Does your voice abandon you when you present? Do you find you become much less articulate and much less yourself when you are under the spotlight? Have you experienced brain freeze where you "umm" all the way through your presentation? Maybe you blush or your voice wavers. Presenting is a big source of pain for many of us. I've been there. For years, I hated presenting. I went all weird under the spot light and the best I could hope for was just to grit my teeth, force myself to do it and hope for the best. Mostly it was okay, pretty good, a couple of times it was downright traumatic! But sadly, because of my intense dislike of presenting I never felt that i did myself justice. What if I told you that I now relish the opportunity to express myself and my thinking? The bigger the audience, the better! I've done a complete 180 turnaround on giving presentations and I've been reflecting on why. In my next masterclass, I breakdown my 5 top insights that have transformed the way I think about giving presentations. And when you feel good about doing something, your performance improves dramatically.  Whether it's presenting to real people in a real room, or presenting in your living room to a ton of people with their cameras off, my top tips and tools will help you find your natural and confident voice so that you can do yourself justice and maybe even start to enjoy the opportunity.

Ethics Matters: Corporate Governance and CFOs,” the podcast where we dive deep into the critical intersection of corporate governance. Sustainability and ESG reporting have gained significant attention in recent years. How do CFOs incorporate these considerations into their financial strategies and decision-making? CFOs recognise that sustainable practices and ESG considerations are not only ethical imperatives but also critical for long-term business success. We incorporate these considerations into financial strategies by assessing the environmental and social impacts of our operations, supply chains, and investment decisions. By incorporating ESG factors into our financial analyses, we make more informed decisions that align with our company’s values and stakeholder expectations. Furthermore, CFOs play a pivotal role in ESG reporting. We collaborate with cross-functional teams to collect relevant data, establish reporting frameworks, and communicate the company’s sustainability initiatives to stakeholders. This transparency fosters trust and accountability while allowing investors, customers, and the broader community to evaluate our commitment to sustainable practices. Board engagement is essential for effective corporate governance. How can CFOs contribute to building a strong relationship between the CFO and the board of directors? Building a strong relationship with the board of directors begins with open and transparent communication. CFOs provide timely and accurate financial information, strategic insights, and risk assessments to the board. We actively participate in board meetings, present financial reports, and engage in discussions about financial performance, strategic initiatives, and potential risks. By demonstrating our financial expertise and ethical leadership, we contribute to a healthy and productive relationship with the board. It’s also crucial for CFOs to provide independent perspectives and challenge conventional thinking when necessary. By offering well-informed insights and raising critical questions, we contribute to robust board discussions and decision-making. This collaborative approach fosters an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, and ethical considerations are thoroughly examined. I would encourage fellow CFOs to prioritise ethics and corporate governance as integral components of their roles. Embed ethical considerations into decision-making processes, ensure robust governance structures, and actively engage with stakeholders. By doing so, we can drive sustainable, responsible, and successful organizations. https://www.fdcapital.co.uk/podcast/ethics-matters-corporate-governance-and-cfos/ Tags Online Events Things To Do Online Online Conferences Online Business Conferences #event #ethics #matters #cfos #corporategovernance
