I am the guest this week on Hannah Macdonald’s Human Too podcast. It’s a podcast that shows accountants are human, too.
In this episode I discuss my career as a CIPFA accountant and how it divides into two halves. The first half is fairly conventional, rising through the ranks of local government to reach chief finance officer level. The second half is unique. I’ve been self-employed for almost 20 years and have migrated over that time from interim management and consultancy assignments to teaching and writing.
Writing is one of the themes of the interview and I explain why I spend so much time and energy encouraging accountants to improve their writing and presentation skills.
As well as the podcast I will be delivering a presentation skills webinar with Hannah on 26 September. You can find more details and register here.
To get a taste of what I will talk about, the video is a clip of me sharing something I learned about presentations from my teaching work.
