Sandy was a featured expert for a financial well-being campaign our employee well-being team coordinated during Financial Literacy Month, and her content was a great success.  Sandy is easy to work with – professional, knowledgeable, & organized – and she delivered on what she promised brilliantly and ahead of schedule.

I had the opportunity to watch Sandy share her TEDx Talk “Becoming Financially Independent” during the 2021/22 TEDxRyersonU Conference. Tackling such an important topic, Sandy made taking charge of one’s own finances an interesting and insightful discussion. Personal finances have been a topic that felt so daunting to me, however, Sandy has made it something that I believe I can manage! Her amazing advice and earnestness have inspired me to take charge and start my own journey in becoming financially independent.

Sandy was the utmost professional to deal with as a speaker.  She was always prompt with her communication and made coordinating her talk very easy.  Sandy's interview at this year's summit was highly relevant to Canadian women and their finances. She shared many actionable steps the audience could take to feel more in control of their money.  It is no surprise that Sandy’s session proved to be one of the most popular at the summit. I would not hesitate to work with Sandy again in the future.

I cannot rave enough about Sandy’s presentation to my corporate office. Her expertise & knowledge of the financial market is unparalleled and she took the time to tailor a presentation to the demographics of my team. She has a very direct approach, but she makes the content very digestible & interactive. Because of her, my team walked away with a wealth of knowledge and some solid action items to capitalize on their year! We will be having her back for more discussions on specific topics, she is a fabulous speaker & resource to any team looking to achieve their personal financial goals!

Sandy gave an incredible talk at our event which aimed to help youth from underserved communities transition successfully into independent adulthood. She made the daunting topic of personal finance accessible and interesting, which speaks to her skills as an orator! Her talk featured actionable steps that youth can take to start managing their money. Most importantly, she was transparent and candid about the pitfalls that can arise during this process and shared some of her own mistakes as a youth. Sandy mentions the importance of “giving back” on her website and she certainly exemplifies this value. We were beyond touched to be gifted with copies of her book “The Money Master” for our attendees. Her generosity will help many youths continue to learn and grow their personal finance skills. We could not have had a better experience working with Sandy and highly recommend her as a speaker.

It was such an amazing opportunity to host Sandy at the BIPOC: Reaching Success in Canada webinar event. She was very professional and gave very good answers to the questions asked as well as advice which I felt resonated with everyone at the webinar event. She also provided very valuable resources which were very helpful. Thank you, Sandy, for doing an amazing job at the event and for giving us the tips we need to reach success in Canada as members of the BIPOC community.

From our first contact, Sandy was extremely easy to work with. Our team was impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm. She would promptly return our emails to answer any questions or requests we had. When she joined our event, she interacted with attendees and gave great responses to all their questions. Her responses were relatable, heartfelt and moving! Her connection with the attendees was remarkable and uplifting. She had a wonderful way of balancing the seriousness of navigating success as a member of the BIPOC community and joy we need to incorporate into our pursuit of success.

Sandy was a true professional as a speaker, with prompt communication and designing a talk that would best suit our needs. I hired Sandy to give a lecture at a retirement residence where she taught our residents all about Warren Buffet, his investment profile, and his principles of investing. It was both entertaining and informative for our residents who love to learn. Sandy took the time to explain complicated investing information and made it easy for all to understand and gain something from her talk. Sandy was a pleasure to work with, a talented speaker and a gracious teacher.

I had the pleasure of hosting Sandy at our seminar to talk more about investing in today’s uncertainty in the market due to the recent market drop. She brought a breadth of knowledge and professionalism to her presentation which allowed people with little to no experience and even more seasoned investors to learn and re-learn some fundamentals. Her experience and enthusiasm about investing brought out amazing engagement and interaction to our audience. She also presented information that allowed for quick easy actionable steps to turn any beginner to really build a strong portfolio that will last. I had also read her book, The Money Master, and recommending it to anyone who looks to build long-term financial wealth through multiple sources of income! My team looks forward to working with Sandy again in the near future!

​Sandy did an outstanding job simplifying the complicated and often nerve-racking subject of personal finance for our youth audience, in an engaging, personalized way. They left our event with confidence in their abilities to apply the practical concepts and advice that Sandy covered regarding budgeting, in their everyday lives—with a desire to broaden their scope of knowledge even further. All in all, I would recommend Sandy Yong to anyone seeking a speaker who can discuss personal finance thoroughly, clearly, and eloquently, whilst providing actionable, step-by-step tips on how to properly handle money.

The Money Master is for anybody who would like to gain more insight into how to set themselves up for financial success. I picked this book specifically because I really wanted to learn how to create wealth, especially in Canada. Sandy gives you tangible information and targets every question you probably had about investing. After reading The Money Master I decided to book a one-on-one with Sandy and she was amazing. She gave me very insightful information and helped set my path for financial success. I highly recommend reading The Money Master, booking Sandy to help guide you and tune into her webinars. We’re not taught about how to manage our money in school but it’s never too late to learn how to now.

The resources on how to start investing were extremely helpful as this is something I find daunting and haven’t spent much time looking into deeper into it. This helped me see it can be really simple!

It’s easy to put money in a bank but when she said the words, “make money work for you” it really put a few things in perspective. We have a chequing account for bills, but that’s as far as I learned from growing up. People aren’t talking about money as much as they should be. Before you can take advantage of something we have to know what it is. Nobody has introduced investing to me before, but now that I know what is it seems exciting.”

Setting goals and writing them down and not just saying things verbally makes the idea of purchasing things much more achievable. By using Sandy’s chart, it makes these larger purchases I want to make more manageable.
