The Gap in Most Corporate Financial Wellness Programs
If your team has access to a pension portal, a payroll-linked savings tool, and an annual budgeting webinar, you already have a financial wellness program. So why do exit surveys still show financial anxiety? Why do high-performing employees report stress about money even when their compensation is competitive?
- Budgeting workshops solve the wrong problem. Your highest performers know how to budget. The block is not skills — it is the felt experience of money: anxiety, avoidance, worthiness ceilings, inherited patterns from their family of origin.
- Generic "wellbeing" programs miss the financial dimension entirely. Mindfulness apps and yoga subsidies do not touch the 2am money worry that is keeping your top engineer awake.
- Tick-the-box compliance content is invisible. Once-a-year mandatory training has near-zero engagement and zero behavioural change.
What the Inside-Out Money Therapy Method Brings to Your Team
The Inside-Out Money Therapy Method is a non-clinical, therapy-informed coaching framework developed by Ilana Jankowitz over a decade of work with high-achieving women. It addresses what spreadsheets cannot reach: the felt experience of money. Adapted for the corporate context, it gives your team five practical, evidence-based pillars they can apply the same week they hear them.
Feeling Safe with Money
Address the nervous-system response to money — the freeze, avoidance, and 2am worry. Practical tools your team can use the same evening.
Worthiness & Earning
The internal ceiling that limits negotiation, salary asks, and price-setting for those with bonus-linked or commission-linked roles.
Receiving
The capacity to hold what comes in — relevant for high earners who report feeling unable to enjoy their compensation.
Autonomy
Decision-making frameworks for money choices — distinguishing fear-based from values-based financial decisions.
Inherited Patterns
The single most powerful lever for behaviour change: surfacing the family-of-origin money scripts that drive adult money behaviour.
Workshop Formats
Every engagement starts with a free briefing call to understand your team, your existing wellbeing programs, and what success looks like. Workshops are designed bespoke from there.
Lunch-and-Learn
60–90 minute introduction
A single live session introducing one pillar of the method. Best for testing the approach before committing to a longer program. Recorded for absent team members.
Half-Day Workshop
3–4 hour deep dive
One full pillar treated in depth, with guided exercises and small-group breakouts. Best for offsites, leadership retreats, and team weeks.
Multi-Week Program
5-session series
One pillar per week for five weeks. Best for ongoing wellbeing programs and high-investment cohorts. Each session is 60–90 minutes, recorded, with optional 1:1 follow-ups.
Custom Engagement
Bespoke design
For larger organisations, equity-event preparation (IPO, acquisition, redundancy programs), or executive cohorts. Scoped together during the briefing call.
Who This Is For
- HR & People teams looking to refresh financial wellness programs that are not landing.
- Wellbeing leads at organisations where mental-health programs exist but financial wellbeing is a gap.
- Founders & COOs at growth-stage companies preparing teams for equity events (IPO, acquisition) where money anxiety spikes.
- D&I leaders running gender-equity programs — financial confidence is a recognised structural barrier for women in pay equity.
- EAP and benefits providers looking for a non-clinical, behaviourally-grounded financial wellness module.
Bring This to Your Organisation
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute briefing call. No commitment. We discuss your team, your existing programs, and whether this approach fits — and design a workshop only if it does.
