Human V Automated Decision-Making: Have We Gone Too Far?
We have reached a critical crossroads in the digitisation and automation of processes within insurance and financial services. Some say that we have already gone too far and the human element is being continuously eroded, whereas others believe we have not gone far enough and that insurance and financial services continue to lag behind other professions. There is a fine balance to be struck.
This session is a pre-seminar webinar for our Flagship event "The Evolving Workplace in the 21st Century" happening on Thursday 9 October, Novotel, Leeds.

Public Speaking and Presentation Skills – Making the Difficult Easy
Being asked to deliver a presentation or address a room full of people can be seen as a daunting task. A lack of adequate training or preparation to make such a presentation can lead to anxiety, nervousness and perhaps even fear. This in turn can create limitations – such as slowing down your career path or failing to close that deal you have been working on.
This interactive workshop will provide you with practical guidance and techniques that will enable you to improve and master your presentation skills in a clear, confident and professional manner that will leave a lasting and positive impression on your audience.
