Financial Literacy Workshops

Hosting an event? We’ve got you covered.Choose from one of our prepared workshops, or let us curate the perfect tailor-made presentation for your audience.

This isn’t a boring lecture. Here’s why you’re going to absolutely love learning with us!

Cindy Marques has been in the game for 9 years, and public speaking has always been her forte. She is incredibly charismatic, knowledgeable, and can always break down complex ideas into plain language with easy-to-understand approaches. Learning feels easy (and enjoyable!) when she’s in front of the room. 

Cheesy-joke haters beware… this girl loves a good pun and will undoubtedly sprinkle in her sense of humour throughout the presentation. Be prepared to walk away from our workshops feeling uplifted, confident and financially savvy (and kinda like you could be her best friend). Cindy makes money make sense! 😉
