There are three business languages managers need to understand in order to make the best decisions. These languages are accounting, finance, and economics. Leaders use these languages to see how their company has performed in the past (accounting), plan how the company should move forward (finance), and predict how outside influences will affect their plan (economics). The benefits of having a working knowledge of these three languages include being able to understand and communicate with others in he organization about financial issues, making decisions that align with overall corporate goals and strengthening your value to the company.

• Make better business decisions based on accounting 

• Use historical financial performance data to plan for the future 

• Educate yourself to make better financial, accounting, and economic decisions

Being a successful virtual leader takes a lot more energy than a face-to-face leader. It is also important to keep each employee engaged in a “high-touch” environment. Leadership qualities such as communication, coaching, feedback, and professional development are important, yet it is how you deliver these qualities can be challenging. Virtual life has its pros and cons, hence it is important to have strong communication skills through effective virtual meetings that allow all employees to contribute. 

• Identify ways to create a high-touch environment

• Enlist the elements of a successful virtual environment

• Demonstrate leading change in a virtual environment

• Determine factors in creating successful virtual teams

Presenting to groups is a regular part of many leaders’ responsibilities. You may speak at industry gatherings, leadership retreats, conferences, or staff meetings. Regardless of whether you’re presenting to large or small groups, your goal should be to deliver your message in a way that is engaging and interactive. Studies say that you have less than one minute to engage your audience before they begin to lose interest. And once you’ve captured their attention, you must continue to purposefully interact with them throughout the presentation. This course will enable you to enhance your engagement techniques which can be the difference makers that determine how focused, connected, and engaged your audience will be throughout your presentation.

• Identify the steps involved in planning for a successful presentation

• Recognize the importance and methods of practice

• Demonstrate the practices essential to boost your confidence while delivering a presentation
