Elaine King
Financial Services Professional & Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
Growing up in different countries and moving every two years to various cultures and languages was challenging and rewarding. I have learned to truly appreciate the value of money in different worlds under extreme circumstances. It has also taught me to be adaptable and share with others all the ups and downs I have experienced. As an adult I have been fortunate to work with over 1,200 families, some average workers, some multigenerational family business and mostly high net worth families. This knowledge and experience is that one I want to share with the world in a fun, practical and real way – everyone can have a positive money relationship. Let’s work together to create a personalized workshop for your children, your team or your stakeholders.
