Your Employees Are Bringing Money Stress to Work Every Day
59% of employees say financial stress is hurting their productivity right now. They are distracted. They are stressed. They are solving a money problem in their heads while they are supposed to be solving yours.
That stress does not stay home when they clock in. It follows them into meetings and shapes the decisions they make, the focus they hold, and the confidence they carry. And it happens at every income level. Your highest earners can feel just as uncertain about money as your newest hires.
Organizations feel the symptoms without ever seeing the cause, from quiet disengagement to real turnover. U.S. employers lose $250 billion a year to financially driven distraction. Most respond by giving employees more information, another portal or packet or webinar. But information was never the problem. Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different games.
I believe your people can do better with the right support. Not another lecture, but a practical system they can run in real life. That is exactly what Hillary brings to the stage.
Performance-Based Approach to Financial Wellness
For more than 16 years, Hillary Seiler has helped people and organizations rethink their relationship with money. A certified financial educator her clients simply call Coach Hill, she brings a performance-based approach to financial wellness, built on one hard-won truth: financial confidence is not about earning more or sitting through more information. It is about learning to make stronger decisions under pressure.
Hillary built her name coaching professional athletes on their money, more than a dozen NFL and NBA organizations and counting. The lessons she uncovered in those locker rooms reach far beyond sports. Your employees face the same challenges athletes do: pressure, competing priorities, emotional decisions, and the need for a system that holds up when life gets loud. That is the playbook she brings to your stage.

THE TRAIN YOUR MONEY PERFORMANCE MODEL™
Hillary Seiler is the creator of the Train Your Money Performance Model™, a performance-based framework that helps employees turn compensation complexity into clarity, discipline, and measurable financial behavior change.
The framework is trusted by NFL teams and national employers to strengthen financial decision-making, reduce stress-driven reactions, and improve workforce performance.
Through high-impact keynotes and structured programming, Hillary helps employees move from financial distraction to financial control. Participants leave with clear priorities, a sequenced action plan, and a repeatable system they can apply immediately.
TRAIN YOUR MONEY
LIKE A PRO ATHLETE
Why employees at every income level struggle with money, and how it’s quietly costing you focus, decisions, and results.
Elite athletes don’t just show up and hope for the best. They train with intention, they follow a game plan, and they execute under pressure. So why do most people treat their money the exact opposite way?
In this keynote, Hillary Seiler draws on years of working with professional athletes, corporate teams, and everyday earners to deliver a financial behavior framework that actually sticks. Not a lecture. Not a list of things your audience already knows they should be doing. A real playbook, built around the psychology of performance, that gives people the tools to start winning with money the same way elite athletes win on the field.
For organizations, the result is measurable: stronger focus, better financial decisions, and a workforce that shows up without the weight of money stress slowing them down.
Bridge line into the graphic:
It all runs on her Train Your Money Performance Model, the same framework she uses with NFL and NBA organizations.
What Your Audience Walks Away With:
How to identify where financial stress is quietly hurting performance, focus, and decision-making
A performance-based system for making everyday money decisions, not just the big ones, with more confidence
Strategies to build disciplined money habits that reduce distraction and support long-term goals
How to replace short-term, reactive money moves with a plan that holds up under pressure
Additional Keynotes
Each keynote is grounded in the Train Your Money Performance Framework and can be customized to address the financial challenges facing your audience. All sessions are available in 60 or 90 minute formats.

THE $183 BILLION PROBLEM
59% of employees say financial stress is hurting their productivity right now. They are distracted. They are stressed. They are solving a money problem in their heads while they are supposed to be solving yours. And it shows up at every income level. Your highest earners can feel just as uncertain about money as your newest hires. Organizations feel the symptoms, the lost focus, the disengagement, the turnover, without ever seeing the cause. Here's the part most programs get wrong. They respond by handing employees more information. Another portal. Another packet. Another webinar. But information was never the problem. Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different games. I believe your people can do better with the right support. Not another lecture, but a practical system they can run in real life. That's exactly what Hillary brings to the stage.

THE WEALTH WINDOW
Every professional athlete has a compressed earning window. Most miss it. Not because they weren't smart or didn't work hard, but because nobody gave them a framework that fit their reality. The financial playbook written for a 40-year career doesn't work for a 7-year one. Hillary Seiler has spent years working directly with professional athletes and the organizations that support them. This talk delivers a clear, no-nonsense framework for protecting and building wealth during the playing years, when the money is coming in and the decisions matter most. Active athletes leave this session with a practical game plan, the right questions to ask their financial team, and a sharper understanding of what the wealth window is, how long it actually stays open, and what it takes to use it well.
BOOK NOW
THE INCOME IDENTITY TRAP
Here's the uncomfortable truth: high income does not equal financial health. In fact, the behaviors that drive career success, spending to signal status, saying yes to everything, outpacing peers, can quietly destroy wealth faster than a low salary ever could. This is the talk that makes successful people shift in their seats. Not because they're being judged, but because for the first time, someone is naming exactly what's happening and showing them a way out. Hillary Seiler walks high earners through the five behavior shifts that separate people who make a lot of money from people who actually keep it. Real, direct, and built around the psychology of high performance. If your audience has worked hard to get where they are, this talk helps them make sure the money reflects that.

The First Finance Book That Made Me Feel Inspired Instead of Overwhelmed
I absolutely loved this book. I don’t come from a strong financial background, and “Train Your Money” was the first finance book that actually felt easy to understand. Hilary breaks everything down in such a digestible, grounded way, and the real-life stories she shares make the concepts click instantly.
One of my favorite things about Hilary’s approach is that she’s not trying to get you to adopt her lifestyle or follow some rigid system. It’s very “meet you where you’re at,” bite-sized, and so doable. The way she lays out saving, budgeting, and even the basics of investing is clear, direct, and actually feels achievable.
As a business owner, the section on building a financial team blew my mind—I had no idea some of these roles even existed, and I’ve been running a business for almost a decade. It genuinely re-motivated me to take ownership of my money and my future.
The book is quick, emotional in the best way, super organized, and one I know I’ll go back to again and again. If you’re starting a business, coming into money, or just wanting a solid, compassionate introduction to personal finance, I highly recommend this read.
An useful guide
Train Your Money is a motivational guide that feels like having a financially savvy coach in your corner. Hillary Seiler’s style is refreshing (part tough love, part best-friend advice) and it works. Readers who feel overwhelmed by budgeting or investing will appreciate how she breaks things down into manageable, real-life steps. It’s about mindset and daily discipline, which she teaches using the same system she’s used with pro athletes.
The tone is upbeat, direct, and empowering, perfect for people tired of financial jargon and gimmicks. Whether you’re starting your first job or leading a team, this book helps you build financial confidence from the ground up. Highly recommended for anyone serious about turning knowledge into action and gaining control of their money.
A Great Money Playbook For Sure
This is a terrific book on personal finance.
Concise, clear and very well written, “Train Your Money” is the perfect read for someone new to money management and applicable even for those more experiences for some new perspectives and reinforcing the tried and true too.
The author advises a number of professional athletes and teams and I enjoyed how she would weave sports analogies into her examples. As with being successful in sports, to train your money right, discipline is key.
I particularly appreciated how she framed and asked personal point of view questions then laid out clear examples of how to approach the pitfalls that everyone faces with the many aspects of finances. On that note, I am gifting a copy to my young adult children as there’s great advice here and it will reinforce some of “dad’s” own suggestions that I’ve provided over the years. It also explains things, like how credit scores work, fraud prevention and the subject that baffles me the most, tax strategies for beginners, much better than I ever could too.
The book also offers a number of worksheets and links to dive deeper or download additional information and tools or “playbooks” as well.
Finally, the standout section for me personally was the excellent chapter on family money discussions. With aging parents, among other things going on in my life, I found the structure and advice to approaching both routine and sensitive matters around family and money conversations extremely helpful.
There’s a lot of books on personal finance available. If you’re looking for a solid, concise, clear and enjoyable read, I highly recommend this one.
