The Duality Dilemma for CFOs
CFOs must deal with dualities on a daily basis.
These include dualities that exist between:
- performance and culture
- past and future performance
- external expectations and internal realities
These dualities cause much of the tension that CFOs need to manage when leading the delivery of their organiation's strategies.
Join Alena in this session where she will provide a snapshot of these dualities and strategies to help CFOs lead with more calm so they can provide certainty to their CEOs and safety to their people.

How CFOs Influence at Scale
"Influence happens at one person at a time."
Every time Alena makes this statement this during a workshop or keynote, she is immediately asked 'How, then, do I influence if I have a big team or need to influence a large group of stakeholders?'.
If you also have this question, then join Alena for this CFO session where she will share with you how CFOs most effectively influence at scale.
Date: Monday, 20th May

Stillness for CFOs
We know CFOs must steady the ship in troubled waters.
The question is, how does a CFO do this when their own minds are filled with ideas, uncertainties, opportunities and challenges?
Attaining stillness in an environment characterised by urgency, speed and freneticism is an imperative for CFOs.
Join Alena in this CFO Snapshot where she will share her perspective on why and how CFOs buck the trend of busy-ness in business today.

Deep thinking for CFOs

Selling for CFOs
"CFOs need to be the second best salesperson in their organisation"
Alena shared this statement in her most recent CFO Annual Report. Yet, most CFOs will tell you they aren't great sales people. Many will still profess their dislike of public speaking.
In an economic environment where there's a higher bar to access capital, CFOs must have sales capability.
To hear what CFOs need to do to become the second best salesperson in their organisation, join Alena in this CFO session.

Accountability over Leverage
In the 4 Quadrants of CFO Leadership documented in CFO of the Future, the team leadership quadrant is all about leverage.
Leverage is often thought of as a vehicle to do more with less.
