Entrepreneurship: An Economic Pathway to a Woman's 100-Year Life

In this episode Shannon will sit down with Karen Bird, Investment Advisor with RBC Dominion Securities, to discuss the important role our business plays in our financial future. Karen will share insights and advice on the importance of aligning our personal and business financial goals, why being financially independent is vital for our health & wellness, gender differences when it comes to money, and much more. Karen knows that not everyone enjoys or knows how to deal with investing decisions which means that many of us don’t give our financial lives the attention and planning it deserves. Which is why she’s built a career around building relationships with people in all stages of their journey with money from Entrepreneurs, to Executives, Professionals, Retirees, Wealth Builders, and beyond. Karen is a leader in the financial services sector and an award-winning professional who’s won prestigious awards including: the Influential Women of Northern Ontario Aboriginal Leadership Award, Athena Leadership Award and the Regional Presidents Diversity Leadership Award.
