According to a @CFAinstitute blog, “60% of US men invested in stocks compared with only 40% of women".
Each week on Fantastic Female Fridays, we aim to build this statistic by empowering women with the knowledge, resources and confidence to start investing their money wisely. Together we can take the necessary steps to achieve our financial goals.
Fantastic Female Fridays is aimed at women who:
Don’t like the stock market?
That's completely okay. Lots of people don't! However, even if you never invest, the stock market offers a superb learning curve. There is so much knowledge hidden in the complicated language and our aim is to uncover this knowledge with each episode.
In my 8-year experience working at The Institute of Banking, I have had the pleasure of hearing and working with many of the financial industry’s brightest minds. Susan ranks among the very best speakers I’ve ever encountered.
Her presentations are packed with illuminating anecdotes, telling statistics, surprising paradoxes and a refreshing dose of good humour. They are a testament to her Presentation skills.
Susan is energetic and captivates the audiences’ attention every time. She is a force of nature with an extraordinary interest in and knowledge of global politics and economics. It’s not surprising why she is involved in so many talk shows and debates with senior politicians. It is my pleasure to give Susan HayesCulleton my highest recommendation as a keynote speaker. Susan will deliver the latest, very accurate and valuable information and analysis in an inspiring and entertaining manner.”
Susan HayesCulleton is a consummate professional, a superb communicator and a master of her subject. She takes complex economic theories and brings them to life. She translates statistics into meaningful data that can be used by government and business. She has an interesting and thought-provoking way of looking at the world, helping to trigger new ways of thinking. Susan truly is The Positive Economist and is always a joy to work with and to listen to!”
“I contracted Susan HayesCulleton to tell the economic story of an EU funded initiative in June 2015. This involved collating a lot of information from a wide variety of sources, engaging with multiple stakeholders, turning technical data into digestible, interesting content across many platforms and speaking at the closing event. At every stage, Susan delivered over and above expectations. She showed exceptional interest in every detail, asked thoughtful, effective questions to yield the crucial insights, rapidly learned about the nuances of an industry, always had a smile on her face, could flexibly react effectively to every new development and is a person who I thoroughly enjoyed working with. She naturally wowed the audience with her trademark positivity, handle on the brief and indescribable energy. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any company or organisation seeking economic consultancy, a speaker for an event or to create economic thought leadership content. She is simply super!”
“Dear Susan,
I write to thank you for your active participation during the recent fourth Global Irish Economic Forum at Dublin Castle and your significant contribution as moderator for the panel “International Financial Services: Positioning Ireland for the Future”. The very positive feedback I received from the audience clearly reflects the professionalism and enthusiasm you brought to this discussion on the day.
Once again, I sincerely thank you for the valuable time and effort that you devoted to the Forum. It is very reassuring to know so many highly influential people in Ireland and around the globe remain committed to working with the Government in support of our goals of rebuilding our economy and creating jobs for our people to facilitate better public services and opportunity for all.”
“I really appreciated the excitement and life you brought to the IOD Women’s Leadership Conference. I was so impressed with your ability with the panels to encourage high-quality discussion and not take over. You had an uncanny ability to summarise the key points and bring the whole discussion together – amazing!”
“Susan Hayes Culleton crossed my path at a Women in Business event she was speaking at, her engaging informative and witty speech captivated the audience, so much so that when I was organising a business awards event in Kerry I choose Susan to be my MC for the event. She was far more than this, sitting down on the lead up to the event to discuss it all and look at ways of delivering a night to remember. She conducted proceedings on the night with ease, style and elegance and held the attention of the audience from start to finish. I cannot recommend Susan highly enough to be your support and professional mentor for any event, her enthusiastic personality will ensure that you remain positive and deliver what you want the way you want it, I really look forward to working with Susan again on many other projects.”
“Susan, big thank you for helping us to deliver the EirGrid Customer Conference in Cork this week. Your professionalism, enthusiasm and quick wit helped to keep the sessions flow with very positive energy. Well done and thanks.”
“I have listened to Susan speak and have hired her to speak at member events. You will never get tired of hearing her words of wisdom about entrepreneurship, sales and financial freedom. Her energy and enthusiasm for making the right changes to grow your business and manage your finances positively is contagious. I would highly recommend Susan as a speaker if you want an honest, open and up to date viewpoint on financial planning and management for your business.”
“Something I picked up from the NWED event in Portlaoise this week is that we should be identifying what steps we need to take to fill “the gap” between where we are now and where we want to go. Of course, this is exactly what you did. Susan, by sharing the details of your experience, you are shining a light on the stepping stones through that gap. Many thanks. And can I say that all SMEs should be following what The Positive Economist has to say.”
