Financial decisions are rarely as rational as we think. In this episode, Hannah Munro is joined by Lesley Thomas, Founder of the Money Confidence Academy, to explore the hidden psychology driving the choices CFOs and finance leaders make every day.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why financial decisions are driven more by emotion than data
• The role your childhood relationship with money plays in your leadership style today
• How to separate personal identity from the decisions your role demands you make
• Why avoiding difficult conversations creates a "hidden tax" on your organisation's performance
• How to overcome decision paralysis and know when you have enough information to act
• The importance of building a culture where your team feels safe to share ideas and concerns
• Lesley's Five R's framework for making clearer, faster, and more confident decisions
