Owning Your Leadership: Building Extraordinary Relationships Beginning With Self

In today’s demanding climate, practice leaders are intensely focused on business strategies, decision-making and results. However, minimal time is spent on self-management – the skills and strategies that anchor personal and professional growth. As leaders, it’s imperative to develop ‘self’ in order to effectively influence team members and peers and effectuate real change within your firm.

At the invitation of CPA.com, John Engels, Founder and President of Leadership Coaching, Inc., developed a seven-part on demand series: Owning Your Leadership: Building Extraordinary Relationships Beginning With Self. John has over 3 decades of experience as a leadership thinker and coach to top-level leaders of businesses and professional firms. John offers a deeper perspective on often unexamined issues that influence how leaders think and behave. This self-study, seven part program provides accounting professionals with a deeper understanding of the leadership and relationship skills they’ll need to be an effective leader from any position within a firm. It starts with managing self. Topics covered include:

Session 1 – Understanding the landscape of leadership (CPE Credit 2.0)

Session 2 – How to promote responsibility as well as maturity within the firm culture (CPE Credit 1.0)

Session 3 – Self-definition and the power of the “l” position (CPE Credit 1.0)

Session 4 – Connecting while cultivating strong relationships inside and outside the firm (CPE Credit 1.0)

Session 5 – How to build confidence and initiative as an aspiring leader (CPE Credit 1.0)

Session 6 – How to manage discomfort and fear while holding everyone accountable (CPE Credit 1.0)

Session 7 – Succession coaching and the “how to” for developing both your existing and emerging leaders (CPE Credit 1.0)

Course includes integrated text and study guide, final exam and grading service.

If you are taking this course for CPE credit, you must pass the course exam with a score of at least 70%. After passing the exam, you will be issued a Certificate of Completion by CPA.COM.

“By virtue of an alternate lens that brings honest self-awareness and personal accountability into focus, the program builds ability to connect and communicate with peers, team members and family. John has a unique ability to connect with people and while he guides participants on a not necessarily a comfortable journey, it is an extremely rewarding process both personally and professionally.”
