Fearless, Fabulous & Flourishing: Empowering women to take charge of their financial future
Fearless: Breaking down barriers and building confidence
The "Fearless" aspect of the event series highlights the importance of open communication about finances. Studies show that 8 in 10 women avoid financial conversations due to feeling them "too personal" or "uncomfortable." [1] However, avoiding these discussions comes at a cost, considering women own less than 40% of global wealth. [2] Pension gaps are also concerning, stemming from lower lifetime earnings and incomes, reduced investing, and career interruptions.
Fabulous: Reframing finance as a tool for empowerment
Why shouldn't finance be fabulous? In our view, the financial sector, like any other industry, should inspire trust and personal responsibility. That's why we exchange ideas on making finance more accessible and empowering, especially for women, by creating opportunities for financial independence. Women often perceive money differently. They see money as a social security but not a source of opportunity. However, not taking risks can be the biggest risk of all. We encourage women starting small and building up to seize opportunities.
Flourishing: Putting You in control with actionable steps
The event series isn't just about inspiration; it is about equipping women with practical tools. Speakers provide key takeaways and actionable steps for taking control of your finances.
