Lead Lunch and Learn: Demystifying Finance

Lead Lunch and Learn

Join us for a lunchtime educational workshop. Get empowered with women and non-binary leaders at this powerful educational event!

Ditch the elevator pitch- our events support connection and collaboration! At She Goes High, we don't blindly pass out business cards or ask, "so, what do you do?"

We support the human BEHIND the business, not the humas AS the business.

WHEN: The first Wednesday of the month, 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

WHERE: Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce, 225 S Meldrum St · Fort Collins, CO

COST: Free!

WHO IT'S FOR: Our events are neurodivergent-affirming and designed for introverts, by introverts. (The extroverts show up anyway!) We are a safe space and LBTQIA+ folx are welcome here!

ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION:

You know that getting the right financial plan in place is important but every time you sit down with someone you’re completely paralyzed. Between all the industry jargon plus the intimidation factor of talking about money, it can be hard to get your plan in place.

Join Ashley for Demystifying Finance. In her presentation, we will
- Define common finance terms and acronyms to create a shared language
- Explore how different investments fit together in a portfolio
- Put finance in the context of the present moment and your small business, so you'll know what your next best step is to move forward on your financial journey

Plan to walk away with a better understanding of the world of finance and how it translates to you.
