Designing What's Next for Accountants: The Ideas We Couldn’t Stop Talking About at Bridging the Gap
Live from Bridging the Gap, Nancy is joined by Al-Nesha Jones, Jennifer Dymond, and Dena Martin to explore what it takes to build a sustainable career, a firm that works for you, and a community that helps you get there. Al-Nesha shares how she's mastered the four-day workweek and uses AI to become a better delegator; Dena opens up about ADHD, accountability, and finding the confidence to put herself out there; and Dymond explains how improv, communication, and meaningful relationships have transformed her career. Along the way, the women tackle burnout, the importance of asking for help, and the challenge of turning conference inspiration into action. With plenty of laughter and questions from the live audience, it's a conversation about intentionally designing what's next—and finding the people who will help you make it happen.
