2. Watch my newest video: How to Use Generative AI in Corporate Finance

In this video, I explain how to use generative AI as a corporate finance professional.

I talk about the theoretical part and showcase real and practical examples using ChatGPT.

Enjoy the video:

P.S. One of the cool part of the video: I recorded it in the historical stock exchange building of Paris. As a kid I dreamed of working there, giving a keynote and recording there was even better than what I could have dreamed of!

3. The Phases of Financial Storytelling (Learn the rest of them here)

Here are the phases and steps you need to follow in order to master financial storytelling:

#1 Define Your Audience

The first step in financial storytelling is to define your audience. Who are you presenting to, and what do they need to know? Understanding your audience will help you tailor your message to their needs and make it more engaging.

For example, if you’re presenting to executives, you may need to focus on the high-level implications of the data, whereas if you’re presenting to investors, you may need to provide more detailed information.

How can you improve it?

Ask questions and gather information about your audience beforehand to tailor your message to their needs.

#2: Identify The Key Points

Once you know your audience, you need to identify the key points that you want to communicate. These should be the most important findings, recommendations, or insights from your analysis.

It’s important to focus on the most critical data and avoid overwhelming the audience with too much information.

Focus on the most important findings, recommendations, or insights from your analysis, and avoid overwhelming the audience with too much information.

#3: Create A Narrative

Once you have identified the key points, you need to create a narrative that ties them together. This narrative can be a story or a logical sequence of events leading to your recommendations.

The narrative should be engaging and easy to follow, helping the audience understand the context and relevance of the data.

To create an effective narrative, you should consider the following:

• Start with a clear introduction that sets the scene and provides context for the data.
• Identify the key challenges or opportunities that the data presents.
• Develop a story that connects the data to the challenges or opportunities and leads to your recommendations.
• Use anecdotes or examples to illustrate your points and make the narrative more relatable.
• Keep the narrative concise and focused on the key points.

How can you improve it?

Use storytelling techniques to make your message more engaging and easy to follow. Consider using anecdotes or examples to illustrate your points.
