- Her Eureka moment and current work in the music industry with artists.

#001: Introduction to Strength in the Numbers

Have you ever heard the expression a rising tide lifts all ships or seen it in practice for finance professionals?
 
I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed for this podcast by Mitan Patel and I explain why this saying is one of the driving forces behind keeping the Strength in the Numbers show going. Mitan and I also discuss on today’s episode along with some other key areas such as:
• The key event that led to my last ever job application.
• The knowledge sources I draw on for supporting commercial decision making.
• The key assets we have and can leverage in Finance to create value.
• The game I often play to enhance my knowledge of an area.

I also mention on the episode I’ve had developed a free web app, currently in beta (www.avfww.com/begin) that enables you to assess your value creation potential and receive tips on how to improve the assets underpinning it.

#090: A Rising the Tide to Lift All Finance Professionals with Andrew Codd

The #SITN Show (www.sitnshow.com) is a popular accounting & finance podcast listened to in over 150+ countries around the world.

Getting an accounting qualification or finance certification is one of the best things to do to make a difference in our society. It potentially gives us a position from which we can help businesses make better decisions for the good of their customers, suppliers, communities, colleagues and yes owners and other financiers too. We can help increase the opportunity for all. So #SITN was established to leverage the value of mentoring:

1. To elevate the influence, impact, value, and difference we make for our organisations; and
2. To have more fun, rewarding, and meaningful careers in accounting & finance.

In this way we make it more accessible to everyone in our profession, regardless or geography, professional affiliations, status, gender, etc…

The fundamental premise of #SITN is that despite for all the challenges our profession is facing into, the seemingly accelerating rate of change, the new digital technologies and business models, we still have the ability to share with each other practical advice & experiences on what works well and what doesn’t, so that we can all plot better paths forward.

Every Thursday we release a professionally produced podcast with a 30- to 40-minute interview that has been recorded with a guest mentor relevant to the finance & accounting profession. These guest mentors share their real success stories and hard-won lessons which are not found in any textbooks or on LinkedIn profiles. Together with the interviewer they deconstruct their experiences into the key strengths, qualities and practical ‘baby’ steps that others can also follow. On Mondays there is the popular #SITN Monday Memo which is a 5-minute debrief on a topical issue or useful piece of practical advice in accounting & finance.

The show is accessible via: iTunes; Stitcher; Spotify; YouTube; and Soundcloud, with detailed time-stamped show notes, key quotes, resources & ways to connect with guest mentors at www.sitnshow.com.
