Deloitte University’s Post

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆-𝘁𝗼-𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆  This week I've had the privilege of attending a development course at our brand-new Deloitte University EMEA. This course stands out as a transformative one. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨? 💚 New relationships. It was amazing to see the level of openness and trust. And I was surprised by the huge ground of commonalities across geos and businesses. 🧘♀️ The right balance. Reflecting on my average week, it was shocking to visualize how much time and energy I spend on getting operational stuff done versus personal development ✨Dig deep. It was fascinating to experience how our physiology impacts our performance - and how we can learn to influence our emotions and feelings and thus our performance 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙄 𝙙𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮? 🚩Continue to get more clarity on my purpose and vision (feels a bit strange to say this at my age, yet still some work to do) 📚 Start journalling as a means to become more aware and literate about my emotions (one day in the books, let's see how it goes) 🧠 Experiment with my heart variability monitor and learn how it affects my brain functionality and performance (the science lover in me is speaking) #lifelonglearning #personaldevelopment #selfreflection #selfawareness #leadership #deloitte #deloitteuniversity

Since getting promoted to Manager at Deloitte, I frankly have not taken enough time to step back and soak in both the accomplishment and the transition that comes from leveling up. I spent the first half of this week at Deloitte University in TX for the Global Manager Milestone Program and I finally got the time to step back, reflect and wrap my arms around the responsibility of being a people leader at a company like Deloitte. From live ‘leadership skills lab’ with Manager peers from across the Green Dot to many moments of connection and learning from their experiences and perspectives, my cup is full. Deloitte recently coined ‘Moments that Matter’ as a way to give team members concrete and practical ways to execute against Deloitte’s strategy and a few of these moments really came to life for me this week at DU: 1. Own it - reflecting on some of the best leaders I’ve had in the past made me realize that it is so impactful to ‘go to bat’ for your people; more importantly, the leaders I admire both share the recognition when the team is successful and also own the team’s mistakes, recognizing that accountability falls on their shoulders to support, guide and coach the team. 2. Walk in their Shoes - trust can be built by taking yourself ‘out of your own shoes’ and doing your best to understand a client, a partner, a leader’s POV. Building trust is absolutely critical in a context where so many of our workplace experiences and interactions are digitally driven and it is easy to disconnect the human from the equation.  3. Up their Game - feedback, when done well, can be such a gift. As a people leader, I must strategically invest time in helping my team members up their game. Can’t wait to bring these learnings to life as I return back!

An incredible event with fabulous speakers with such varied & interesting perspectives around change. There were so many practical strategies & tips to take away that we've collated these, so if you'd like a copy of the "Transitions Toolkit" to help you thrive through change please drop a note to the IBC team on the post below & one will be sent to you. #womenininsurance #IBCAlumni #professionaldevelopment

Everyday on LinkedIn, I see and read updates about people getting promoted, which is a good thing. But behind all these promotions are also people not getting promoted. And a few years ago that was me. I got declined for my promotion to Manager at Deloitte. The main reason: lack of visibility. It felt unfair for a while. I thought to myself, “I did everything right but didn’t get enough facetime with leadership” Eventually I realized I could either stay bitter or get better. So I made it a priority to get greater visibility. Here’s what I did: 1/ I spoke up more about my impact and also my challenges 2/ I asked for time on all hands calls to present on critical topics 3/ I shared async updates with leaders that I didn’t interact with as much 4/ I elevated others that weren’t getting visibility And eventually I earned the promotion. While I had to wait an extra 6 months to get there, the wait was worth it and I'm grateful that I had a coach that supported me along the way. I used those extra 6 months to develop my skills, make an impact, and learn this important lesson which will last the rest of my career. Now as a leader, I understand the importance of visibility. For anyone to grow into a leadership role, you need followership. And it’s very difficult to earn followership without outwardly advocating for yourself and being seen by your colleagues. While you might feel like you’re bragging about yourself, you’re actually just giving your leaders and peers a better understanding of who you are. And by doing so, you'll get more opportunities than the person who chooses to not to get visibility. Leaders have a responsibility to advocate for their team, but it certainly helps when the entire onus isn’t placed on them. If you’re a leader, try using this thought process to explain the importance of visibility to your team. If you’re working on becoming a leader, start getting yourself greater visibility and make it easier for your leader to advocate for you. #promotions #visibility #growth

Participating in KPMG's leadership program prompted me to consider my impact within the firm. Today, I'll explore the significance of the letter M in KPMG, which represents "Meaning."💡 Ever wonder if there's more to our jobs than just going through the motions? Yeah, me too. Working at KPMG lets me dive into that quest for deeper meaning. Here's how I try to bring some soul into what I do: 👉🏽Keeping it Real: I'm big on building genuine connections. Whether it's with co-workers or clients, understanding what drives them helps us all feel like we're part of something important. 🚀Thinking Outside the Box: Innovation comes from shaking things up. I'm all about finding fresh ways to tackle problems and spark creativity. 💪🏽Staying True: Our values aren't just words on a wall. Integrity, empathy, accountability – they're the real deal. I'm here to make sure we live up to them every day. In a world where meaning matters more than ever, I'm proud to be part of making it happen here at KPMG. Let's keep the momentum going, both in our work and beyond.🌎🌸 #MeaningfulWork #PurposeDriven #MakingADifference #KPMGIsrael What do you think? How can we make our work even more meaningful? Let's chat and see where our ideas take us! 🌱

How do you handle career transitions? Change is something we will all face at some point; whether it's a promotion, moving into a new role, taking on leadership responsibility or facing external changes such as parenthood or caring responsibilities. Inspired by the amazing Deloitte "CEO Transition Lab" concept this event welcomed a panel of incredible leaders in Oyin Heath, Helen Evans & Sheila Cameron who shared their varied experiences, insights & lots of practical tips for navigating transitions with ease. The audience had a huge amount of experience to add too, so we captured their insights too to create "Transition toolkits" - these summaries of strategies, tips & inspiration will help anyone to thrive in their professional journey. As always, huge thanks to our sponsors Deloitte & especially Neslihan Dogan for opening the session, for bringing the best of Deloitte & for making it such a huge success.

In our corporate lives, many people come and go. Colleagues. Vendors. And yes, even consultants. I have had the pleasure of working with many consulting firms- the best of the best, the Super Bowl teams, the leaders every business goes to. BCG. A&M. McKinsey. You name it. I’ve always met some amazing people. Leaders. Partners. I always leave a project learning something and feeling as if these interactions have made an impact. So while having a rooftop drink in St.Louis, seeing the KPMG building- it didn’t remind me of work. It reminded me of people. The people who came in for a brief moment, just long enough to make a lasting impression. Alessandra Domingos Vieira - cheers to you and your KPMG team! We here First Student loved partnering with you and are thankful for the kindness you placed in everything you touched. Partnerships are about PEOPLE. We should act in such a way that when somebody sees our company name on a building, they smile and think of the people, not the work. #partnerships #consulting #peopleandculture

This week I had the honour and pleasure of joining a group of my peers at Deloitte University for the Director Milestone Program. Our amazing faculty helped guide us thorough conversations to better understand how to be successful in our new, elevated roles. A few key takeaways: 1. You are not alone – while each of us has a unique role, there are many similarities that we share and we can, and should, continue to lean on one another to be successful. 2. Be forthright about how you are evolving your capability – articulating your aspirations and expectations for yourself in role can have direct business and team impacts. 3. Memorable quotes: As a leader, “How can we follow you when you are following us?”; For our clients, “Don’t be a solution looking for a problem”. I'm excited to put these learnings into practice and continue to live my #OnlyatDeloitte experience!
