Leading Women’s Financial Advocacy Coach Appointed Financial Expert by Focus Network

Jan. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- WOODSIDE, Calif.– Financial author, speaker and coach Teresa Dentino, CEO and Founder of The Financial 411, was named as a Finance Expert for Focus, a social network of world class business and technology experts who power real time Q&A, world class research, and personalized support, in January 2011 to contribute knowledge on financial matters.

Ms. Dentino was selected by Focus, who recognized the extent of her experience and expertise, along with her industry recognition. Focus Experts are pre-screened to guarantee the highest quality answers, and are signified with an "E" on comment threads. She will also have the opportunity to post articles, participate in round table discussions or webinars, and contribute to the Focus guides.

She will provide comments to questions posted by participants in online discussion forums, as well as respond to personal questions. Her answers are in line with her traditional candid advice and presentations, but are provided for the benefit of the community of some 5,000 successful individuals.

“I’m delighted to be providing my insight in the company of such talented professionals. A resource such as Focus fits strategically with my objective to demystify the financial world so that more people can participate from an informed perspective and not feel left out,” says Dentino, a frequent speaker on personal finance and the author of “What Your Mother Never Taught You About Money.”

After 26 years of establishing herself as an expert in financial matters from the perspective and in the interest of educating women, Ms. Dentino founded The Financial 411 in 2001 as a revolutionary financial education firm with the goal of uniting women and money without the chaos and confusion that often exists between the two.

“Personal finance and investing don’t have to be so confusing and overwhelming,” says Dentino from her offices in Woodside, CA.” I’ve coached hundreds of women and families who didn’t think they had the ‘math ability’ to engage successfully, and then found it wasn’t so much about math after all. “

The Financial 411 provides a destination that women, and families can go to become truly financially savvy and independent, in an environment where they do not need to feel embarrassed or insecure about asking questions. Dentino has developed a comprehensive suite of financial education and consulting programs to address improved financial outcomes and improved family financial relationships. Today her firm and her services remain the only one of its kind, led by a qualified financial professional but without the influence of investment sales.
