2. Money ... the last taboo

Talking about money in an open and frank way is really the last taboo. For most of us, money is a relationship (often tricky) that we cannot say adios to. Unless of course, you are the Queen of England or the Dalai Lama (who have no personal need for money) you are most likely going to be transacting, interacting and sometimes combating with it till the day you die. So understanding a little more about how you relate to money can go some way in making this relationship a little more harmonious.

3. Shame, deserving and worthy bias ... just a small conversation about money

How do governments, non-for-profits and even us, deal with adversity and what are the impacts that adversity has not only on our financial lives but on our sense of self-worth. We’ll look at who deserves what when it comes to the public purse and what are the hard decisions care organisations have to make with limited resources for those that face adversity. We’ll also be delving into an unconscious bias that we know exists, but often don’t want to talk about. It’s called ‘worthy bias’, who do we deem as being worthy of society time, money, resources and like.
