The Finance Cafe is Canada’s first gender-focused business financial learning program designed to help women entrepreneurs – and those who support them – explore behind the numbers.
The program looks at financial literacy through the lens of a woman entrepreneur’s experience to help advisors understand the gender dynamics at play around money, the importance of goal setting, the importance of money mindset, areas where women entrepreneurs have less confidence and capability around financial decision making, building a sustainable and financially viable business, and navigating through a complex financial system.
If you want to:
- Build upon your existing financial management skills
- Feel more confident having financial conversations with your clients
- Develop a deeper understanding of the unique needs and circumstances of women
entrepreneurs - Strengthen your advising and consultancy skills
- Understand how your own money mindset shapes your experience as an advisor
Created and delivered by Shannon Pestun, a proud Cree Métis woman, business strategist and
former banker and Shauna Frederick, chartered professional accountant and CFO On the Go,
we invite you to this unique financial learning cohort to WEOC advisors.
“I loved EVERYTHING about this course. I think it’s something that needs to be discussed often – and more freely! I thought it was incredibly informative. They were easy to talk to, they made it a safe place to discuss finances and I just thought the delivery was exceptional!” – The Finance Cafe participant, Fall 2022
