Hiring a professional financial guest speaker offers benefits you may not yet know. Yes, you encourage your financial team and top brass to consider new, better approaches to wealth management. But education in personal finance benefits not only your employees—it benefits your company.
Lack of money management skills among staff can lead to financial hardship. This financial stress results in job and wage dissatisfaction, distraction on the job and even substance abuse. Hiring a financial expert to speak at your next corporate event provides associates with the inspiration to take charge of their own lives, and educates them on the real-world tools required to do so. With that in mind, let’s look at 10 of the most influential financial keynote speakers now available for hire:
