    LEARNING PLAN

    Boost talk & corp finance

    This learning plan combines two critical executive skillsets: commanding communication and sophisticated financial acumen. It's designed for ambitious professionals, managers, and aspiring leaders who need to present financial strategies persuasively, influence C-suite decisions, or lead major business initiatives. The dual focus addresses a common career gap—technical finance expertise without communication impact, or strong presentation skills without financial credibility.
