TalkFinancials was established by Ted Wainman. Ted trained and qualified as an
Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) with Ernst & Young before joining JPMorgan
on the Investment Management side of the business. Whilst at JPMorgan, he
undertook a company sponsored MBA in the International Management of Financial
Services, from which he graduated at the top of his class with merit. Since 2003
Ted has been designing, developing and delivering programmes for private sector
companies (including blue chips and financial services) across a range of
business needs. Whether focussed on programmes to build awareness and detailed
understanding around financial drivers of their business, addressing new
operational initiatives or supporting business change, Ted is experienced in
working with key stakeholders within the business to construct a training
program that delivers sustained change. At TalkFinancials our aim is to help
individuals in corporate organisations develop their financial and business
skills - to become more ‘commercially savy’. While accounting - the process of
identifying, measuring and communicating financial information - is left to the
accountants, managers must be comfortable with being able to read and interpret
that financial information. Here at TalkFinancials our consultants help
delegates learn the 'language of commercial finance' and to become more
comfortable when communicating financial concepts, to use financial data when
presenting operational plans and to be able to understand the financial
implications of their day to day decisions. Strong business skills go beyond a
developed financial and commercial understanding. We help develop strategic
thinking skills together with the necessary leadership skills to deliver on that
strategy. Communication lies at the heart of good leadership and good
communication leads to greater persuasiveness, influence and a stronger
negotiated outcome.
