Co-founder and Principal
I run a leadership development firm that provides coaching, group learning and consulting to CPAs.
I provide leadership development to accounting individuals and firms across the U.S. through one-to-one coaching, workshops, consulting, and public speaking. I also spend much of my time running the business, which includes sales and marketing, operations, strategy, finance and other administrative tasks, and developing new content and services. Some days I work from home providing coaching and running the business and other days I'm on the road speaking, teaching, and meeting with clients.
Here's the first step for everyone
Learn from others who have been in these positions before you. Listen, ask questions, see what resonates with you. Then evaluate whatever inspiration comes up regarding your own next steps. If you want to be a business coach, any degree in business is helpful. For leadership coaching in general, I recommend a major or courses in leadership, psychology, or organizational development. I also suggest attending an ICF accredited coach training program and obtaining coaching credentials through ICF.
