Learning outcomes

Rapport is everything

Learn how to build sustainable relationships with anyone quickly, whether they’re in the room or online.

Lead with insight, not data

Businesses are overwhelmed with data and are suffering from decision paralysis. Learn how to extract the insight from your data, reducing the time spent on reports while increasing the impact and actionability.

Inject ‘life’ into your numbers

Lengthy reports are boring and disengaging. Learn how to present and communicate a crystal clear message with the confidence of a top Chief Marketing or Sales Executive; tell the story behind the numbers and hook the business to act.

Negotiate for win-wins

Too often, collaboration between finance and the business ends with the perception that someone has lost. Learn how to challenge and influence others elegantly and sell your ideas by considering the business context to produce effective outcomes.
