How do you as a leader or manager of an accounting firm connect in a deeper, more meaningful way with your team? How do you ensure that this connection has a positive impact on the way in which team members behave and on their motivation, their drive and their willingness to see your firm succeed? How will this influence the amount and quality of the work they do and the level of care they show for that work?

There’s also a question to be addressed regarding how you connect in a deeper way with your clients, so that they want to work with you more often and take more action based on the insights, guidance and advice you can share with them.

In my conversation with Karen Eber, you'll hear about the importance of the power of stories in connecting in a deep and emotional way with your team, and in a deep and emotional way with your clients, so that you get the results you and your firm deserve.

Karen talks about how there is power in both data and stories, but connecting data – the numbers – with stories results in greater power and a deeper connection that will make a positive difference to every meeting you have with team members, either one-on-one or as a group, as well as every meeting you have with clients.

So why not join Karen and I on this HumaniseTheNumbers.online podcast, or go to your favourite podcast platform – Apple, Spotify, Google – and hunt out the podcast discussion with Karen Eber.

2. In this brilliant and insightful podcast with Karen Eber of Eber Leadership Group, you will hear Karen talk about the importance of stories in all aspects of both personal and business life. Karen is fascinated by the science behind the brain's reaction to a well-told story and how it connects with its target audience. She believes the brain is inherently lazy, which is why, when presented in a business meeting with a series of numbers or data, you read it, hear it, comprehend it and then forget about it, because you are not engaged. Stories are generally more engaging and provide an opportunity for an emotional connection with your audience. Hear about Karen’s passion for stories and the difference they can make to your firm here:
