Change the Outcome.\nFeaturing Linda Hunt\, Founder of SumSolutions\nMoney conversations feel hard because they trigger old conditioning\, fear of rejection\, and people-pleasing tendencies. Many entrepreneurs brace in their bodies\, lower their prices\, or over-deliver to avoid discomfort—sacrificing clarity and profit in the process.

By learning to meet money conversations with clarity instead of collapse\, you reclaim authority\, boundaries\, and self-trust. \nIn this powerful talk\, Linda Hunt — systems strategist and author of The Money Conversation — guides you to reframe pricing as power\, boundaries as leadership\, and getting paid as a non-negotiable system. \nIn this presentation we will discuss: \n\nPricing is power\nGetting paid as a system\, not a suggestion\nHow to stop scope creep without losing the client\nRaising your prices without asking permission\nCreating a confident money conversation practice\n\nIf you’re tired of people-pleasing\, undercharging\, and tiptoeing around your rates… this conversation will change everything. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinda Hunt is the founder of SumSolutions and the author of the forthcoming book The Money Conversation: Speak the Truth.
