The 2008 book “Nudge” reinvented the way we view behavioral finance, with Spock and Homer Simpson as our perfect case studies. Now, we’re back to take another look at the science of human behavior and how we can help students make optimal decisions and take actions, in a time of doing more with less.

Based on the updated “Nudge: The Final Edition,” this session provides insight into creating effective messages that inspire students to take action. We’ll review nudge theory basics, including ethics and implications, while incorporating new findings from the authors’ works. And, of course, we’ll discuss how nudges can work with your students. Don’t miss out on this fun and informative session!

As financial educators, we know the link between emotions and money, and often have to play the role of unofficial therapist; hey, there’s a reason behavioral therapy is a thing! As such, we may use positive tactics to encourage and motivate those we serve. But what if this approach is doing more harm than good?

What if we could deepen our conversations by embracing the suck, while also helping others better understand how to achieve and maintain happiness as part of holistic financial wellness?

Inceptia continues our behavioral science dive with a new look at how to be happy – but also, why being happy is not always the right response in building financial health.

In this session, we’ll talk through the benefits of feeling ALL the feels and how to find peace and
balance through:

  • Applying behavioral science theory to maximize happiness
  • Learning to identify toxic positivity – and just say no!

Higher education is no stranger to DEI programming. Yet, with a renewed focus on creating equitable and inclusive learning spaces, there may be misconceptions as to what DEI actually IS – and what it isn’t.

Join us for a thirty-minute lunch and learn session to better understand how we define diversity, equity, and inclusion and how we may integrate DEI into the work we do for students. Participants will come away from the session with a resource guide for further developing DEI initiatives.

Back by popular demand, we continue our behavioral science dive with a new look at how to be happy – but also, why being happy is not always the right response.

At a time when we are all overwhelmed and maybe even burned out (ahem, the Great Resignation?), the focus on finding happiness is more relevant than ever before. Yet, we may find ourselves chasing joy, only to have it quickly fade once we reach our goal. Why is that?

Or, sometimes, you just want to feel down and it seems like the whole world wants a parade. Why are we so afraid of sadness, and how can a relentlessly sunny disposition actually be bad for you?

In this webinar replay, we’ll talk through these ideas and how to find peace and balance through:
  • Applying behavioral science theory to maximize happiness
  • Learning to identify toxic positivity – and just say no!

Did you know that in America, women make $.82 for every dollar that a man makes? For BIPOCwomen, those amounts are even less, with Latina women experiencing the largest wage disparity at $.55 to every dollar.

The pandemic has further compounded the issue, with women disproportionately impacted by job loss that resulted in $800 billion in lost income.

So what can we do about it?

This session will explore the root causes of the gender wage gap, the downstream effects on society and our economy, and how we can educate ALL students to take action to combat gender disparity.

Mindfulness may sound like a trendy buzzword that has more to do with yoga than higher education, but what if it could be used to help higher ed professionals decompress, handle work stress, and better serve students? And even if it did, who has the time?

Matters of money are big in people’s lives – maybe now more than ever. The Financial Aid Office knows this all too well. How do we handle interactions with students that show we care, want to be of service, and that we want them to succeed even when we might not be able to tell them what they want to hear? One answer may be in enhancing our Emotional Intelligence.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions in an effective and positive way. A high Emotional Intelligence helps individuals to communicate better, reduce their anxiety and stress, defuse conflicts, improve relationships, empathize with others, listen effectively, and effectively work through many of life's challenges.

Join us as Evan Roth, Principal and Executive Coach of Roth Consultancy International guides us through an exploration of some Emotional Intelligence components. We’ll talk through:

  • How awareness of how our emotions can positively impact our interactions with students
  • How listening and empathy can produce outcomes
  • How reframing stress can keep us from becoming entirely depleted
  • How regulating our emotional expression can serve us and others
