Keynote & Roundtable Expert
Helena Territt Keynote Speaker at A Meeting of Minds Winning Advisers North
A Meeting of Minds is a day long forum run by Owen James Events, with a networking dinner and drinks the evening before and is a blend of keynote sessions geared to encouraging new thinking – typically from outside of the industry, roundtables – small facilitated groups addressing a carefully researched agenda. The whole day is Chatham House and therefore participants are able to speak openly and freely and plenty of networking opportunities including a formal seated luncheon.
The event brought together the owner managers of financial advisory firms which typically have £150M - £500M funds under management and between 3 and 20 RIs. The agenda examined all aspects of business, focusing on productivity and profitability, as well as overarching trends within the industry as a whole.
Helena’s Keynote “The Power of Thinking Differently”
excerpt:
“I would like to tell you a quick story. I’d like to persuade you that disrupting the status quo is the key to performance. I’m going to give you a bit of evidence to support my claim and then I will challenge you to embrace the weird parts of yourself.”
Helena was also provided the opening presentation on the Roundtable Session: “Talent Contest. How to attract and retain the best candidates in today’s competitive recruitment market”, which included discussion on:
Promoting a modern environment will attract the best talent, but also retain them for longer
What makes you stand out from the crowd? Highlight the benefits of being part of your firm
The costs of wasted salary, training, recruiting, loss of productivity and staff turnover on bad hires
How long you should be prepared to spend on finding the right people and then onboarding
The costs of FCA fees, training and other costs such as software licences, office space and equipment
