Practical Ways Men Can Address Tech's Gender Imbalance | Startup Week Chattan...Very
Countless studies show companies with gender-diverse teams outperform those where women are underrepresented. If you aren’t investing in increasing diversity, you’re likely to lose out to competitors who are. And yet, women only hold 25% of computing jobs and 11% of executive roles in Silicon Valley.
This is a big, contentious problem, and we need the best minds—both men and women—to collaborate and work toward a solution. Since men hold the majority of leadership positions at all types of companies, men have an opportunity to make a real difference.
In this Startup Week Chattanooga event, Very's director of marketing Emily Maxie shares the stories of the men who have supported, challenged, and encouraged her so far in my career, and she gives no-nonsense tips for advocating for more gender equality in the workplace.

Most respondents also agreed that businesses should make positive social impact a central part of their operations rather than just giving to charity. The document advocates for businesses to openly and unapologetically discuss their social missions from the top down in order to truly integrate sustainability into their core operations.

This document discusses the emerging role of talent advisory services in organizations. It argues that talent has become a key factor in organizational success and competitive advantage. Effective talent management is needed to guide decisions around attracting, developing and retaining talent, while linking talent capabilities to business outcomes. Three forces are driving the need for sophisticated talent advisory services: (1) a risk argument that outlines how poor talent management can destroy shareholder value; (2) a value-creation argument showing a correlation between effective talent management practices and improved financial performance; and (3) a regulatory argument around compliance requirements. The document advocates for talent advisory functions to assess and mitigate talent risks, in a similar way that internal audit assesses financial and compliance risks.
Communication as a leadership skill is becoming more important than ever before. As we have seen in the case of Elon Musk, how CEOs signal their leadership on social media can make or break a company's reputation. Social is making PR a more critical corporate function, and now leadership communication by executives online is the key to public relations success for senior leaders.

Most business owners have a general sense of what selling their business will look like. However, the specific steps often elude them. Much like selling a home, selling a business can be a fairly complicated proposition with a number of moving parts. This sessions shares thoughts on preparing for the very active process from the time a letter of intent is signed up until the deal closes, a process which often takes months to complete.
The document discusses the fixed and growth mindsets, coaching frameworks, and overcoming obstacles. It describes how a fixed mindset leads people to play it safe and limit growth to avoid disproving perceptions of brilliance. In contrast, treating people as capable helps them achieve their potential. The GROW model is presented as a widely used coaching framework to guide setting goals, understanding realities and obstacles, exploring options, and determining next steps to move forward.
Leadership in the CPA Profession - FICPA Emerging Leaders SummitDan Griffiths
Most of us are not going to be thrust into a leadership role with lots of responsibility early in our careers. It can take time to build the connections and credibility for that to happen. Here's a secret: The CPA profession is your shortcut. This is about more than just passing an exam and "getting your CPA" to slap on your resume.
In this session we'll discuss how to leverage involvement in the profession and our professional associations to build leadership skills, network connections, and credibility all at once. We will help you determine how to get involved and make an impact on your career and community.
How to Sell Without Feeling Like a Salesperson - FICPA Emerging Leaders SummitDan Griffiths
CPAs don’t like selling. In fact, they don’t even like to use the word “sell” when describing business development activities. If we had wanted to be salespeople, we probably would have taken a different career path. However, to be truly successful in our profession, both in public accounting and industry, sales skills are a must. In this session, we’ll show you how even young CPAs can generate leads, build a network, and close sales; all without feeling like a salesperson.
Moving from Compliance to Consultant - FICPA Emerging Leaders SummitDan Griffiths
As CPAs, we like to tell ourselves that we are trusted advisers to our clients. However, the onslaught of compliance work and deadlines can often mean that any "advising" we do ends up being more limited than we care to admit. Worse, we tend to get paid for all of the compliance and we chalk up our time advising to "client development." In this session, we'll discuss how to position yourself as more of an adviser, both within your firm and with clients. You'll learn how to change your workflow and pricing model to build in more of an advisory focus and ensure you get paid for all of the consulting you are already doing.
Becoming the Architect of Your Own Career - FICPA Emerging Leaders SummitDan Griffiths
It can be easy to find ourselves on the career conveyor belt. Get accepted into a good university. Get good grades. Get accepted into the business school. Get more good grades. Get accepted into the accounting program or graduate school. Get more good grades. Get a job at a reputable firm. Distinguish yourself as a new staff. Get promoted to senior. And so it goes.
This hands-on workshop will provide you with an opportunity to step back and focus on what you really want out of life and how to build a career that supports those goals. Instead of just letting your career happen to you, this session will give you tools and a simple process to help you play a proactive role in architecting the career you want.
Thought Bridging - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
This document discusses how thoughts influence emotions and actions, and how changing one's thoughts can change outcomes. It notes that emotions pass through our system in 90 seconds, and in the space between a stimulus and response we have freedom to choose our reaction. The results always seek to justify the initial thought. Alternative thoughts can be just as believable as the original and change the emotional response and subsequent actions and results. Exercises are provided to identify recent strong emotional responses, the underlying thoughts, and alternative thoughts that could change the outcome. The document encourages turning one's brain back on to gain more control over thoughts, emotions and actions. It concludes with contact information for Dan Griffiths, the author.
Strengths Based Leadership - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
This document discusses discovering personal strengths and building high-performing teams through understanding strengths. It explains that people tend to gravitate towards others like themselves and highlights the importance of both shared values and diversity within teams. The document provides examples of how leaders can identify their own strengths and coach their teams by developing a shared vocabulary around strengths, engaging team members in their strengths, and ensuring people are playing roles that align with their strengths. Effective teams leverage the diverse strengths of all members.
Self Awareness - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
The document discusses the importance of self-awareness for effective leadership. It suggests that people often fail to get to know themselves due to fear of inadequacy, compartmentalization, and distractions of daily life. The document advocates getting honest feedback from others by creating a safe environment and priming the pump early in one's career. Leaders are encouraged to influence human behavior starting with their own through self-awareness.
Leadership is defined as the ability to intentionally influence human thought, emotion and behavior. The document discusses how leadership is changing and identifies some possible reasons why an engagement team member has been showing up late for work over the past two weeks, including lack of motivation, ability issues, or environmental factors hindering performance.
Intentional Influence - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
The document discusses leadership and influence. Effective leadership requires clearly defining desired results and understanding behaviors that will achieve those results. Leaders should identify specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound results. They should also determine behaviors that will contribute to those results, considering motivations from personal, social, and structural sources of motivation and ability. Leaders need to make undesirable behaviors undesirable and desirable behaviors desirable by harnessing peer pressure, designing rewards, investing in skills, leveraging numbers, and changing environments. They should plan for potential failures.
Insights to Action Application - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
The document discusses the importance of strategic thinking for leadership. It notes that a study of 60,000 leaders found strategic thinking was, on average, 10 times more important to perceptions of effectiveness than other behaviors. It promotes engaging stakeholders, aligning people, and leading change. It also emphasizes making thinking visible, trusting group wisdom, focusing on opportunities, and shifting from advocacy to inquiry. The final section provides background on the speaker, Dan Griffiths, a director of strategic planning at an accounting firm.
Development Planning - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
This document discusses various aspects of leadership and development, including:
- The key attributes that separate great performers from others are deliberate practice, deep domain knowledge, willingness to repeat hard tasks after failure, and pushing their capabilities.
- Organizations should assign people to tasks they need to work on, not just what they're already good at.
- The best performers set developmental goals around the process of reaching an outcome, not just the outcome itself.
- Structured coaching involves focusing on strengths, separating coaching from mentoring, and using a "3-3-1 in 15 minutes" format of discussing what's working, what's not, and setting one goal.
Applied influence - Wyoming Society of CPAsDan Griffiths
This document defines leadership as the ability to influence human thought, emotion, and behavior, starting with oneself. It discusses intentional influence and identifies two key questions for leaders: what results are wanted and what behaviors will achieve those results. The document also outlines six sources of motivation and ability that influence can harness: personal motivation and ability, social/peer motivation and ability, and structural/environmental motivation and ability. It provides strategies for leaders to tap into each of these six sources to achieve their goals of intentional influence.
This is Ray Ellison's session. We’re fond of saying that leadership is the capacity to influence human thought, emotion, and behavior, starting with your own. But what is influence and how can we identify it? You’ll find that we’re much more blind than we may think when it comes to the influences that act on us each day. The real question is, how do we identify those influences and align them with our objectives? This session will explore how to begin that process.
Goal Setting & Development Planning - InfluenceDan Griffiths
It’s time to dig deep and get personal. What results do you really want? What’s your plan for getting them? This will
provide you with a unique opportunity to thoroughly vet your plans with the other bright and talented individuals in
the room. You’ll leave with a great start on your developmental plan and goals as well as clear next steps for action.
You’ve taken the assessment. What did you learn about yourself? What are your greatest areas of strength? How can you best leverage those strengths in your current role? What role might be best suited to your unique suite of strengths? Getting to know yourself is an important step. Understanding how the different strengths of each member of your team
fit together and how best to leverage their strengths in achieving team objectives is truly an art form. We’ll discuss specific ways that you can use the knowledge of your team members’ strengths to be more effective in your influence.
It’s not particularly helpful to discuss leadership in the abstract. We’re going to expect you to apply it directly to your personal leadership challenges. This session is an opportunity for you
to tap into the wisdom of your peers to help you craft an influence strategy to improve your leadership effectiveness.
