Follow on Google News | Cali Pearl Corp. and Therapist Leslie Kausch Present Workshop on Women’s Investment ChallengesSherri Brown of Cali Pearl Corp and Therapist Leslie Kausch announce a new workshop series entitled, “Women, Wealth and Wine.” The workshop series will address challenges women face as they prepare for their financial future.
By: Cali Pearl Corporation “[Leslie] and I created a partnership, which I believe is the first between a therapist and a financial planner, to ultimately address and help conquer some of the self-sabotaging financial behaviors many women experience,” Brown goes onto note that the U.S. News and World Report article, while informational and realistic, backs up several studies on women’s investment behavior completed by major financial firms completed in recent years. She recounts an online survey completed by MassMutual. “MassMutual completed an online survey between November 15, 2009 and January 15, 2010 which interviewed over 1,000 of the company’s retirement plan participants,” While there are still significant workplace earning equality challenges in the lives of many women, in approximately one-third of all American households women who are in relationships are the primary breadwinner. As such, these negative attitudes toward investing and retirement serve to not only hurt the woman in the relationship, but also her entire family. Kausch agrees with Brown’s position and adds that she believes many of these attitudes toward finances are rooted in deeper psychological fears. “Women’s lack of interest in financial planning is ultimately a type of fear, a sense of powerlessness,” Whether single or married, Brown and Kausch have discovered that conversations about money inevitably lead to the realization of bigger life issues for many women and that while married women might automatically defer financial decisions to their spouse, single women who refuse to take charge of their financial futures might also be harboring other money-related issues, including using money as a way to feel loved, achieving a sense of purpose via shopping or through the acquiring of material possessions. “As the MassMutual study shows and the U.S. News article proves, women have this tendency to voluntarily create financial disadvantages for themselves or use antiquated belief systems when it comes to being responsible for their own futures,” commented Brown. “At the same time, I’ve been working with women for a very long time and I’d like to say that each woman is unique and has her own perspective when it comes to financial planning. This also leads to the fact that sometimes there are deeper issues that I cannot handle as a financial planner. That is why Leslie [Kausch] and I developed a partnership. I know what it takes to become a successful investor; Leslie knows how to address fears and other roadblocks that prevent women from moving their lives forward.” The dynamic duo of Brown and Kausch are eager to instill their experience and open up the floor to have an informative and honest financial discussion with area women who are interested in taking the first step in addressing their financial futures or who want to change attitudes regarding their role in creating an effective financial plan.
