Course Overview

This course is valid up to December 31st, 2023 for CFP Professionals. It is advisable to complete this course before that to process the credit on time.

Despite gains in labor participation over the last few decades, women continue to experience a gender pay gap which impacts the income stream available to save, spend, and invest at rates comparable to men. Retirement and other long-term investment goals suffer, as a result.

Unfortunately, the pandemic has reversed key trends in women-owned businesses and their labor participation rates overall. Studies continue to show that financial literacy is a cornerstone of economic stability and despite gains in other areas of life, women of all ages still report looking to someone else for assistance in understanding and guiding their finances.

An important component of mastering our money, finances, and investments deals with how we make decisions. While not often taught in conjunction with financial literacy, this is a skill worth devoting time to learning and practicing.  There are few areas in life where poor decisions can impact your entire future. Poor financial decisions are often the result of not having the skills or resources.

In this CPE course, speaker Ilene Slatko discusses financial decision-making and introduces different resources to help guide your skills development.

She will explain the Money Pyramid and the importance of goal setting. Because seeing the larger context is important, both macro and micro decision frameworks are presented. Attendees will leave with a checklist of important financial decision-making steps. This course will give you real-world tools to start using today.

Wherever you are in your understanding and mastery of your financial life, this CE/CPE finance webinar will give you the tools and knowledge to make the choices necessary to have a successful financial future.

Major topics covered in this webinar:

  • What is financial empowerment?
  • Decision-Making skills
  • Decision framework
  • The decision from a cost-benefit analysis POV
  • Plan to win

This CPE/ CPD Finance course encourages participants to view financial management as a critical skill. We continue to build each participant’s puzzle towards financial empowerment, a process that will continue throughout the 8-webinar series; this is the fourth of them.
