Look, I've sat through enough terrible budget presentations to know what doesn't work. And I've delivered enough successful ones to understand what does.
Most finance professionals know their numbers inside out. But when it comes to presenting those numbers to stakeholders who aren't financially trained? That's where things fall apart. You watch eyes glaze over. Questions come from left field. And decisions get postponed.
This isn't about teaching you finance. You already know that part. It's about translating complex financial information into presentations that stakeholders actually understand and act on.

How We Actually Teach This
Real Budget Scenarios
We work with actual budget situations, not made-up examples. You'll practice with the kinds of financial data and stakeholder dynamics you face in your day-to-day work.
Record and Review
You'll present multiple times. We'll record them. Then we'll watch them together and identify exactly where communication breaks down and how to fix it.
Stakeholder Psychology
Different audiences need different approaches. Board members think differently than department heads. We'll help you adapt your presentation style to who's in the room.
What You'll Actually Learn
Typical Program Timeline
Weeks 1-2: Foundation
We'll assess your current presentation approach and identify specific areas where communication breaks down. You'll deliver a baseline budget presentation that we'll use as our starting point.
Weeks 3-5: Structure and Content
You'll learn frameworks for organizing financial information logically. We'll work on building clear narratives around budget decisions and creating visual aids that clarify rather than confuse.
Weeks 6-8: Delivery Skills
This is where we work on how you present. Voice control, body language, handling interruptions, managing difficult personalities in the room. Lots of practice sessions with detailed feedback.
Weeks 9-10: Real-World Application
You'll prepare and deliver a complete budget presentation using actual data from your organization. We'll simulate realistic stakeholder dynamics and questions. This is your final demonstration of what you've learned.
What Past Participants Say
I'd been presenting budgets for years but always felt like I was losing the room halfway through. This program helped me understand that I was organizing information the way I understood it, not the way my audience needed to hear it. The restructuring techniques alone were worth it.
The video review sessions were uncomfortable but incredibly helpful. Watching myself present made it obvious why stakeholders were getting confused at certain points. Being able to practice the same presentation multiple times with targeted feedback changed how I approach these meetings completely.
Next Program Starts July 2026
Limited to 12 participants to ensure everyone gets individualized attention and feedback. Sessions run Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with optional weekend workshops for intensive practice.
