FINANCE and LEADERSHIP training
DEVELOPING ASTUTE SENIOR LEADERS
Welcome to Astutely, where we help leaders become financially, emotionally and strategically astute.
As a leader you need need to understand your organisation's financial reports to make the best decisions and take the most targeted actions.
You also need to inspire and engage your people to fulfil your vision and to 5 x those results.
It’s this winning (and let’s face it, rare!!) combination of commercial and people skills that will skyrocket your success.
We only offer workshops on leadership and finance. That’s it. We specialise in those key areas that will move the needle fastest for you. You can take our courses in person, online or in-house; your choice.
Get in touch to get started on your journey to better results, stronger teams, and more fun at work!
“As COO of a global organisation I was concerned that the level would be either too ethereal and complex or too basic. Sarah pitched the course at exactly the right level. Comprehensive and detailed, with the perfect blend of theory and practical learning, this is a must for those seeking to go beyond “just the numbers” and understand how they impact your effective business decision making and ultimately your bottom line (and all the lines in between!). Thanks for such clarity!”

“Genuinely buzzing from the excellent training I received yesterday - highly informative around the technical side of a balance sheet and what to look for. My absolute favourite was the jargon busting element! A big thank you to Sarah who delivered the session with warmth, engaged everyone and shared her vast knowledge on the world of finance.”

“I remain blown away by the course and your teaching and facilitation of the whole event. It is rare for a 2 day event to hold the energy of the entire group for the entire time, and you certainly achieved that!
Thank you. I realise it doesn’t happen without a whole load of time, effort and skills underpinning it.
Incidentally, you’ll be pleased to hear that I was able to put this in use at our College Governing Body meeting yesterday!
I’ve signed up for the case study on your Online Academy – you seem to have triggered an interest I didn’t realise I had!”
