We were thrilled to partner with the INSEAD Alumni Club Women in Business for an engaging breakfast focused on education, connection and the role vulnerability can play in shaping our relationship with money.
The morning began with an Archetype Quiz, giving guests a new lens through which to understand their own money stories. From there, the conversation explored where financial discussions show up in our lives and where they need to happen more often, from conversations with friends and partners to negotiating compensation at work.
Key takeaways included:
The Quiz as a Mirror: Understanding your money archetype can provide language for behaviors and beliefs you already carry, making it easier to bring greater awareness and confidence into financial conversations.
Money Across Life Stages: Our relationship with money evolves over time. Among parents in the room, many identified with “The Guardian,” reflecting how priorities and financial behaviors can shift as responsibilities change.
Nature Meets Nurture: The way we think about money is influenced by both our personalities and what we observed growing up. Understanding those patterns can be an important first step before making decisions about investing or markets.
The Case for Starting Early: Beginning to invest earlier can provide the benefit of compounded returns, reduce the contributions needed to reach long term goals and create greater capacity to take investment risk over time.
