FORMAT

Webinars &
Sessions

Online sessions delivered live and made available as recordings. Each session covers one focused topic from the course curriculum.

HOW IT WORKS

The session format

Each webinar runs for approximately 75 minutes. The first 50 minutes cover the session topic through presentation and worked examples. The remaining time is structured Q&A — questions submitted in advance are prioritised, but live questions are taken where time allows.

Sessions are conducted in English. Participants join via a standard video conferencing link sent by email before the session.

You do not need to have attended previous sessions to follow any individual webinar, though the modules build logically on each other.

CURRICULUM

Session topics

The course runs across four core sessions with an optional introductory session for those new to the subject.

Introduction: What Is Social Comparison?

Optional / Introductory

An overview of social comparison theory and why it is relevant to financial behaviour. Covers the basic psychology, introduces key terms, and sets the context for the four main sessions. Suitable for participants with no prior background in psychology.

01

Reference Groups and Your Spending

Core Session

Explores how reference groups form, how they shift over a lifetime, and how each group exerts different kinds of pressure on financial behaviour. Participants map their own reference groups and examine which ones are currently most influential.

02

Status, Signals, and What You Actually Buy

Core Session

Examines the role of status signalling in consumer behaviour. Looks at which product and service categories carry the most social signal weight, how this varies across different social groups, and practical ways to identify when a purchase decision is primarily signal-driven.

03

Building Your Own Measure of Success

Core Session

The most practically focused session. Introduces frameworks for defining financial success on your own terms. Covers how to create personal metrics that remain stable when your social environment changes, and how to use them as a decision-making reference point.

04

Navigating Environmental Change

Core Session

Addresses what happens to spending behaviour during major life transitions: career changes, relocations, relationship changes, and shifts in social circles. Provides tools for maintaining financial clarity when the social context around you is in flux.
