Digital Transformation Speaker for Accounting professionals

Inspire accounting professionals, both leaders, and employees, to embrace digital transformation as an opportunity to better serve their organizations, clients, and colleagues.


Empower your attendees to embrace new technology in a mindful way so that they are not only more productive but feel more fulfilled and connected.

Mindful Technology: Embracing Technology, Innovation, and Mindfulness to Create Lasting Human Connections

(Technology, Mindfulness, Human Connection, Employee Engagement topic)

Technology, such as cloud software, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, is not the end of real human connection -- it is just the beginning. In fact, the future of people collaborating and communicating in the workplace, whether it’s between your team members or serving your customers, will increasingly depend on how you take advantage of the latest technology to create an experience that is uniquely yours as a business. Embracing new technology will not isolate humans or make us irrelevant as some fear. Instead, when used correctly, and given the right amount of focus, it has the potential to empower your employees to tap back into their purpose, become more mindful leaders and empathetic communicators, and create greater work-life harmony for improved productivity, innovation, and overall happiness in their work and life. Creating a culture that embraces this new way of working, allows for authenticity, creativity, and self-discovery, which is the key to innovation and igniting the soul of a business.

In this presentation, you will:

  • Unlearn the routines of the past by embracing technology and learning how it’s currently being incorporated and connecting people in business and improving company culture;

  • Tap into self-discovery and mindfulness techniques to feel more fulfilled in the work you do; and,

  • Learn how to let technology do the heavy lifting so you can dedicate more time to developing the soft skills necessary to create a collaborative and lasting relationship with your employees and your customers.


The Connected Leader: Creating an Engaged Company Culture in the Digital Age

(Leadership, Employee Engagement, and Change Management topic)

In this age of technology disruption, everything is changing around us. We sometimes can feel like we don’t know where our anchor is - what will stay the same, what will change, and what we can depend on.

We can find that when implementing change in our organization, individual patterns of behavior can show up in ways that prevent the business from making progress and embracing the opportunities ahead. While we are focusing on change management in our organizations and what the future of our work will look like, we should also be spending an equal amount of time creating stronger human connections.

With time and dedication, you can learn to become a connected leader who contributes to cultivating an engaging and fulfilling work-life culture for yourself, your team, and your colleagues.

During this talk, Amy will take you on an emotional journey of self-reflection. You will discover more compassion for yourself and others, be more mindful as a leader, and improve how you communicate to achieve the desired outcomes together as a team.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How habits and patterns are created in our lives from the time we are young that affect us into our adulthood and the steps to break the ones that don’t serve us;

  • Understand how the ego develops, influences our work lives, and impacts how well we interact with others;

  • Ways to change your mindset to overcome negativity and replace it with gratitude; and,

  • Create more compassion for the people you work with by creating communities of support to break down barriers and achieve the best results for the organization.

Becoming a Cherished Advisor®: The Technology, the Process, and Practice Management

(Technology, Corporate Culture, and Change Management topic)

New technology is changing the way your clients expect to work and manage their financials. To stay relevant, accounting professionals are retooling to launch into new services and will need to acquire new skill sets, one being that of a technologist. This session will discuss why it’s important to not just implement technology to do things the same way you have always done them, but instead, rethink the business processes in your practice and the type of staffing that is needed to be successful. By doing this, you can become more efficient, productive, collaborative and create an environment of purpose that your team and clients can rally around. You will come away with an understanding of how technology’s gift of more time gives you the opportunity to become “Cherished Advisors” -- highly valued, strategic partners who are an integral part of their client's businesses and whom their clients can’t imagine living without.

In this session, attendees will gain an understanding of:

  • Identify your purpose as a firm;

  • Understand the “Cherished Advisor” journey and the different stages of innovation for your practice;

  • Know how to create your firm’s path to specializing in vertical industries;

  • Create a technology strategy and how to assess the right technology fit for your practice; and,

  • Re-engineer your business processes and staffing to take full advantage of the technology implemented in your firm and create new ways of collaboration with your team and clients.

  • Identifying the right talent: employees and/or contractors and identify the right education to empower your team
