As we build the business of Emotions at Work, the two of us have regular discussions about money. Recently, we’ve been talking about (personal) spending and saving, in relation to making money–and all of the emotions involved. 

In particular, we’ve been struck by the power that organizing and visualizing our household finances have for decision-making and distinguishing between real vs perceived scarcity. 

As we both love a good system, we got excited to share our respective systems and thought, wouldn’t it be great to have that conversation with a slightly bigger group?! 

First we’ll have short “show and tells” from three people of the systems they have in place to manage their money. Then, we’ll have open discussions to reflect and explore whatever comes up. We’ll end with identifying what would make each of us more resourced and intentional about moving forward with our finances in a way that embraces the emotions involved.
