fastTrack webinar - Speaking the Language of Business: Building Influence Early in Your Risk Career

24th September 2026 10:00 – 11:00

As risk and insurance professionals progress in their careers, technical expertise alone is often not enough. The ability to explain risk in a way that resonates with senior executives, finance leaders and boards can be equally important in influencing decisions and advancing careers.

Based on findings from Airmic and CNA Hardy's Reframing Risk: Financial Fluency for Risk and Insurance Professionals research, this interactive webinar will explore how experienced risk leaders learned to communicate the value of risk management in a financial and strategic context.

Through live polling, audience discussion and a panel of senior risk professionals, participants will hear practical insights on developing commercial awareness, building confidence when engaging senior stakeholders and translating risk activity into business outcomes.

The session is designed specifically for professionals in the earlier stages of their risk and insurance careers and focuses on practical development rather than technical finance concepts. Participants will leave with actionable ideas to help them become more effective and influential business partners.

 

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

  • Explain why financial fluency is important when communicating with senior executives and boards.
  • Identify the business and financial priorities that typically influence senior decision-making.
  • Describe practical ways to translate risk management activity into business and financial outcomes.
  • Apply techniques used by experienced risk leaders to build credibility and influence with senior stakeholders
  • Select actions to strengthen their own commercial awareness and business communication skills.
