If you’re not a numbers person, then finance can be intimidating and easy to ignore. But if you want to advance in your career, you’ll need to make smart financial decisions and develop the confidence to clearly communicate those decisions to others.
This workshop will be exploring methods of conducting advanced financial research and lays out Cheryl Strauss Einhorn’s AREA Method and her latest book. The decision-making system Cheryl developed uniquely controls for biases, focuses on the incentives of others and expands knowledge while improving judgment. This can be applied both to investigating complex financial situations as well as investigative journalism.
During the upheavals of 2007–2009, the Federal Reserve chairman had the name of a Victorian icon on the tip of his tongue: Walter Bagehot.
