Inspirational Women Leaders in Accounting Panel 5
Accounting Influencers Podcast - A podcast by Rob Brown (Accounting Influencers Roundtable - AIR)
Categories:
On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Podcast Network, this is the "Success in Accounting" show, going live every Monday to 150 countries and 30,000 accounting practitioners, fintech specialists and influencers in the accountancy, CPA and bookkeeping space. This new panel series includes prominent and influential female leaders and voices in the accounting and fintech world. We have invited female leaders of large accounting firms, global networks, associations and alliances, plus senior figures in accounting fintech companies. Accounting and fintech has traditionally been a male dominated profession but times are changing. There are now more women than men in accounting generally but they are under-represented in leadership roles. Diversity and the DEI agenda has also risen to prominence as a hot topic. The two objective of these panels are To inspire women in the accounting/fintech profession with career insights, mistakes and lessons learned, mental resilience tips and thoughts on work balance/meaning and leadership. To move diversity, inclusivity and culture further up the agenda for all leaders with real life stories and examples of best practice. In today's episode 21, "Inspirational Women Leaders in Accounting Panel 5" features Amy Cotton Head of Partnership Management at Capitalise https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-cotton-60548bb6/ Nicole Sterling President of the Association for Accounting Marketing https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleksterling/ Sue Staunton Managing Partner at James Cowper Kreston https://www.linkedin.com/in/sue-staunton-4b369019/ Topics addressed in these panels: 1. OPENING REMARKS What makes DIVERSITY important in the accounting and fintech world, particularly as a woman in a male dominated environment? (talent, perspectives, what women and minorities 'bring to the table', challenges for under-represented groups, prejudice - 'having to work twice as hard as more entitled people', is accounting and fintech becoming more 'woke' and 'gender-blind? etc) 2. YOUR OWN CAREER What pivotal points or obstacles have marked your journey 'to the top'? (barriers, prejudices, expectations, your role models, seeing people like you in leadership roles, champions, influencers or even saboteurs along the way etc) 3. LEADERSHIP STYLE Who have you admired as a leader and why? What did they teach you? What's your own style? A more 'feminine' compassionate, authentic and vulnerable leader seems popular. Is that you? Have you learned 'how not to lead' under some people? 4. CULTURE What works for leaders in setting a culture that embraces a more diverse workforce and greater inclusiveness? Is it easier or harder to lead in today's complex world than ever before? 5. CLOSING REMARKS What are your top 2-3 career or life tips for women in accounting who want to become leaders, get promoted, reach the very top or even just to be more recognised/accepted?
