But like it or not, every decision you make has a number behind it, and ignoring those numbers is the fastest way to lose time, money, and momentum. Money Talks is not a dry accounting textbook. It’s your antidote for overwhelming spreadsheets. It’s a practical guide for asking better questions, making smarter decisions, and getting results. It’s for leaders who hate numbers but can’t ignore them.

You’ll learn:

Why “I am not a numbers person” is the most expensive lie in leadership.
How to use simple models to make sense of reports, budgets, and forecasts.
The three things every leader needs to move from confused to clear.
How to cut through financial jargon and have conversations that actually change outcomes.
What to look at (and what to ignore) when you have more numbers than fingers.
The questions to ask when performance is slipping, risk is increasing or strategy is stalling.
Finance doesn’t happen in spreadsheets. It happens in conversations.

Money Talks will show you how to lead finance conversations (whether that’s with your CFO, your team, or your board) to unlock a whole new level of impact for your organisation.
