Workshop: Future of Finance: Are You Ready?

This workshop will serve as the starting point for a deep-dive discussion on where the finance industry is headed and how individuals and teams can strategically position themselves for success. With 60% of current jobs in finance projected to no longer exist in 10 years—and only 10% of those affected aware of this shift—this workshop is both a wake-up call and a roadmap for action.

Participants will explore the future state of finance, identify the skills they’ll need to thrive in new roles, and create actionable plans to future-proof their careers and departments.

This workshop isn’t just about understanding change—it’s about equipping participants with the tools to lead it. Join us to ensure you and your team are ready to shape the future of finance.

Course Testimonials

This was an amazing workshop! This is one of the better ones I've attended period, and probably the best virtual webinar. I appreciated the opportunity to practice with other participants. The moderator Oli was very friendly and great at educating us on the various topics. In particular, I found in today's session the part about accountability very helpful, especially with the guiding questions. This is a really great program and would recommend to others.

Really appreciated the Workshop format and testing of the techniques. This specific course had really strong real world application.

Excellent course, extremely uncomfortable at times, but eye opening. And working on real life problems has given me some actions plans as well as skills.

I have found the course practical, not heavily focussed on the theory. We were put into various exercises and able to put theory to use. The coach was engaging and participants were all actively engaged in the process. Highly recommend.

I found the course really beneficial and it reminded me of what it truly means to be a coach and how to be a much better one. It also reminded me about the absolute essence of accountability and how I need to be intentional about it. Great question asking tips too.
