Professional Development

Have you led a training session that felt quiet or disengaged? Perhaps one where conversation was dominated by a few voices? There is a reason for that! In this blog post we’ll talk about how introverts may respond to training environments differently from extroverts and how an instructor can accommodate this personality style to ensure full engagement and optimal learning outcomes for their class.

Even if your role does not include direct sales, networking and business development skills are essential tools in every public accountant’s and advisor’s professional toolkit.
