The FD Ready Course
Our courses can be specifically tailored to your needs. We develop a course programme with you that fits with your learning requirements and outcomes, your time availability and of course your budget. We can deliver our training in a traditional classroom, a virtual classroom or a hybrid of both. All have their benefits, the choice is yours.
Our programme is divided into 3 modules:
1. The Leader
Leadership mindset and driving team performance through vision, values and self-awareness.
We start by looking at the mindset of a self-aware leader: How do you lead yourself? How do you lead others?
We then move on to look at how you inspire teams with clear vision and values: How do you create a high performing team? How do you role model the behaviour that creates ownership and action that demonstrates your value to the business?
2. The Partner
Commercial acumen, strategic focus and business partnering. We look at what it means to be commercial, how strategic focus adds long term value and how effective business partnering makes you the ‘go to’ person in your business.
You will learn influence and communication techniques that show you how to create clarity from confusion, turn conflict into collaboration and see obstacles as opportunities.
3. The Performer
Bring everything together in an immersive business simulation that takes you out of your comfort zone and into your growth zone. Because there’s nothing quite like doing it for real.
We design business scenarios inspired by real events that any FD will have to handle if they want to succeed. We bring everything we learn together with trained actors and business coaches and you into high pressure situations: How can you draw on what you have learned to navigate, negotiate and lead when the pressure is really on?
Please contact us and we will create a course programme tailored to your needs.
