In the concrete jungle, there are seasons of rain and plenty, followed by seasons of drought and scarcity. Whether or not we survive depends on how prepared we are for these changes, and how willing we are to evolve in order to remain relevant. Leaders who ignore the shifting seasons will soon find themselves and their firms fading into obscurity.

Whether we shy away from it or actively seek it out, change is never easy. In these rapidly changing times, surviving means stepping away from the herd and venturing out onto the road less traveled. It means sharpening your claws and taking a bird’s eye view of where your business is at, and learning and evolving during the times of plenty before the season of drought and hunger returns. This may mean taking down predators, it may mean diversifying or specializing, and it may even mean seeking out new hunting grounds. Whatever it is, the secret is never to lose hope.

Join us on an African safari as Gary Sturisky, a world-renowned transformation consultant, takes you on a journey through the vast open plains of the Serengeti and down the narrow corridors of the concrete jungle to uncover practical tools to help your company evolve into the CPA firm of the future.

Why not Annapurna or Machu Pichu? Why always the 'same old' Camino? A question carried with an almost sigh, a question often asked of Sharon. Many learners seek a teacher to support and stretch them in their learning, and for Sharon, there is no fiercer or more forthright teacher than the Camino de Santiago.

A teacher that calls its learners to walk lightly in their judgements, opinions, and assumptions, yet firmly in their flexibility, curiosity, and wonder, while stepping the practical path between Saint Jean Pied de Port and Santiago de Compostela. A teacher that calls some learners once - or maybe twice - in their lifetime, while repeatedly sounding the call to others.

Journey with Sharon, on this, her ninth Camino, into her stories of struggle, sweetness, significance, and soul. Stories she tells through a series of imagined letters written to very real people whom she encountered along 'The Way'. Stories as much about them and the path as about her, and the journey into what it means to be human, in all its imperfection, improbability, mystery, and magic.
