Celebrating 25 Let's Talk Risk! Conversations

Our weekly LinkedIn Live conversations are helping to build a community of risk practitioners where we can learn from each other!

Dear colleagues, hello! 👋

Hard to believe, but we have just completed 25 Let's Talk Risk! weekly conversations on LinkedIn! 👏

When I look back, I find it truly inspiring to connect and learn from so many of you. We started this journey in early February of 2023 with a simple idea that no one person has all the answers, and that when we openly share our own unique perspectives, challenges and insights, we all learn together.

Indeed, it has proven out to be the case. Now more than 7 months later, we continue to meet each week on Fridays at 11:00 AM EST to talk about risk-related topics. Our sessions are not a webinar, a lecture or a podcast; rather we try to engage in a casual and informal way, so all of us have an opportunity to share our experiences and views.

To celebrate this milestone, I want to share the recordings of our sessions in these links below. Each link is an article with the full recording and key highlights from our conversations.

Here we go - these are listed in the chronological order, starting from the first session in February 2023, to the most recent in September 2023. I invite you to check them out and share your views in comments.

About Let’s Talk Risk! with Dr. Naveen Agarwal

Let’s Talk Risk! with Dr. Naveen Agarwal is a weekly live audio event on LinkedIn, where we talk about risk management related topics in a casual, informal way. Join us at 11:00 am EST every Friday on LinkedIn.

The format is simple - we connect for 30 minutes on a LinkedIn audio event with a live audience. We spend the first 15 minutes with a guest speaker focusing only on a couple of key points related to our topic that week. We then open the floor for a live discussion with everyone in the audience for the next 15 minutes.

The result is a high-energy but very casual conversation where everyone has a chance to participate.

I hope you will join us next time!
