There may be creatures more beautiful than adult swans, but few glide more gracefully on the water. In addition to their statuesque elegance, they are known to mate for life and are very protective of their young, which are called cygnets. The swan’s main objective is to educate their cygnets with the skills needed to survive and become adult swans.

Just as the Cygnet Institute logo shows the baby cygnet becoming a swan, our financial education services focus on helping workshop participants learn financial skills to manage their financial life and make decisions to achieve their goals.

Objectivity requires intellectual honesty and impartiality in the content of Cygnet workshops.
Competence is expected from Cygnet instructors who are chosen for their expertise in the content of the workshop they facilitate.
Confidentiality means that participant information is accessible only to those authorized by Cygnet.
Diligence is reflected in Cygnet’s belief that expectations of workshop participants must be fulfilled in a reasonably prompt and thorough manner.

I am more appreciative of my job and the benefits it provides, including the opportunity to attend this class.
I feel that with a small amount of discipline I can be financially secure for life. It’s a good feeling!
I feel more confident that I have control over my finances, that I can ride out and adjust to factors that are not in my control.
I feel better about my 401(k) plan. I wish I had been offered this course when I started my career.
So detailed and many faceted! The connectivity factor is critical, everything must work together.
I had never taken the time to understand what I was doing with my money, now I realize the importance of putting a plan together for my retirement.
The methodology is logical and just like the approach an engineer uses when a system is designed. Financial planning is not just stocks and bonds. Cygnet is a quality organization as demonstrated by their understanding of GM’s plans and the comprehensive nature of their models.
It is clear now that financial planning is required for financial security and for peace of mind. We had plans before but not this detailed.
I’m amazed that my current level of income plus modest raises will give me my financial freedom. I must have a pretty good job.
I believe I can now perform my job with less stress by realizing that I am on solid ground financially.
