Description

Are you a financial professional working in industry looking to get more out of your career?
Do you have what it takes to sit at the boardroom table at your company and contribute?

If this is the way you are thinking today and the direction you'd like to go, then this is the leadership program for you.
Hi there, I’m Blair Cook and I’m a seven time CFO and three time corporate director. I’ve spent the past two decades around the boardroom table facilitating strategy sessions, raising financing, negotiating mergers and acquisitions, and reporting to a board of directors or serving on the board of directors.
In this program, we have curated ideas to help financial professionals move from the cubicle to the corner office as soon as possible. Its table stakes that you know the numbers and can prepare the reports. In this program, you’ll learn to move beyond the accounting to think strategically, act as a catalyst leader, and influence the decisions of any organization for the better.
