Marketing Coach at Company of Women

Oakville Beaver

Maxine Hyndman, author of The Naked Millionaire: A Women's Guide to a Healthy Relationship with Money, will be the guest speaker at the Jan. 10 dinner hosted by Company of Women.

As a money and marketing coach, Hyndman has helped hundreds of individuals make financial leaps in their lives by sharing her story and her unique perspective on the rela­tionship between ourselves and our money. At the heart of her financial coaching is the concept of 'wealth.'

True wealth, she believes, is not about how much money you've made - or lost - rather, it's about developing a healthy relationship with money, one that's free from the cycle of fear, avoidance and guilt.

'Many of us have a dysfunc­tional relationship with money. We often feel overwhelmed by financial concerns and decide that we are incapable of coping with money matters.' observes Hyndman.

She became interested in money and her relationship with it when she filed for bank­ruptcy and has since focused her career on helping others gain financial literacy. Hyndman has also changed her attitude to money. 'I'm no longer willing to compromise my values for work that pays big bucks. I only take work that is rewarding, both spiritually and financially.'

Company of Women is an organization that supports, connects and promotes women in business. Its monthly dinner meetings are open to all women and are held at the Burlington Convention Centre, 1120 Burloak Dr., Burlington.
