Think, Speak, and Lead with the Financial Logic Executives Trust

In Hawaii’s competitive business landscape, many strong leaders reach a point where being great at their “first language” (operations, marketing, technology, people strategy) is not enough to keep advancing. Executive conversations increasingly run on financial logic.

Join Toshi Shibano, PhD, for a complimentary Lunch & Learn preview of Finance as a Second Language®. This is not accounting. It’s about using financial logic to explain decisions clearly, justify priorities, and contribute with confidence at the executive level.

In this one-hour session, you will:

* See how executives use financial logic to evaluate decisions.
* Learn how leaders connect their work to financial outcomes.
* Experience a live teaching segment.
* Get a preview of the six-part executive program starting August 13, 2026.
