How to Give a Financial Presentation Conclusion

Thanks for joining me for this course on how to give financial presentations.

If you’ve done the homework and actually recorded yourself and watched and critiqued yourself you should have learned a lot and be great now and be very happy with your skills as a presenter.

If you just sat back and watch the video as well it’s giving you some food for thought but nothing is going to substitute you actually standing giving your financial presentation recording it on video or having someone else record it watch it critique it and try to get it better and better and better.

Please keep in mind if you’re not yet the CEO if you’re the CFO an entrepreneur Head of Investor Relations.

The biggest difference between people who end their careers at your level versus those who make it to the CEO position it’s not necessarily no skill.

It’s not necessarily education.

It’s the ability to communicate.

Quite often the CEOs who started off as CFO or previously were CFO those or heads of Investor Relations advanced because their communication skills were so strong that their board of directors said we can see this person standing up and speaking to all the investors all the media all of our investors because this person can communicate.

And unfortunately other CFO those investor relations people they’re putting into this corner up well they can talk the numbers and give the finance stuff but that they’re not really good at communicating with larger audiences.

Don’t let that happen to your career no matter what you decide you might not ever want to be a CEO.

But no matter what you want to do in your life the ability to speak effectively will help you reach those goals.

Good luck with your financial presentations and all your presentations in life.
