 Certified Money Coach | Toronto, ONSpecialization: debt management, retirement, women in transition “I find my inspiration in a simple quote: ‘She believed she could so she did.’ My goal is to provide financial guidance that gives my clients the confidence to follow their own paths.” Renée's Style Renée is optimistic and passionate about life. Yet she is a realist and pragmatic about money—it is a means to an end. Renée is caring and encouraging, while offering the contagious energy of her steadfast financial style. Renée's Story As the daughter of a working single mother, Renée learned first hand the importance of being in control of your financial life and the pride and freedom that come with it. This foundation served her well personally and professionally. After 17 successful years in Advertising Sales & Management, Renée decided it was time to change paths—to help others take control of their money and experience the same life benefits. She went back to school for formal financial training, graduated with honours and successfully completed her Certified Financial Planning (CFP) exam and is working towards her CFP designation. Renée had three goals when starting her new career. She wanted to help people get financially “fit,” to provide her experience and expertise on a fee-for-service basis, and to demystify everyday finances for women in particular. As a money coach with MCC, Renée’s goals are being realized. Testimonials I felt scattered and not really sure where to start or what specific areas to look at. Now I feel like I have been given a direction and a map to follow. I could see exactly what I needed to do, and I felt more confident following through with these steps knowing that there was someone I could ask if I ran into any problems. I also have tools that I can use to check up on my own financial health in the future. - Roxanne, November 2011 For the first time in 25 years of working, I was surprised on a Thursday when checking my bank balances to discover it was payday. This was extraordinary for someone who had been living paycheck to paycheck! Renée built a financial plan for me that I actually feel in control of. With my plan I have saved more on interest charges than I have spent on coaching fees! - M. Rochon, Director Business Development, April 2011 I feel I received great value as my plan was generated according to my goals, and I was guided for several months along the path of achieving those goals. Before I started working with a Money Coach, I felt anxious about money and finances but now I feel more confident. - M. Lipman, Sales Representative, Feb. 2011 Renée managed to take a topic that gives me great stress and break it down to make my short term and long term goals more attainable. She took the time to get a clear view of my lifestyle, my income, and my goals. I now feel better in the decisions I am making around the money I earn. - A.Hopkins , Consultant IT Services, Dec. 2010 | Office: (416) 617-2511 renee@moneycoachescanada.ca Heads & Tails of Money Seminar Jan 27th or 28th 2012 Oakville, ON Click here for more info |
