CPD Webinar: Creating Constructive Conversation
Research shows that diverse groups perform better than homogenous ones.
Yet by its very nature diversity is often a trigger for conflict and stress. So how
do you create an environment where it is “safe” for everyone to speak up?
In this webinar, we explore the mindsets, habits and behaviours of constructive conversations.

FCA GI Consumer Duty and Multi-Occupancy update
Soon we will have had Consumer Duty for a year and firms will be preparing for their first annual board reports.
The session will cover the updates and the new rules that are effective from 1 January 2024 on multi-occupancy buildings insurances following intervention by the government – these new rules impact over 5 million leaseholders who are defined as stakeholders and firms have to act in their best interests. Insurers and brokers will also need to provide information about policies to leaseholders, including details of all remuneration and placement. We will also cover the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act which has banned commission sharing.

CPD Webinar: Intermediate Marine Cargo Insurance
If you participated in the marine cargo introductory session in March, then hopefully you will be sleeping better knowing the different Incoterms and the Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC).
Building on that session, we will now delve deeper into the wonderful world of marine cargo insurance by examining the factors involved in the assessment of risk.
We then move to analysing the cover in more detail by examining a policy wording looking at conditions, extensions and exclusions
This one-hour webinar provided by Alan Hornby is Part 2 of 3 of the webinar series on Marine Cargo Insurance. This session is aimed at those who wish to expand on the knowledge gained from the first session or those who wish to expand their knowledge of this important but often overlooked class of business.

CPD Webinar: SURE: A new technique to ensure clients have understood your advice
We naturally ask the client if there is anything they didn´t understand and often, the client replies “No”. Or we ask if everything was clear and the client answers “Yes”. But can we rely on these answers as being an accurate reflection of whether the client truly has listened to and understood that advice? The answer is NO!!
Recent FCA guidance papers on vulnerable customers and the new consumer duty have emphasised the obligation to take steps to ensure the customer has understood our advice and recommendations and anyway, it is just good practice!
That is why, in this session, Jeff Heasman will outline his SURE technique for insurance and financial services professionals, based on concept checking, a method traditionally used in language teaching.
Concept checking is designed to determine, with as much certainty as possible, that the client has understood the advice. Easy to apply to day-to-day interactions with clients, the SURE technique will help avoid misunderstandings now and in the future.
Wed 10 Jul 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
