I'm passionate about making a difference in increasing the quality of life and survivorship for all affected by lung cancer, having lost my mother and grandmother to this terrible disease.
Different perspectives, experiences, and insights improve decision-making and lead to superior performance.
Sponsorship is about putting your name and reputation on the line for someone else. It could be as simple as recommending someone for a new role, yet it's one of the most powerful cultural tools any organization has.
When women are starting out in their careers, they tend to be confident and look to aspire to leadership role and really want those positions. But then over time, as they advance, they become less confident and don't think they can attain those roles.
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship provides a fantastic platform for us to demonstrate our commitment to elevating women in business and the sport of golf through the Championship, KPMG Women's Leadership Summit, and KPMG Future Leaders Program.
KPMG is committed to the highest standards of professionalism, , and quality, and we are dedicated to the capital markets we serve.
If you truly want to innovate, there will be some failures, and this can be difficult for some organizations - especially public companies managing quarterly earnings.
The most resilient companies foster a pervasive culture of innovation at all levels of the organization - one that values risk-taking, embraces experimentation and considers failure an inevitable part of thinking boldly.
The best leaders begin with an environment that embraces and rewards change and innovation.
Culture is nourished by human motivation - a limitless resource that can sometimes be underestimated.
Cultivating innovative thinking starts at the top. Leaders can foster a culture of innovation by encouraging creativity and experimenting with new ideas.
If you're open and honest, you find that people genuinely want to help you out. Taking advice from others can enhance your relationship, especially if you can laugh about things.
I started playing golf when I was just out of college and starting my career with KPMG. I took a few lessons, and my husband has always loved to give me pointers - for better and for worse! I realized that you could really enhance relationships by being on the course with clients. In fact, my very first golf game was with some clients.
Providing career growth and development opportunities for our people is of paramount importance, and that's why we surround and support our diverse employee team with investments in innovation, technology, training, and a wide variety of programs so they can build great careers. 'Fortune' saw that in KPMG, and we're delighted.
As part of KPMG, Cynergy's people and processes can help clients leverage digital and mobile technologies to transform existing customer engagement and employee mobile enablement into seamless experiences for end users across multiple platforms and devices.
Don't wait for someone to tap you on the shoulder. Make your goals known and proactively develop relationships with those that can help get you there either in the form of mentors or sponsors.
Golf isn't one of the things I'm best at. You're in a situation where you're vulnerable when you're not a good player. But what I've found is that those are the times that you can build the most lasting relationships.
I think there's a tendency with some women especially to internalize and think, 'I have to be perfect at everything before I'm going to put myself out there.' We've got to change that mindset. And I think it starts with confidence.
Too often, women are waiting for someone to recognise their great work and tap them on the shoulder and say, 'Here - this is the next thing we want you to do,' and that may happen. But I feel you need to take more ownership of telling your story, advocating for yourself. You can do it in a way that's positive and that your leaders will appreciate.
My personality is to want to be the best at everything.
