BARBARA STANNY

Barbara Stanny is the author of Overcoming Underearning: Overcome Your Money Fears and Earn What you Deserve. Barbara Stanny has been giving “Overcoming Underearning” workshops for many years in California and the Northwest. After giving hundreds of workshops and publishing two books on related subjects, Stanny is an accomplished motivational speaker with her own style and an important and welcome message. The message of Overcoming Underearning is just that: if you focus on it, you can live up to your earnings potential.

Stanny’s background in business, her Master’s degree in psychology, her extensive research and her personal experience give her a unique perspective and make her the foremost expert on financial issues.

Stanny is an accomplished and entertaining motivational speaker, author and former career consultant who empowers women (and men) to live up to their financial and personal potential.

Stanny’s journey to financial independence is personally inspiring. After growing up relying first on her father (the “R” of H & R Block), and then her husband to manage her money, a devastating financial crisis provided her with a wakeup call to educate herself–and to motivate all women—to become financially empowered. For her first book, Prince Charming Isn’t Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money, she interviewed financially savvy women from diverse backgrounds. She discovered surprising insights about money and finance that all these women shared. These insights enabled her to turn her own life around.

Stanny has been featured on Good Morning America, The View, Extra, The Maury Povich Show, The O’Reilly Report, and many times on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, PBS, and NPR, as well as in the New York Times and USA Today. She travels the country as a popular keynote speaker. From 1998 until 2000, the National Association of Security Dealers (NASD) chose Stanny as a spokesperson for their Promoting Financial Sense campaign. She has also co-authored a handbook, How to Choose and Manage Financial Professionals.
