„ACTUARIES ON STAGE… AND ON SCREEN!“
How to best connect with your audience.
THE PROBLEM
As actuary, you feel save in the universe of numbers and formulas! Less so in the universe of words and paragraphs… You speak your technical language. To communicate your findings, ideas, results, arguments to non-actuaries feels more like an art than a science… Especially when it should be clear, effective and understandable for the various recipients of your message. It‘s a struggle that makes it difficult to achieve your objectives with your work.
THE SOLUTION
You build a solid foundation for your communication skills through training. With this toolbox, you know how to tackle your communication challenges.
THE RESULTS
You are listened to. Your reports are being read. You convince the Board to increase the level of reserves (even if it‘s not a good news). Your internal model is approved by the regulator. You achieve your objectives. You are less stressed with words and paragraphs…
THE SOLUTION?
A COMMUNICATION TRAINING COURSE:
- With 12 hours of course split in 4 modules of 3 hours each as an interactive virtual training
- That covers broad subjects on communication:
- Communication patterns/models, types of behavior/learning
- Verbal, non-verbal and written communication skills
- Presentation (as if on „stage“ and on screen) skills
- Discussion & Negotiation
- That ensures that the theory is immediately applied through various interactive and practical exercises
- Specially tailored for actuaries and the situations that they encounter
- Held in small groups of 6 to 12 participants
YOUR WORK MATTERS!
You have problems to connect with some stakeholders? You believe that the material you provide them is really good… still it doesn’t translate in concrete results? Or you struggle with explaining a complex topic in a summarized version for those who don’t need to know all the details? Or when you sit in a meeting, you find it difficult to jump in to make a point? You missed too many opportunities to put constructive solutions to the table? Or every time you hold a presentation, your stress level gets so high that you forget the important items and can’t give a trustful and confident impression? Not to think about all these virtual meetings where you see people so small on your screen… that you don’t know if your message reaches out to them?
You’ve been thinking for a while about doing something to improve your communication skills. Maybe you participated to one of my introductory trainings. You know that it’s time to act for more impact with your work. Because your work matters!
THE SETTING
All sessions are live. As if we would be in the same room. In the same time zone. In the same situation. You can book your individual spot for some set dates/times (see below) or or we coordinate specific dates/times for your organisation. It can also be held in French, German or Swedish if that’s what your organisation needs!
You will immediately apply the theory through various short exercises (in small groups of 2 to 4 ) that relate directly to terms or situations that you encounter in your day-to-day work. Also, you’ll benefit from the vast experience that I, as trainer, will share with you. Be ready for some inspiration and a healthy portion of humor!
