Learn the unique storytelling methodology that will prove the value of your work to the executives and increase your visibility. This is the method I created and that made me and other students go from a misunderstood analyst to a respected finance leader. *****ImportantCohort 1 (Oct 7-16 2024): EnglishCohort 2 (Oct 22-Nov 13 2024): FrenchCohort 3 (Nov 20-27 2024): Spanish****** For you, presentations mean- Stress and nerves before and during the presentation- Misunderstanding between you and the audience- Building slides, losing time and eventually show only a small part of them It's tough but successful CFOs can do it without problem! So why couldn't you learn how they1. Extract and communicate a message2. Target and adapt to their audiences3. Build a narrative, different from a report4. Use slides that are easily digestible5. Deliver their presentation confidently What's in it for you? In addition to please your CFO, here's what you get from giving convincing and engaging presentations- Show confidence and become the go-to resource: You'll be the partner the business wants/needs and you'll get to work on interesting projects- Become visible: Even if your work is great, if nobody sees and understands it, it's considered worthless- Career opportunities: The world rewards people best at communicating ideas, not the ones with the best ideas And that's how financial storytelling can help you! By joining Storytelling for Finance Leaders, you'll get to prepare and deliver presentations that will solve all issues mentioned above! How are you going to learn? There is no mystery here: to acquire presentation skills, you must practice. That's why I created a live, cohort-based program that gives you the opportunity to practice, get feedback, and apply financial storytelling skills in real time This includes- breakout sessions- ideation and exchanges- realistic use cases- games This isn't just another course – it's an immersive experience designed to help you elevate your communication game, fast. Over the course of 3 interactive sessions, you'll work alongside other professionals, get personalized coaching, and leave with skills that make an immediate impact And in addition to that, you can follow the course in 3 different languages- English (Cohort 1): Oct 7 -&gt; Oct 15- French (Cohort 2): Oct 22 -&gt; Nov 12- Spanish (Cohort 3): Nov 20 -&gt; Nov 26 The language barrier won't prevent you from getting to present confidently. You should NOT take this course if:- you're not ready to attend the 3 sessions (there is a logical sequence)- you're not ready to practice live with you fellow students (maybe the self-paced version is better for you)- you want to learn about financial modelling (don't laugh, I already got these requests)

Extract the key messages from your P&L with FP&A techniques

You can't approach a presentation with a CFO the same way you'd present the results to a CEO or a Sales Manager.By analysing who your audience is, you'll be able to structure your narrative in a way that convinces them to listen until the end...... and do something about it
