The CFO Journey

Where are you?  Where do you want to be?
Many CFOs think that partnering is the end game. In actual fact, that is just the start of the development of their leadership legacy. Taking a far more strategic and holistic approach to their leadership success factors is the key.

This program is ideal for you if...

✅  You have lots of great ideas and plans but don't find you have the structure or resources to implement them.

✅  You know you have a lot more value to give, you see gaps and are craving the opportunity to elevate the business and what's possible. 

✅  You want to shift the perception of you and your role in the organisation from back office to an influential and strategic business partner. (You may have even been told you 'aren't the typical finance person'!)

✅  You want to play a bigger role in supporting your CEO.

This program is not ideal for you if...
❌  You are happy with the status quo.
 
❌  You are looking for a forum to whine.
 
❌  You're all talk no action.

Meet your guide, expert in Finance Leadership,
Alena Bennett

Alena Bennett is an expert in CFO Leadership.
Obsessed with delivering results beyond the numbers, Alena helps leaders in finance unleash the power of their purpose, and brings that to life by teaching them the mindset, skills and behaviours they need to deliver results that inspire.
 
As a Chartered Accountant with international public practice and corporate experience and a trained educator and published author, Alena is the go-to for leaders in finance looking for next-level success.
 

Alena's life work is dedicated to elevating performance and creating possibilities through purpose, presence and people. She understands that purpose integration is the missing link when leaders in finance start to feel their career stagnate or when they feel frustrated that their effort is no longer delivering results, being valued or recognised.

Along with purpose integration, she believes executive presence and an active powerbase are the keys to elevating leadership and moving from authority to mastery.

Alena is a wife and proud mum of two daughters. The radiant energy she brings to her clients is the same as the sunshine and 'cheek' she brings to her family.

Never one to shy away from a conversation, however, she'll respectfully provide you with feedback if she feels it will serve you and in doing so will take your learning experience to levels that it may not otherwise have gone. One thing you'll be sure of is that Alena always has your back.
