Description
Heard of risk management but not sure what it is, or why you should care? Does the very mention of the word "risk" put you to sleep?

About the Host
I've been working in senior risk management roles in various companies for 20 years. What I've learnt? We make something everyone needs – risk management – much more complicated and inaccessible than it needs to be.
Everyone makes risk management decisions every day, whether at work or in their real life.
I'm passionate about helping normal people – non risk experts – understand the basics of risk management.
I've presented at numerous conferences, run sessions for hundreds of financial advisers around Australia, and I also do a bit of standup and improv – so I know that sessions need to be entertaining or you might as well not bother.
My sessions would be great for small to medium businesses, community groups or anyone who wants to learn how risk management can help them; without being bored to tears.
