Economists would have us believe that money is neutral. But if you’ve ever negotiated a price increase in your business, had a fight with your partner or remembered what caused stress in your parents, you know that money is anything but. Money can be your relationship with your father, your self-image in society and your dynamic with your partner. This workshop, by artist and tax expert Hannah Cole, will reveal some of the hidden places where your mindset about money may be holding you back. And it will give you some helpful re-framing devices to bring money into focus as a helpful tool rather than something painful and loaded. We will discuss perfectionism, what the IRS is really looking for (hint: it’s not as bad as you think), pricing, and much more.
