Communication – Having great quality conversations – asking great question, listening & selling not telling

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

Communication is a critical skill for increasing the impact of our work, whether in industry or practice. The ability to partner with our teams, business partners and clients will determine our effectiveness in our roles as finance professionals.

Event Information

In this session, attendees will understand what great communication looks like. We’ll discuss how the quality of our questions and how we listen can improve relationships and business impact.

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 business partnered and influenced executives on a $4.5BN P&L.
