Money Coaching

Money is power, freedom, a cushion, the root of all evil, the sum of blessings. —Carl Sandburg

This quote from America poet Carl Sandburg does an elegant job of summing up our fascinating relationship with money. Money means many things to each of us and often these meanings are in conflict! Perhaps this explains why an internet search for “leading cause of stress” invariably returns with money/finances. Is it any wonder why so many of us struggle with money? Unfortunately, families, schools, government and the financial services industry have mostly sidestepped tackling this challenge.

While it’s convenient to believe that a healthy money life requires that we be good with math (not that it hurts) nothing could be further from the truth. Our relationship with money is largely shaped by our attitudes, beliefs and decisions. To mold a better relationship with money starts by gaining a better understanding of ourselves, including our values, skills, strengths, needs/wants and, of course, our deepest desires. That’s why working with our clients in the area of money is such an obvious fit for coaches.
