In this episode, Aishat explores one of the most overlooked skills in charity leadership: translating finance into plain English.

Whether you're a finance lead, CEO, or trustee, you'll walk away with practical tips on how to make your financial reports more engaging, understandable, and useful — without dumbing anything down.

Learn how to shift from “silent nods” in meetings to confident financial conversations.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Finance is a shared responsibility. If your board or team isn’t engaging with the numbers, it may be less about capability and more about how the message is being delivered. Speak their language, not yours.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Finance is a language. And if you’re speaking fluent spreadsheet and they’re listening for plain English, you’re not going to connect.”
• “More information doesn’t always mean more clarity....”
• “Offer the same financial message three ways: a story, a visual, and a number.”
• “When we meet people where they are, we’re not talking down, we’re bringing them in.”
