Thank you for reminding me that I must always be financially aware and and that every decision we make must be flexible enough to build budgeting barriers between my wants and needs.

Ms. Armstrong’s presentation was excellent, easy to follow and extremely practical.  She is a great asset to Barbados. Even though she was fully aware that she was presenting to persons with disabilities, unlike other persons, she treated us like equals and did not judge or discriminate in any way. I hope that we can form a relationship with her and she can return soon.

The financial wellness session facilitated by Marcia for our team members in Operations and Administration was both timely and impactful. It created a safe, practical space for employees to engage in meaningful conversations about money and personal financial decision-making—topics that are often overlooked. I observed increased awareness and openness around financial wellbeing, with employees better equipped to think more holistically about how financial stress that can actually affect focus, performance, and overall wellbeing. Marcia’s approach was down to earth, practical, relatable, and engaging, which contributed significantly to the strong connection with partcipants. I would encourage organisations to view financial wellness training not as a "nice to have," but as an investment in their people!

Upon hearing that we were having a session on finance I thought that I would not be interested. However I was pleasantly surprised that Ms. Armstrong was able to capture my attention with her knowledge about managing finances and the presentation was very interesting. I have even started to implement some of her suggestions.

The presentation on financial planning was informative and provided a lot of food for thought. She gave a lot of ideas and solutions on how to improve the management of funds as it relates to personal and organisational finances.  She was real and to the point and she provided real life examples.

Our team at Western Wholesale Inc and Atlantic Marketing Co Ltd had the pleasure of participating in a financial wellness training session facilitated by Marcia. The session was insightful, engaging, and provided practical strategies that our employees could immediately apply to their personal finances. Marcia’s approach made complex financial concepts easy to understand, and our team walked away feeling more confident about budgeting, saving, and planning for the future. We highly recommend her sessions to any organization looking to empower their employees with financial knowledge and tools.

During my tenure as Human Resources Manager at a legal firm, I engaged Ms. Marcia Armstrong of A Purpose Life in 2025 to facilitate a financial wellness seminar for our employees. Marcia is a dynamic and highly engaging professional whose passion for empowering individuals through financial education is immediately evident. Her presentation was impactful, practical, and thought-provoking, delivering financial concepts in a way that was both accessible and relevant to employees at all levels of the organisation. The session generated meaningful discussion and prompted employees to reflect on their financial habits, goals, and long-term wellbeing. The training clearly demonstrated the importance and value of financial wellness programmes for both employees and management. Financial stress is a significant factor affecting performance, focus, and overall wellbeing, and Marcia’s session highlighted how proactive financial education can positively influence productivity, morale, and decision-making in the workplace. Programmes such as this play a critical role in supporting staff wellbeing, strengthening engagement, and reinforcing a positive organisational culture. By investing in financial wellness, organisations signal genuine care for their people beyond the workplace, which in turn builds trust, loyalty, and resilience across teams. I would strongly encourage other organisations to consider offering similar financial wellness training to their employees. Marcia Armstrong brings not only deep financial knowledge, but also authenticity, clarity, and purpose to her work—making her an excellent partner for any organisation committed to holistic employee wellbeing.

Through my many conversations with staff one recurring theme is always money, with many not understanding how to budget, prioritize and manage what money they have. Inviting your company to conduct financial awareness sessions opened the awareness for many staff. It demonstrated simple things they can take responsibility for and do on their own. It told them, I am in control of my money and I choose how to use it. The importance of financial wellness and literacy cannot be underscored. With a majority employee base of young persons (under age35) I felt it was important to enhance their awareness about how they can begin to build wealth, irrespective of where they are at the moment. The financial workshops conducted by you, opened this portal. it provided awareness, shared knowledge and more importantly for those who were ready it provided a launch pad. It was equally beneficial to the older members of staff who are looking ahead and are not always sure how to prepare for retirement. Demystifying finance and making it relatable is part of the role of wellness as I see it. Employees who feel looked after, look after your business. Wellness is a holistic approach, and as the manager for Employee Relations & Wellness, I believe providing employees with the knowledge on how to improve or design a life based on understanding is key. Your workshops did not only provide talk, tools were shared so that persons could use and apply long after the sessions.
