In today’s data-rich world, successful financial advisors and investors do more than analyse numbers.They source, analyze, and visualize data to extract and communicate insights to their clients in ways that motivate, inspire and advise them to make decisions that help them grow their wealth. This introductory course will provide you the skills needed to transform the results of your financial analysis into clear, actionable, and memorable stories that will enhance your advisory services, client engagement, and investment decision-making. Stories and storytelling enable us to effectively communicate key insights to our clients and colleagues with clarity and resonance. Sometimes, a story emerges from existing insights that need to be communicated to inspire action. Other times, data must be gathered, analysed and then presented to support a desired narrative. Complement your financial analysis with effective storytelling to inspire your clients to grow richer and be more successful.
