Our Flagship Programmes

Financial Storytelling

This workshop provides a 3-step roadmap to think strategically about communication when preparing for a business presentation. This module includes a lecture and Q&A session, as well as opportunities for participants to engage with live case studies and practice using the main tools and methodologies presented. Participants will receive memo cards summarizing key concepts.

Fundraising Roadshow

This programme provides practical techniques and skills for teams preparing for roadshows, whether they are launching a new investment fund, launching a product with key partners or communicating with the press. The ability of senior investment managers to deliver a great performance on roadshows is a major driver of success. But the skills that have made investment teams very good at their jobs are not necessarily persuasive systematic pitching.

Presenting With Impact

This programme starts with an essential question: ‘What do you want your audience to remember and repeat?’. Participants are trained in tested and proven delivery techniques, body intelligence, and storytelling concepts to convey their message effectively. This focused, intensive training experience leads to increased confidence level, better stress management and more impactful delivery.

The head of a global market business unit wanted to challenge how his team was thinking about communication. Accellency delivered a tailored Financial Storytelling training for these key individuals. It was designed to enhance their ability to distill intricate information into compelling narratives that resonate with diverse stakeholders – including clients, partners, and team members.

RESULTS

Accellency delivered an interactive programme, combining theory, case studies, and hands-on practice and emphasised developing storytelling techniques and refining presentation skills to create a lasting impact. The client fostered team building and challenged the status quo, showcasing the power of financial storytelling when it comes to effective communication. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many executives highlighting the relevance and applicability of the training to their work.

APPROACH

A leading healthcare investment fund client needed to prepare their team to present effectively at their Annual Investor Day. The client sought Accellency’s expertise to elevate their presentation skills and engage LPs with confidence. The training programme incorporated both individual and group training and focused on body intelligence, scripting, and financial storytelling. 

RESULTS

The increased confidence, refined communication techniques, and better understanding of audience engagement resulted in an impactful AGM. As a testament to their enduring partnership, Accellency will be collaborating with the client once again this year to ensure their team remains at the forefront of effective presentation and communication skills.
