From calculations to conversations: Insights from the Global Finance Summit
We Just Wrapped Up Our November Summit – Here’s What You Missed
Last month, finance professionals from around the world came together for the November Summit. Over two days, we explored the strategies, tools, and skills shaping the future of financial leadership.
If you couldn’t join us—or want a quick recap—here are some of the biggest takeaways and some great clips from the sessions:
Presenting with Confidence
Great CFOs know how to turn numbers into a narrative. Engaging presentations don’t just inform—they inspire action and alignment across stakeholders.
Ever wondered why presenting can make you so anxious? 🧠 Peter McKenzie breaks it down in this fascinating webinar clip. Your brain’s amygdala is hardwired to react when people look at you—dating back to our days on the savannah when being watched often meant danger. That’s why feeling anxious before a presentation is completely normal! But here’s the thing: while a little anxiety is expected, learning how to manage it and present confidently is a game-changer for your career. 📈
Influencing with Purpose Leadership isn’t about authority—it’s about influence. Effective CFOs inspire action through empathy, understanding, and strategic vision. Melanie Coeshott 💎 – Career Coach , a seasoned leadership coach and Course Facilitator at GrowCFO, reveals how emotional intelligence is a secret weapon of influence and begins with understanding yourself.
The Art of Negotiation Negotiation isn’t just about getting to “yes”—it’s about creating lasting value. Understanding interests, managing trade-offs, and fostering mutual gains are essential skills for aspiring CFOs.
Ever found yourself avoiding tough conversations? You’re not alone. Kevin Appleby and Paul McKoen unpack this all-too-common habit in this insightful webinar clip.
We naturally shy away from conflict, but delaying those tough discussions only kicks the can down the road—leaving issues unresolved and creating challenges in commercial relationships. 💼 Avoiding these critical talks might feel easier in the moment, but it could lead to bigger problems later.
