#10 Let’s Talk Finances – Nicole Cline, The Policy Circle
Season 1, Episode #10 Let’s Talk Finances w/ Nicole Cline - Director, External Relations & Expansion the Policy Circle
Money is a commodity we deal with every day and is essential for everyone. It brings context as a measurement of value to the goods, services, and resources that we have, need, and give. And yet, money is often discussed in hushed tones, if it is discussed at all. Limited discussion and opportunities to learn about money may result in a lack of basic financial knowledge and management skills, known as financial literacy. Financial literacy is key to understanding both our tangible and intangible assets so we can best manage our finances and ourselves.
During this deep dive into The Policy Circle’s financial literacy brief , Sylvie and Nicole Cline, Director of External Relations and Expansion at The Policy Circle, will discuss financial facts, applying financial knowledge, and sound financial management.
Please feel free to read Financial Literacy brief along with Sylvie and Nicole.
