    Conversations with Ryan Piper: Our Strategic Journey: From Insight to Impact

    In this episode, Ryan explains the shift from traditional top-down planning to a bold, bottom-up approach powered by members. He shares examples of ideas that started with member input and are already driving change within the Association. And it’s not just about outcome, it is about ownership. What happens when members don’t just follow the strategy, but build it? This conversation tackles how things are done differently you are doing things differently? What does “getting there” actually look like? This episode explore what this could mean for the Association’s future, and why this approach could redefine the value of membership altogether. But this only works if members are part of it. So how can they get involved and make their voice count?

    Conversations with: Mary Margaret Prange and Coco Wang: the importance & impact of mentorship

    In this episode, Mary Margaret Prange, and Coco Wang from Calibre CPA share their insights and experiences of mentorship beyond formal structures. While corporate programs create valuable frameworks, some of the most meaningful mentorship happens informally—through proximity, shared experience, and what we call professional osmosis. This kind of organic mentorship can be especially powerful. It reduces isolation, encourages collaboration, and builds confidence in ways formal systems alone often cannot. In recognition of International Women’s Day, this conversation highlights that mentorship isn’t always assigned—sometimes it simply evolves. And when it does, its impact can shape not only individual careers, but entire workplace cultures.

    Conversations with Laurence Fishman: The Business of Belonging: Why Connection Is the Real Competitive Advantage

    Professional services are often described as a “people business”. In this episode of Conversations with, Georgie Baker is joined by Laurence Fishman, Partner at Nyman Libson Paul to explore the intersection of human connection and brand - and why neither can succeed without the other. Together, they discuss how authentic relationships play a vital role in long-term success and how to foster trust and build a sense of belonging across hybrid and global teams.   While AI and technology continue to reshape our industry, Laurence and Georgie reflect on what they cannot replace: empathy, judgement, trust, and meaningful human connection.  If there’s one piece of advice for emerging leaders, it’s this: Invest in relationships before you need them – and build a brand that reflects who you truly are, not just what you sell.  This episode is a powerful reminder that impact, influence, and sustainable growth are built on connection.
