Business Finance Foundations. For Women in Non-financial roles
Become fluent in business finance so you can grow into your dream role, have more opportunities, be a strategic partner and decision-maker.
If finance feels a bit intimidating, yet you want to conquer it because you know you need to know it to advance and grow, you're in the right place.
Carol Dweck developed a wonderful concept - Growth Mindset. With the growth mindset you can learn anything with the right tools, the right methods, and your own efforts.
To master finance, you need 3 things:
1. Up your inner game: your desire to learn, clear inner obstacles, fears, and self-doubts.
2. Learn with a teaching method that makes it easy.
3. Practice in a supportive environment.
This program is designed with all three keys.
In this program you'll:
- Elevate your confidence in learning, understanding, and using business financials.
- Clear self-doubt about learning and mastering business finance.
- Discover and practice three fundamentals besides finance that you need to understand in order to speak the language of business finance: an organization's business model, supply chain, and value creation.
- Learn financial statements and financial metrics so you can be a strategic business partner to help your company succeed.
- Discover key business drivers for growth and profitability so you can assess what needs to improve and suggest solutions and ideas backed with financial impact.
- Learn and practice to speak, interpret and present financials with confidence
- Learn and practice to present your ideas with clarity, poise, and financial rationale
- Practice applying financial knowledge to specific projects and areas tailored to your role and interests. For example: budgeting, variance analysis, ROI of a project.
Program Approach to Make it Easy and Empower You to Succeed:
- Learn with simple steps, one step at a time, building your confidence, with Anna's proven easy-to-follow and fun game-based methodology.
- Understand financial statements and key financial metrics, budgeting and variance analysis.
