Recently was asked to facilitate a Leadership Essentials DEI discussion with the #KPMG GAMG leadership team and here are a few reflections I left with: -Treating everyone the same doesn’t work when you don’t know enough about everyone to be fair -People don’t want to be treated the same at the expense of seeing their individuality -Sometimes by treating someone the same and ignoring an important difference about them, you can actually do harm -While we can debate what is appropriate to do, if we do nothing, what is the default state and is that what creates the highest performance or just more of the same? We also discussed the power of connection and how inclusion (or lack thereof) has many faces. While like most organizations we have a ways to go, proud to be at a company where leadership teams like this one under Larry Bradley are making an effort to live and breathe DE&I and are open to criticism and seeking constant improvement. Thanks to Bernie Szentirmay and Felicia Mazza for inviting me to be part of the conversation and to my excellent co-facilitator Mara Maceri, MBA, CUSECO, CISA, CIPT, CDP, CIGE, CIST. #kpmgproud

Many thanks to the Tapestry Networks European Audit Committee Leadership Network (#EACLN) for providing a platform to engage with #internalaudit leaders on effective practices as internal audit teams adapt and innovate amidst today's swift regulatory changes. With a keen interest in digital innovation and audit quality, I was intrigued by the discussion about how new technologies are transforming internal audits. It was also striking to see how this shift requires companies to be well-prepared and have the right skills to carry out these audits. Moreover, it was also enlightening to hear from experts about how internal audit teams are playing an increasingly important role in ESG-related issues. #digitalinnovation #esg #corporateculture #betterworkingworld

According to the 2024 PWC APAC CEO report, 97% of companies have taken steps to reinvent themselves. A top barrier, according to the CEOs, is workforce skills. Check out our latest case study with Deloitte and how they support their people to step up to become a partner.

As I evolve in my leadership role at Deloitte, the essence of our firm purpose - Making an Impact That Matters - becomes ever more intertwined with my personal and professional growth. Reflecting on the wisdom of Jack Welch, "Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others," I find profound alignment with Deloitte's purpose, particularly in the realm of talent development. Leadership, for me, is a journey of transformation. It commences with self-improvement and awareness, which are critical for developing empathy, vision, and the capacity to inspire those we lead. The pinnacle of leadership, however, is marked by a shift from personal advancement to the dedication to the growth and development of our team members. In today's dynamic business environment, where individual accomplishments are often spotlighted, it is essential to recognize that a leader's true success transcends personal achievements. It is significantly defined by our ability to uplift and empower our colleagues. By offering coaching, learning opportunities, or just being a pillar of support and guidance, we embody Deloitte's commitment to making an impact that matters, fostering an environment where talent can flourish and reach unparalleled heights. I am so proud to say that our partners at Deloitte are wholly committed to this ethos, aiming to be a driving force in the professional growth and success of our peers at Deloitte. We want to ensure that we not only excel individually but also elevate those around us, living up to the profound responsibility of making an impact that truly matters. #Deloitte #MakingAnImpactThatMatters #Leadership #GrowthMindset #EmpoweringOthers #TalentDevelopment

The first day of Bright Network’s IEUK has wrapped up, and what an insightful day it has been! We delved into leadership development with Deloitte's Joao Martins, explored essential transferable skills with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)'s Zoe Wells, and unravelled the nuances of personal branding with PwC UK's Charlotte Sangster. Personally, today has been a revelation in understanding the core elements of career advancement, including: - Productivity 👨💻: The key to job retention and climbing the career ladder. - Industry Trends 📈: Ensuring our skills stay relevant in a dynamic market. - Adaptability 🌊: Building resilience and embracing new challenges. How did today’s sessions shape your understanding of these critical areas? #BrightNetwork #IEUK2024 #InternshipProgram #BusinessOperations #CareerDevelopment
