How to make finance beautiful | Anne Johnston | TEDxAlexanderPark

The Great Wealth Transfer has begun. Trillions of dollars are changing hands in the U.S. as older generations pass on their assets to younger ones. However, traditional financial education has often failed to effectively engage people, in particular — women and younger generations — who may perceive finance as overwhelming, confusing, and even boring! Whether you personally expect to inherit money, or not, it benefits all of us for the next generation to be empowered and engaged in their financial lives. What if instead the world of finance was clear, approachable, and beautiful? In this talk, Anne Johnston — founder & managing director of Created Wealth Advisory — uses creative tools like visuals, stories, metaphors, games, and music to illustrate a fresh approach to financial education. Anne B. Johnston is the founder and managing director of Created, a boutique wealth advisory. She believes that if we can make the world of finance clear, approachable, and beautiful, then people will engage with their financial lives and become more powerful. Anne was named one of Forbes America’s Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors, and one of The Most Influential Wealth Managers in Los Angeles by the LA Business Journal. Her recent CNBC piece “Women, let’s talk about money” reflects her mission: to help people clarify their vision of freedom and fulfillment so they can focus their resources on what's really important to them. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
