What would you do in your life if you seriously didn’t have to stress about money? Not as if you won a gazillion dollars, but what if you could just be comfortable with your financial situation, knowing that you were in great shape? Would you approach life differently?

Let our financial Career Girl and personal finance expert, Kelley Long, CPA, walk you through the steps to address why your money situation isn’t working (hint: it’s not just about numbers) then show you how to get it on track this year! The purpose of this session is to not only give you the tools to really make your financial goals come true, but in a way that frees you from stress about money for good.

Kelley Long, CPA and Personal Finance Expert

Kelley found out quite by accident that she likes to write, a discovery that has since reshaped her career path and allows her to be both creative and nerdy all while being a CPA. She passionately believes that the meaning of financial security means having choices in life and would like to see all people feel that they are living a life of their own choosing without having money as a barrier.

Formerly the head of her own practice, KCL Financial Coaching, Kelley’s career experience built on this foundation and she is now a nationally sought-after personal finance expert who is recognized for her gift of breaking complicated financial concepts down into simple terms. She delights in helping Americans take small but effective steps toward gaining control of their money and their lives and uses this expertise to inform her work as the Director of Financial Planning and Social Media Marketing for the Chicago-based accounting firm Shepard Schwartz & Harris.

Did you spend New Year’s Eve 2012 alone with your cat? Or with just a few friends? What if I told you your New Year’s Eve 2013 could be filled with a wide array of new friends and colleagues, and you’d be the most popular and sought after gal in the room? You can be! Learn in this session how to enhance the “Seven Layers of Your Personal Network” and you’ll be sure to amass a group of people around you who you not only want to party with, but grow with as well.

In this session, Marcy Twete will take you through an exercise from her upcoming book You Know Everybody! A Career Girl’s Guide to Building a Network That Works. From your closest colleagues and friends to the far-off connections you’ve met once and never reconnected with, all of your connections are valuable and every level of your personal network must be strategically built to help you to meet your goals and manifest your intentions. Marcy will guide you through the seven layers of your network and teach you to both balance the nurturing of these relationships and build new ones.

This session will teach you how to get in a productive mode so that you stay on track to hit your 2013 goals and dreams! With some simple tips and tricks that Melissa’s going to share, you’ll be able to walk away and immediately implement these easy practices.
