So I wonder why so many firms overly rely on technically competent partners to develop future leaders. Not only are those partners missing the expertise; they don&#8217;t have the time. Accounting education mentally prepare practitioners for the job. But what it doesn&#8217;t teach is how to have a human experience while working with other humans in a demanding profession. I know, because I started my career as an accountant. I pivoted into the HR side of a firm after two busy seasons. The overachiever in me demanded I go back to school for a Masters in Leadership Studies. Much to my surprise, this is where my journey of self\u00addiscovery began. The coursework required that I spend time looking within- a place I knew little about yet is the ultimate source of my leadership. As the principal designer of this program, I bring over twenty years of practical experience that spans all stages of the employee life cycle in your firm. I co\u00adcreated two nationally recognized programs- an internship and a corporate university- for a regional CPA firm. I&#8217;ve served as an internal coach in a Big Four firm. I&#8217;ve interacted with thousands of CPAs who desire to grow their career without losing their soul. I created Conscious Public Accountants for you, for your firm, and for our profession as a whole. <strong>Together we rise!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5jgb1d-73a2717f7b6f4554636f1ec38670504e\">\n#top .hr.av-5jgb1d-73a2717f7b6f4554636f1ec38670504e{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-5jgb1d-73a2717f7b6f4554636f1ec38670504e .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5jgb1d-73a2717f7b6f4554636f1ec38670504e hr-custom  avia-builder-el-47  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-none'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id='testimonials'  class='avia-section av-3xkbw1-3f1f4200f8e293ab1fda0e084b7a025d main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-48  el_after_av_layout_row  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll av-minimum-height av-minimum-height-custom  container_wrap sidebar_right'   data-av_minimum_height_px='200'><div class='container av-section-cont-open' style='height:200px'><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-4385'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column av-2n8lb5-f21815e7fe0f7a4d708922199a027b0a av_one_full  avia-builder-el-49  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  first flex_column_div av-animated-generic bottom-to-top '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lqcla9b1-543a99dbfdd1bc5b589b8b52ae4bb575'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">We believe performance begins with consciousness.
