Inside Lunch & Learn: Your Most Productive Hour of the Month
I believe that learning doesn't come from reading another white-paper or a disengaging webinar speaking. It comes from conversations with like-minded peers on your level. That’s why we created Lunch & Learn, a monthly virtual gathering where our Pro Members come together to cut through the noise and talk real challenges, real change, and real opportunities.
This isn’t about passive learning. It’s about connection, curiosity, and community.
What is Lunch & Learn?
Lunch & Learn is an interactive session for finance professionals who want to stay sharp and lead change. We use a Lean Coffee format—meaning the agenda is set by the people in the room. Every topic is peer-chosen, every insight peer-shared. I host the session, but it’s your space to explore what matters most.
Who’s it for?
If you’re in a leadership role—or aspiring to one—and care about learning, transformation, and doing finance differently, this is for you. It’s especially powerful for those leading digital, data, and team change.
What you can expect
Here’s a snapshot of what we tackled in the latest session:
Communicating Without Micromanaging – How to adapt your style to different team needs, especially in remote settings.
Learning That Sticks – Why small, focused groups like this beat bloated conferences hands down.
Cybersecurity and Finance’s Role – Real stories of risk and the growing need for finance to take the lead on process integrity.
Power BI and the Culture Shift – Why adopting new tools requires more than training—it needs mindset change.
The Power of Community – Members described Lunch & Learn as their “extended team”—a space to think, share and reset.
Why Members Value It
Lunch & Learn is more than a meeting. It’s an hour to engage with a tribe of finance professionals who are as committed to change as you are. You’ll leave each session with insights you can use immediately, and a community that’s got your back.
If you’re ready to think differently about what learning looks like in finance, this is where you start.
