Financial values and dominant money personalities affect everyone’s financial decisions. The focus of this course is for learners to investigate their dominant money personality and financial values; understanding what drives financial behaviours can give learners more control over their financial decision-making.

Structure
This course consists of three key areas:
- Money personality profiles
- Financial values
- How money personalities and financial values affect financial decision making
We start by identifying and analysing each learner’s dominant money personality and top financial values and then work through the impact of these on financial decision-making. We finish by examining easy-to-implement strategies to improve future financial decision making.
