What a Reading-Led Programme Offers That a Standard Course Does Not

The Facilitator's Role

Yondrix facilitators are trained to guide reading discussion — not to teach in the traditional sense, and not to offer advice. Their role is to keep the conversation open, to draw connections between what has been read, and to make space for the questions that participants bring from their own lives. This is a different skill set from financial advisory, and we recruit and prepare accordingly.

Programme Structure

Whether a two-day weekend workshop or a nine-month monthly circle, each programme follows a structured workbook that moves participants through a logical sequence of topics. There is assigned pre-reading before each session, a facilitated discussion during the session, and reflection prompts to work through independently afterward. The structure is designed to support absorption rather than acceleration.

Building Vocabulary

One of the most common observations from past participants is that they had always felt uncertain about financial conversations — not because they lacked intelligence, but because they lacked the specific vocabulary that would allow them to ask the right questions. Yondrix programmes address this directly: reading lists and workbooks are designed to build fluency in the language of personal finance, which then makes other conversations — with partners, adult children, or professional advisers — considerably easier to navigate.

Considered Pricing

Weekend workshops are priced at S$140 to S$370. The nine-month Reading Circle is S$700 for the full programme — approximately S$78 per session, including printed materials and the private cohort newsletter. We price to cover costs and maintain quality, not to maximise margin. Places are not discounted, but returning participants are invited to future cohorts at a revised rate.
