Several months ago, I started doing monthly recommendations for books I read or am reading or just my favorites. They have nothing really to do with taxes, bookkeeping or all the little detail things that we deal with day-to-day. It’s more about the big picture stuff like personality traits, change and general personal development. I have been very fortunate to fall upon several great mentors during my career and so I was driven to read and personally become better all the time…. I wanted to share a little bit of that side of me and this firm. Hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have a few to suggest as well! See Recommended by Gabby for previous months.

June Recommendation

So May’s recommendation, moves onto June’s doing and that always makes me worry about change! Do I have a plan? Is it any good? Oh, and how is everyone else going to respond to the changes! If you are anything like me, then change can be difficult. I was forced to read a book about change long ago in my early career days called “Who moved my Cheese?” and found out that I really enjoyed it. It was fun and it really illustrated the process of change as well as the things that cause us not to change and finally what happens if you don’t.

So June’s recommendation is the very same book! It’s light and fun, all the things that June needs to be. Soak up some rays and enjoy this fun little book.

Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life (See all Stress Management Books)

CPA’s typically are locked in their offices for the first four months of the year and then hide several weeks after as to regain some brain cells. I admit this is pretty true for me too. After 60 hour work weeks, with intensity and pressure of a time-line breathing down your neck, a brief rest is a necessary part of life.

As the season progressed, I couldn’t help but think of so many wonderful things that I wanted to do. Personally, I thought of vacation spots and time with my kids and husband and the opportunities to reconnect with my friends. Professionally, I thought about how I would connect with my clients more regularly, develop relationships with other business owners and in general, social media.

So, I recognize the fact that I defy all those CPA cliches of being all numbers, scared to connect with people and well to put it nicely, a personality-less bean counter. Everything I listed above were ways I enjoy connecting with people.

Overall, accounting is my profession but I am not a typical accountant!
