Making Sense of Money:
Aligning Money and Values
Robert Kenny

Money has been referred to as "the last taboo"— a topic not generally broached in polite company, often considered more uncomfortable to talk about than sex. Yet our relationship to money affects nearly every aspect of our lives. This workshop is for all people who understand that money is having a big impact in their lives. It is for people who are wondering about their life choices, who are worried about out-of-control spending or who find that work consumes them, or perhaps want to understand what drives them to give so much to their children. Parents, grandparents, professionals and advisors might be particularly interested in attending. We will examine personal myths and attitudes about money and the fundamental tension that often exists between money and our core values. Through in-depth conversation, personal reflection and dynamic exercises, we will examine the money dilemmas we face in relationships at home, at work and in the community. We will share our experiences and solutions and address ethical questions fundamental in an affluent society, such as: “What is money for?” “Can we transform our relationship with money into a creative force?” “How can we better align our money with our values and our goals?” You will leave with new insights and tools, resources, and inspiration for continued change in your relationship to money.
