A Kayaker’s Guide to Risk Management:Plan to Get Wet!
Kayaking in the 50° waters of Puget Sound, miles from shore and in rough conditions is all about risk assessment and incident management. In this often funny and always thought-provoking session, Linda shares insights learned (and earned) from her paddle adventures and applies them to your bank.
- Discover the ‘hidden’ steps to reduce your risk in rough waters
- Assess and improve your team’s approach to ‘confused seas’
- Deconstruct a ‘near miss’ to learn, and then share, the lessons
Turbulence is ahead in banking, by definition. Prepare now for your next trip into choppy seas.
