SUMMARY:From Small Steps to Lasting Habits: Lessons from the Plootus 21-Day Financial Habits Challenge
DESCRIPTION:What happens when financial wellness education moves beyond information and into action—one small step at a time? \nJoin Plootus and AFCPE®️ for an inside look at the design\, implementation\, and evaluation of the 21-Day Financial Habits Challenge\, developed through the Mary O’Neill Mini Grant. The Challenge used daily\, low-effort financial actions delivered by email to help participants build awareness\, reduce financial stress\, and develop sustainable financial habits. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll share what we learned from 368 participants\, including: \nHow a 21-day\, micro-action approach was designed around behavioral science principles. \n\nWhich financial habits participants found easiest to sustain.\nWhat the data revealed about financial confidence\, stress\, savings automation\, and habit continuation.\nWhy the Financial Survival Number emerged as one of the most impactful exercises.\nWhat worked\, what fell short—including the 63% completion rate versus the original 80% goal—and what we would change in the next iteration.\nPractical recommendations and tools for financial professionals interested in adapting the model for their own clients or communities.\n\nParticipants will leave with actionable ideas for designing financial wellness interventions that turn education into small\, repeatable behaviors—and behaviors into lasting habits. \nPresenter: Ritu Jethani is the Business Development and Compliance advisor to Plootus with 20+ years of experience in risk management\, compliance\, and operational resilience across global organizations. Previously the Senior Vice President and Global Head of Risk & Compliance at Bounteous\, she led enterprise programs spanning regulatory compliance\, cybersecurity\, data privacy\, ESG\, business continuity\, and third-party risk. \nCost: $50/Free for AFCPE Members
