What is going to be covered?

Introduction to financial markets and the future of finance

In the world of Finance, how many times have you heard of terms that you simply don’t understand or acronyms that don’t make sense? It then makes it more of a challenge to keep up with all the latest financial trends and movements in the markets. Having a basic understanding and awareness of finance will keep you in the know and increase your confidence when talking to potential clients. Being able to reference financial terms and understanding complex technical finance language will set you ahead of the rest and give you credibility in your conversations. 
 

Digital IQ: Understanding and demystifying cryptos and the blockchain

From Cryptocurrencies to self-driving cars, technology is pushing the boundaries of everyday life. The way we make payments, travel and manage our homes is being revolutionized by technological advances. Understanding how this technology works and the true value of these advancements is fundamental to your success. Whether you work with clients internally or externally, being confident around concepts like ‘The Blockchain’, will mark the difference between good and distinguished. 

Impactful Communication: how to get your message heard

Working within a HR or support function means you are likely a well established communicator. However, even then, it can be difficult when dealing with different personality styles. In this course we dive deeper into the science of communication. Looking at psycholinguistics and how to use our words in a more meaningful way to get our stakeholders on side. Whether speaking to an individual or a large audience, it is imperative that the speaker is equipped with the skills that propel audience members to take action 

Diversity, Inclusion & Empowerment

There’s no denying the evidence that multiculturalism and diversity contribute to a successful and creative work dynamic. However, each of us carry a set of biases that influence our decisionmaking. Creating awareness of this and having these uncomfortable conversations around race, gender, sexuality and culture, brings the confidence to tackle and overcome them. We will explore our own belief systems and break through them, in order to build a community of empowered leaders who can overcome challenges together in the finance industry.
