MONEY MOMENT
Our keynote speaker will be joining us in person!
Come meet Syble Solomon, the money personality guru and designer of the Money Habitude card game.
The 7th annual Southern Tier Women's Financial Conference scheduled for October 23, 2021 will feature keynote speaker Syble Solomon in person. The event will be offered both in person and online from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at The Center on Park Avenue in Corning. Syble is a speaker, educator and coach who specializes in the psychology of money. She developed Money Habitudes, a money personality profile that helps people talk about money and understand what motivates their money behaviors.

Syble’s keynote topic is entitled H.O.T. F.L.A.S.H. This isn’t what you are thinking….HOT FLASH can help you take control of your life today whatever your age! Forget about the guilt that your life isn’t in balance. Pay attention to these eight areas of life and all will work out! You can live your fullest life today and be prepared to have choices in the future. The eight areas she will cover include Health, Others (relationships with others), Transition (how to you manage change), Finances, Legal issues, Activities of life, Spirituality and Self-development, and Housing.

Syble’s eclectic background has prepared her to look at life through many lenses. She has been quoted in over 100 publications including the New York Times, Washington Post, Redbook and Morningstar. She has appeared on TV and radio shows and has spoken internationally at women’s conferences and financial planning conferences. Her favorite audiences are conferences like this one for women who share her passion to take control of their lives and prepare for a future with options for themselves and their families.
