Wilson's Writings

Happy Spring! We’re especially happy at ConvergenceCoaching, having just celebrated our 9th anniversary thanks to our partnership and friendship with you. To mark the occasion, we’re easing into a new look-and-feel for our e-letter and e-mail notices. We’ll be flowing this look into other areas of our firm’s communications in the weeks and months to come.

As we head into the more proactive summer months, an inevitable part of planning turns to firm training. And we all know that CPE is essential to our success, because in the accounting and technology professions, we are, first and foremost, in the knowledge business. The more we know, the more value we bring to our clients. Economic impacts, new legislation and regulation, competitive advances, and technology innovations all drive us to learn quickly and assimilate our learning into new behaviors even faster.

That’s why we’ve dedicated this issue of Coaching Concepts to learning management. In Leadership Lessons, we’ll explore the keys to developing a top-down, authentic learning culture in your firm. Then, in Practice Perspectives , my partner Tamera Loerzel will share the steps to developing your firm’s Learning Initiative Plan and Individual Learning Roadmaps. Finally, New News will update you on all of the latest happenings in our firm, including the upcoming launch of a new online learning platform, offering anytime, anywhere soft skills CPE designed for CPA and IT professionals. Take a look at our first three courses and see how this offering and our other training and development courses and workshops may help your firm succeed.

We welcome your feedback on our ideas and encourage you to share some of your own with us, too. Enjoy the renewal of spring!

Gratefully,
