Scale Heights On Your Terms
Manage episode 463722416 series 2423284
What are some surprising achievements in your own life that you never initially aimed for? How did you reach them?
In this episode, I reflect on my unexpected journey from a modest beginning as an everyday accountant to becoming a shareholder and managing partner at a regional CPA firm. I share my insights and personal stories that reveal how I overcame self-doubt and embraced opportunities I once thought were impossible.
Inspiring Takeaways
Scaling Heights: I talk about my evolution from just wanting a job with a paycheck in 1988 to managing a significant book of business and directing a women's initiative that holds an annual conference with 250-300 women.
Valuable Lessons: I emphasize the importance of viewing one's journey with gratitude and learning from each experience, whether it's a success or a failure. My path was filled with valuable lessons, mindset changes, and the importance of embracing opportunities — even those I initially deterred.
Support Systems: I talk about how critical support systems have been in my journey. My biggest fan, my husband Rob Collins, provides unwavering support and encouragement, which plays a pivotal role in my career growth and personal development.
Learning from Others: I speak about the influence of various individuals, some I have never met but learned from, such as Lady Gaga and Queen Elizabeth. Their diverse approaches to life and work provide me with different perspectives that enriches my own journey.
Future Legacy: I also touch on the importance of legacy and mentoring the next generation. I believe in empowering younger generations to continue the work she started and the importance of letting them take the lead while providing guidance.
