Mind over Money: Keynote with Claudia Hammond
Many of the conversations we have with clients touch on life’s biggest decisions, what matters most to us and the role money plays in helping us live the lives we want. That’s why we’re delighted to welcome Claudia Hammond – an award-winning BBC Radio 4 broadcaster, psychologist and author, known for her work exploring happiness, decision-making and human behaviour.
Through her keynote, Mind over Money, Claudia will explore questions such as:
-
- Can money really buy happiness?
- Why don’t we always think rationally when it comes to financial decisions?
Claudia’s work examines the relationship between money, behaviour and wellbeing, offering a fascinating perspective on how we think. Whether the subject is money, happiness, risk or decision-making, we hope you’ll leave with plenty to think about.
Citywide Reflections and Outlook: with Clinton Askew
Founder and CEO, Clinton Askew, will share his perspective on the opportunities, challenges and trends shaping the financial landscape today, together with Citywide’s outlook for the months ahead. While nobody can predict the future, we can prepare thoughtfully and learn from lessons from what history tells us.
As founder of the business, Clinton will also reflect on Citywide’s journey, the relationships we’ve built with clients and what continues to matter most as we look to the future.
