Rising Star Roundtable

I’ve had the good fortune of successfully creating and growing 6 professional communities. All of these have been created in the Accounting Profession and you may even be aware of some of them as they have developed into brand identities such as AIR, ProNation, OnePass, PricingMasteryPro, Addviser+, to name some.

These communities (where Chatham House rules are accepted as standard) provide a wide range of benefits for both member’s careers and their organisational development by creating opportunities, objectives, outcomes, and help (the ‘ooohs’):
The Main Ten ‘Ooohs’ are:

1. When fellow members get to know you, they become your support and sometimes your evangelists.

2. Mutual collaborations, joint ventures, referral agreements and content projects are created.

3. The community provides you with a speakeasy environment to discuss your career progression, your firm and any issues on your mind with an immediate and responsive advisory board.

4. Your profile as a thought leader/expert is grown.

5. You have the chance to influence your peers and more crucially, their audiences which equals instant personal brand building with no investment.

6. Career opportunities, if desired, are created there.

7. Your current career and corporate challenges are explored and advised on by your non-conflicted peers.

8. You have access to David Kerr's, Michael Quigley's and my global consulting experience within the professional services sector.

9. You learn from other’s mistakes and successes in order to save time.

10. You get an opportunity to think clearly away from office pressures and reduce the loneliness that’s often associated with leaderships roles.

The environment is exclusive (Manchester’s St. James Club) the day is fast paced, and the opportunities are whatever you want them to be.

So, to join where the elite meet, please take advantage of the early bird offer as the event is limited to 14 seats allocated on a first come, first served basis and no more such events are planned in 2024.
