* Free of Charge (only members will receive CPD certificates)*
HFMA provide a vital network for finance staff in what is becoming an increasingly fragmented healthcare
system. HFMA’s “Stronger Together” initiative is all about supporting each other, building networks and
partnerships, sharing ideas and good practice and working together. As part of this initiative we are
offering a range of opportunities aimed specifically at helping HFMA members to face the challenge of
developing and maintaining robust relationships during a time of intense service pressures.

Workshop 1:
Maximise your Impact
Neuroscience can teach us a lot about what it takes to impress other people, and how to nudge them into
behaving in ways that we like. This workshop will explain how all human beings have ‘two brains’, and how to
use this knowledge to increase your impact at work.

Making the right first impression: understanding how people assess you
Why should they listen to me? The relationship between technical expertise, confidence and
credibility
Getting your point across in ‘difficult’ meetings
Understanding power and presence: finding your own gravitas
The science of influencing people

Workshop 2:
Time Management for Human Beings
A lot of time management advice seems to be based on the mistaken assumption that people are like machines
– it’s all about finding a more efficient daily process. This workshop takes a different view: human beings have
temperaments, moods and biorhythms. In other words, good time management is a highly individual challenge,
and one approach won’t suit everyone.
