Impression management is exactly what you think it is – tactics and strategies deployed to manage the impression you have of someone or something. What’s important to know is that loss aversion and the understanding of how that impacts human behaviour is a large part of those impression management tactics. 

For episode 5 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast, we’re calling on someone from outside of the finance and investing community to help us understand this topic. Our guest is Candice Burgess-Look – a PR specialist who knows exactly how to create a positive impression for her clients.

Did you know that it’s possible to use loss aversion to your benefit? This is where impression management comes in, and this is what we’re covering in episode 5 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast.

We’re still looking at loss aversion in episode 4 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast – that’s right, it’s a big topic! Today, we’re breaking down the disposition effect, which is all about how loss aversion manifests itself in the world of investing. 

Our guest is Professor Terry Odean from the Haas School of Business at the University of California in Berkeley. He is a prolific author and researcher on the topic of behavioural finance and one of the inspirations for my own academic career.

It’s time to look at how loss aversion manifests itself in our investing decisions – introducing the disposition effect. 

Episode 4 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast is coming soon! 

In episode 3 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast, we’re looking at uncertainty and how it differs from risk. This discussion is all about known and unknown probabilities. We also unpack two biases – The Gambler’s Fallacy and The Hot-Hand Effect. 

We thought that the best way to really get to grips with these biases was to chat to someone who knows a lot about trading. Our guest is Garth Mackenzie, a prolific trader with plenty of exciting stories to tell about his years working on the markets.

Did you know that there’s a difference between risk and uncertainty? It can totally change the way you look at making financial decisions. 

In episode 3 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast, we dive even deeper into our discussion on risk and loss aversion. 

Loss aversion is a big bias. It can impact us in so many ways – causing us to make strange decisions about money. This bias can actually cause you to become risk seeking when you’re faced with a possible loss and then risk averse when you have a gain on your hands. Yes, that’s quite complex behaviour… so we break it down for you carefully. 

Our guest for episode 2 is Dr Greg Davies. He heads up the behavioural finance division of Oxford Risk in the UK and knows a lot about loss aversion. We also chat to him about risk tolerance (our topic from episode 1) because it would be wrong not to!

And just like that, we’ve hit the ground running with season 2! The second episode of the Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast is coming soon. 

We’re continuing our discussion from episode 1 with an in-depth look at loss aversion and how that can impact our trading decisions. 

To kick off season 2 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast, we’re talking about a big topic – risk. Risk aversion and risk tolerance are two big concepts that you need to wrap your head around if you want to understand one of the strongest pulls on how and why you make specific decisions about your money. 

To help us unpack risk tolerance, we have high performance coach, trainer and trading consultant Steve Ward as our first guest. Steve has written many books on the subject of risk, as well as running his own business that helps people to be better traders – Performance Edge Consulting. 

This season, we’re actually doing a miniseries on risk and loss aversion, and this is the start of the discussion. We’ve got a lot to go through, and it’s going to be fascinating!
