Your employees aren’t just overwhelmed by money...

They’re delaying decisions, avoiding investing, and carrying financial stress into work every single day.



Maximized Money makes financial wellness feel approachable, actionable, and empowering for beginners.

THE PROBLEM

Financial stress doesn't stay at home.

It shows up at every standup, every 1:1, every deadline — as less focus, more distraction, and decisions delayed by quiet financial overwhelm.

This isn't just a financial issue. It's a performance issue.

Thinking about money during the workday

Second-guessing financial decisions

Delaying actions that move them forward

Avoiding investing — for years or decades

THE PROGRAM

Two parts.
One transformation.

Action-driven experiences for employee wellness events, professional development days, ERG programming, DEI initiatives, and women's leadership.

PART 01 · FOUNDATIONS

How to use your income to start building wealth.

Take control of the money earned today and build a clear path to investing — no prior knowledge or experience required.

  • Understand how the stock market actually works
  • Explore beginner-friendly investment options
  • Build clarity and confidence without overwhelm
PART 02 · IMPLEMENTATION

How to turn your income into your first investment.

A hands-on session for beginners ready to stop researching and start. Employees invest their first $100 — live, in the room.

  • Open an investment account, guided step-by-step
  • Choose their first investment with confidence
  • Invest their first $100 during the experience

Most workshops stop at education.

This one ends in action.

Employees are guided step-by-step through their first investment in real time — so they leave with confidence, clarity, and momentum, not a PDF or course they'll never open.

Joshlyn did such a great job keeping the audience engaged. Financial workshops can sometimes feel like lectures, but she created activities that people wanted to participate in. Everyone had great things to say about her delivery and enthusiasm. We look forward to partnering with her again!

This was refreshing! One thing that really stuck with me: investing is NOT a set-it-and-forget-it game. Even when someone else is managing your money, you need to stay engaged and informed. That's YOUR money working for YOU. Also, invest early and often.
