1. Complimentary Self-Assessment and Consultation
It's risky to commit to a program without knowing its value. The Reputation-to-Growth Accelerator begins with a complimentary self-assessment, audit and consultation.
- Self-Assessment: By going through a thoughtful self-assessment process, accounting leaders can figure out how satisfied they are with the current growth trajectory of their practice, and what true success actually means to them.
- Reputation-to-Growth Audit: While each leader may have his/her own impressions of their level of success, a potential buyer) may feel differently. We will review the leader's presence based on publicly available digital information.
- 45- to 60-minute Consultation: After the assessment and audit, we schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss gaps between the leader's current position and desired level of success (i.e. your North Star) with suggested next steps.
BENEFIT: Professional service leaders step away from the daily grind of short-term thinking and into the longer-term mindset of visionary planning. it's easy to keep to the road when you know where the next step is. But unless you're studying the horizon, you don't know where the road goes. This process lifts your head and helps you decide if you're going where you want to go.
