Many financial professionals do not communicate effectively. They overwhelm their audiences with complex content, leaving them confused. The ability to connect with an audience is vital to the success of both the practitioner and the organization. It requires an appropriate blend of humor and professional delivery with cognitive scientific techniques and data-rich content. In this program, audiences will learn techniques for live and virtual presentations from an FP&A practitioner, Second City- and Improv Olympic-trained performer, and award-winning speaker.
