Are you ready to accelerate your leadership?
the journey begins within
Competence has become a commodity
Many professional advisors built their brand and sense of self-worth on expertise. The more one knows the more valuable one believes they are. While competency undoubtedly has a place, it is no longer sufficient.
At the workplace and at home, we are being asked to solve problems that never existed before.
Demand for our psychological resources has never been higher. The rate and pace of change have left many feeling depleted. The seismic shifts in the external world have destabilized our inner worlds and left many questioning: What am I doing with my life? Where do I want to be? How will I get there?
You can’t control the outer world, but you can learn to control your internal reactions to external forces.
Employees are more than competent technicians; they are human beings having human experiences every day while working in your firm. Consciousness is much more than an esoteric buzzword. It’s about seeing yourself, your colleagues, and your clients in a deeper, more meaningful way so you can deliver value well beyond technical acumen.
We believe our profession needs whole human beings, not just competent accountants.
We take our clients through an introspective and transformational journey, guiding them to better understand who they are and safely explore who they want to become. Together, we uncover what it means to be an effective leader in a profession that’s ripe for change.
the accounting profession needs to change now
That change has to come from within YOU. Within YOUR FIRM.
You wouldn’t hire an auditor to prepare your client’s tax return
So why do so many firms rely on technically competent partners to develop future leaders? Not only are those partners missing the expertise; they don’t have the time. Accounting education mentally prepares practitioners for the job. But what it doesn’t teach is how to be a human nor how to create the space for another human to be fully seen and heard. Our team brings the competence and consciousness required to develop leaders at an accelerated pace.
