The Personal Finance Society Hants & Dorset, Surrey and Thames Valley Regional Committees in association with the Insurance Institutes of Bournemouth, Guildford, Reading and Southampton have organised a training day for those members who are studying for and taking the AF4 examination. As AF4 is a large topic to cover, the training has been split into Day 1 and Day 2 to fully cover the subjects involved. Delegates are advised to attend both sessions. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Regional Committees have suspended all Face to Face events for 2020. This will be an online distance learning event.

We are pleased to welcome back Susan Heaton Wright who delivered the 'Resilience and looking after yourself in challenging times' webinar in April. This webinar is the first in a trilogy of soft skills webinars in September and early October. Overview: How is it that some people rapidly climb the career ladder whilst others – who might be equally as good, remain at a lower level? Having studied very successful people; watching their behaviour, actions and attitudes, Susan has identified key engagements these successful people do in order to be visible to decision makers. And in this time where cuts are being made, you want to be the go to person: the person who is positively noticed – and she doesn't mean the loudest person: the last person standing when difficult decisions are made.

We welcome back a regular presenter, Jeff Heasman for the second in our trilogy of soft skills seminars for September and October. Good negotiation skills are crucial to many different roles within the insurance and financial services sector, and though we may not always realise it, most of our day-to-day work centres around negotiations. That said, little or no formal training is devoted towards these essential skills. This is an interactive and fun session that introduces the key elements of a negotiation process.
