Presenting with Confidence and Impact – getting your key messages across

A series of seminars for young members to help develop your career.

The ability to communicate and present effectively is becoming increasingly important in a world shifting its focus to value-add and away from process work. In both practice and industry, finance professionals at all stages of their career are required to present with confidence in order to generate influence and business impact.

Event Information

In this session, attendees will understand the key challenges of getting messages across to audiences. We’ll discuss the importance of knowing your audience, balancing competence and likeability, understanding and using presence, maintaining confidence and handling nerves and dealing with dealing with surprises. We’ll share some practical tips, and some important dos and don’t for engaging an audience. We’ll also briefly cover effective presenting over video calls – a critical skill for an increasingly remote first working environment.

This lunchtime session will be led by Oliver Deacon, an FCA who qualified at Deloitte and, until recently, was an FD at Microsoft, where he gained first-hand experience of presenting to and influencing executives up to C-suite level.
