Behavioral Finance and the Social Side of Money
See what really drives your money decisions and take the decision back into your own hands
Most of our money decisions are not made in a spreadsheet. They are made by emotion, habit and the people around us. This lecture exposes the biases that shape spending, shows how social comparison moves our money, and gives us simple tools that put the decision back in our hands. The lecture is delivered by Alexander Slutsker, business consultant.
The content is matched in advance to your audience and goals on a short planning call.

Frequently asked questions
Is prior financial knowledge needed?
No. The lecture is about behaviour and psychology, not formulas. Every concept is explained in everyday language with real-life examples.
How is this different from a budgeting talk?
A budgeting talk is about the numbers. This one is about why we fail to keep to them, and how to design surroundings and habits that work with us rather than against us.
Is the content adapted to our audience?
Yes. Examples and emphasis are matched in advance on the intro call to the audience's age, background and the organisation's goals.
Part of the audience is experienced and part is new. Will it work?
Yes. The depth is set in advance on the planning call, examples are matched to the sector, and the base assumes no prior knowledge. Audience questions give the experienced their room too.
What is the difference between a lecture and a workshop?
A lecture delivers insights, a thinking framework and examples to a large group. A workshop adds practice, discussion and work on your own cases in a smaller group. They combine well: a lecture for everyone and a follow-up workshop for a core team.
How much does a lecture cost?
The price depends on the format, the location and the audience size. After a short intro call you receive an itemized quote, no surprises.
