Women’s financial health takes center stage this month, as Fidelity Investments offers two keynote webinars in honor of Women’s History Month.
The first, Unlock Your Money’s Full Potential on Thursday, March 7, features Emmy-nominated producer, television host, food expert and New York Times best-selling author Padma Lakshmi, as she addresses the “recipe for success” toward building healthy financial habits. Lakshmi and a panel of Fidelity experts will share stories about best – and worst – money moments and financial lessons learned; and provide actionable tips about saving, investing, and building healthy habits.
Viola Davis, an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award-winning entertainer (EGOT), headlines How to Build Money and Career Success on Thursday, March 21 – and she should know. Davis and a Fidelity panel will explore the secrets to taking control of your finances and building a career that thrives while enhancing your personal well-being.
