Ideas worth bringing into the room
Each theme can become a talk, workshop, panel discussion or interview. The examples and emphasis are shaped around your audience and what you want them to take away.
Success & life by design
Earning more and achieving more can still leave us with less control over our days. A fresh way to define success around the life we actually want—not just what looks impressive.
Takeaway: A clearer test for whether the success you're building is creating more choice or quietly taking it away.
Business, systems & AI
Find the time leaks. Get recurring tasks out of your head and into a system. Explore where processes, automation and AI can reduce repetitive work without adding more complexity.
Takeaway: Practical ways to spot work that can be simplified, systemised or automated—and decide what to tackle first.
Money, wealth & choice
What years in banking and conversations across the income spectrum reveal about earning, spending and the moving goalposts of “enough”. Why a bigger income isn't the same as a life with more options.
Takeaway: Better questions about what money is for and the trade-offs behind financial and lifestyle decisions.
Decisions & change
Familiarity can feel like security, even when the future depends on decisions outside our control. An honest look at risk, competing goals and choosing differently when the old plan no longer fits.
Takeaway: A more useful way to weigh uncertainty and make decisions aligned with the life you want next.
Money topics are educational and reflective, not regulated financial or investment advice.
Why Marie?
Marie brings together commercial experience, professional coaching and the practical work of building and running businesses.
After around five years coaching entrepreneurs through a major UK bank's accelerator, she now brings that perspective to her work as COO of Finanze and founder of The Freedom Game®.
She puts these ideas into practice: building AI-supported CRM and payment workflows, removing repetitive admin, and systemising as much of her social media marketing as the platforms allow. At Finanze, her operational work centres on getting tasks out of people's heads and into reliable systems.
