Hosted by the Money Guiders England Network

Money – a simple word but a complex subject

VENUE

This is an IN PERSON event in LONDON, at a venue two underground stops from Kings Cross St Pancras at the Conference Hall, Resource for London, 356 Holloway Road, London N7 6PA.

We will get together to learn about the psychology of money. This includes learning about our own relationships with money and the relationships that the people we help have with money. Understanding this could change how we give guidance and how people we help receive and act on it.

Stian Reimers, a Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Science at City, London University has spent two decades researching the behavioural science of financial decision-making.

Stian will help us to understand the psychology behind our relationships with money so that we can identify different “money personalities”. This will help us to remove biases in how we give guidance and help us to identify how people we help may perceive money differently to us.

Money can be hard and anyone can struggle with making financial decisions. Taking part in this event will give you fresh insights and inspiration to adapt how you give money guidance. We will draw on the latest research about how people think and act around money, how emotions impact financial decisions and evidence-based ideas for improving financial decisions.

As well as hearing from Professor Stian Reimers, there will be a facilitated session to help us think about how to use what we have learned in our money guidance roles.

There will also be an opportunity to hear from the Money & Pensions Service about contemporary money guidance issues.
