May 15, 2025 – Join Sarah and Brian for an AICPA webinar, The Case for Curiosity: Why Curiosity is the New Leadership Superpower.

Do you struggle to understand, motivate, and engage your people? Do you have a hard time fostering ownership and accountability on your teams? Do you want to alleviate unnecessary stress, pressure, and anxiety within yourself and others?

If you said yes to any or all of these questions, you’re not alone. The accounting profession needs leaders who can embrace real curiosity to empower connection, creativity, and innovation.

During this interactive session, we will embark together on a journey to discover why and how curiosity can be your superpower. We will explore:

• What showing up as a curious leader really means and the impact it has on others
• How you can unleash this leadership superpower by starting from the inside-out

June 10, 2025 – Sarah and Brian are honored to kick off the EDGE track at AICPA’s biggest event of the year, ENGAGE 2025, with their keynote, First Year Partner: Moving Beyond Surviving to Thriving in Las Vegas, NV!!

The first year as a Partner is often the toughest transition of an entire career. Why? You’ve finally earned a place at the leadership table, but do you really know what you’re doing? You want to look like you have it all together on the outside, when in reality, you’re struggling on the inside…struggling to shift your thinking from employee to owner, from manager to leader, from complainer to change maker…all while struggling to find time for yourself amidst the ever-growing list of responsibilities and priorities as a new business owner.

When you become a Partner, the whole game changes. So, how can you not just survive this challenging first year, but actually thrive?

This session is ideal for those interested in becoming a Partner at their firm, those who have recently become a Partner at their firm, and firm leaders who want to better support their next generation of leaders through this challenging transition.
