Management Skills Workshop: Public Speaking

Whether it’s speaking up in a large meeting or standing on stage in front of an audience: your impact depends not just on the words you choose, but on a whole set of other factors. This workshop raises your self-awareness and helps you become more convincing, and more comfortable, when speaking in public.

Optimizing Investment Committees

Investment Committees are key decision-making bodies within investment management firms, banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, and other institutional investors. They play a central role in the allocation, management, and oversight of capital. The decisions taken by Investment Committees directly influence portfolio allocation, security selection, risk exposure, and ultimately the investment performance delivered to clients and beneficiaries. Given their strategic importance, the quality of governance, information flow, and deliberation processes within these committees is critical. During this session, Marc Fohr, CFA, will explore common pitfalls in committee composition and dynamics, including governance challenges, cognitive biases, and information asymmetries. The presentation will also propose practical remedies to strengthen analytical frameworks and improve the quality of information assessment.  Additionnally, participants will be introduced to a practical toolbox designed to enhance structure, clarity, and effectiveness in collective investment decision-making. This session aims to provide practical guidelines and actionable insights to enhance the functioning of Investment Committees, with the objective of fostering more robust, disciplined, and successful investment decisions. The presentation will be followed by a networkig cocktail.

Management Skills Workshop: Personality Types

We are all aware that different people have different preferences, different habits, and different ways of working and communicating. But that insight itself does not make working together across all those differences any easier. So if you don’t want to wait for everybody to see the light and become more like you, this workshop can help you understand and deal with different personality traits. That way you can literally “work well with (almost) anyone”.

Management Skills Workshop: Executive Presence

Executive presence may be a bit of a mysterious competence, but it is definitely not a physical trait like height or the color of your eyes. It is a fascinating set of attitudes, concepts, and behaviors. It can be studied, practiced, learned and taught - and it’s worth making a deliberate effort to get to the next level. If you are playing a role in your organization, playing it well is worth some extra effort.
