Description Given its role and importance to any functioning modern economy, 'trust' is an essential ingredient between providers of financial services, its clients and even wider society. Culture, conduct and ethics are words which have come to pepper the regulatory lexicon. The importance of these intangible concepts and 'getting it right' has been clearly communicated, and myriad speeches and initiatives in the financial services sector focus on these themes. This programme does not purport to dictate how firms should define their values or operate their businesses. However, lawmakers, regulators and society have defined certain minimum expectations and standards of behaviour from the perspective of customer and business outcomes. These are sometimes framed or described (whether explicitly or implicitly) as issues of trust, integrity or honesty; concepts which have a distinct ethical underpin. Firms and individuals operating in the sector must be conscious and mindful of these standards and expectations and consider both whether they are satisfying the letter and spirit of the rules and/or guidance and whether the values and principles which they have set for themselves are effective in directing and delivering the firm's desired outcomes.

Description A key component to the development of financial markets is to agree standards of behaviour and provide mechanisms for dispute resolution. These standards, rules and codes of conduct may be established through self-regulation of the industry, or by means of a statutory approach where governments provide enabling legislation and establish statutory-based regulatory authorities. Integrity and ethical behaviour are key parts of any code of conduct and have, as a result of the financial crisis, experienced renewed focus from professional bodies, governments and regulators. As financial markets have become increasingly global in nature and interdependence has grown, the financial sector has moved from self-regulation to a statutory approach. This has facilitated international cooperation and the development of improved and common standards. The objectives and benefits of regulation is summarised as follows: • increase in confidence and trust in financial markets, systems and products • establish an environment to encourage economic development and wealth creation • reduce the risk of market and system failures including their economic consequences • enhance consumer protection, giving them the reassurance they need to save and invest, and • reduce financial crime by ensuring financial systems cannot easily be exploited. By attending this course participants will be able to understand the objectives and benefits of regulation and the various agencies that make up the current international and national regulatory environment.

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.
