.
I’m a volunteer board member with Advocis.
I’m a financial advisor, and to be connected to the minds of youth this way, the next upcoming leaders of our world (outside of my own kids and their friends) was a real blessing.
The old paradigm around money conversations is changing and I feel I’m right in the hub of it between my work through Advocis and my own chosen entrepreneurial journey.
This was awesome!
