Bring Back the P.E.R.S.O.N.A.L. in Personal Finance!

Suitable for all who don't feel the "one size fits all" approach to personal finance works for them.

I created an acronym and go through ways to make your personal finance personal for you - tailored for you. Money should not have a one-size-fits-all approach, and in this presentation I talk about such topics as priorities, setting goals, observing/assessing, automation, learning, and more!

Attendees learn through high-energy interaction how to personalize their personal finances and make their money realistically work for them in their lives. They will walk away with actionable ideas that they can begin to implement immediately!

Molly Ford-Coates did several presentation to the White Sands Missile Range workforce on our Thrift Savings Plan, ways to contribute, the intricacies of participating and how to be financially responsible. Mrs. Ford-Coates is a very dynamic, fun and engaging speaker, and inspires people to listen and participate in her presentations. Molly loves inspiring people to take control of their personal finances. She truly embodies the reason you “should choose her!”

As Molly's former employer, I heard her give multiple presentations during her time with me. Her confidence, knowledge, and passion for personal finance were easily noticeable. She made connections with everyone in attendance, answering questions that were raised with ease. Molly brought to the presentation a sense of humor and creativity which made understanding of the subject easy and enjoyable. She was well prepared and a breath of fresh air in today's world of speakers.

Molly spoke this morning to the 561st squadron at Robins Air Force Base about the civilian TSP retirement. She took a subject which is boring and or confusing to most and set the room on fire!! Approximately 20 mins into her presentation she had 250+ people excited and asking questions. In 14 years of Govt service we have never had a speaker present this lecture in such a professional yet exciting way. We will highly recommend her to the other squadrons and bases for speaking engagements.

I am not a very computer savvy person, but I feel very at ease talking to her. She spoke to me and my fellow employees about 300 of us. She is energetic, friendly, and full of knowledge. I plan to get her help and get me prepared for my retirement 10 years from now.
