A Widow’s Walk to Financial Confidence

Suzanne Norman is an Executive coach, speaker, writer, and financial literacy educator who lives by the motto, “Scientia potentia est” — knowledge is power. And when you have self-knowledge — who you are and what you want — you are much more likely to get it.

Suzanne spent three decades as a consultant and leader in the investment management industry working both with institutions and retail investors. In addition to learning many best practices about money, she also learned
that true financial wellness is a combination of mental health, physical health, and fiscal health.

Building confidence and competence in these areas is an important first step towards financial empowerment.
