Leadership and management consulting firm ConvergenceCoaching has announced its 2020-21 Spring Transformational Leadership Program graduating class.
The annual program hosts high-potential candidates from CPA firms who have completed ConvergenceCoaching's one-year program that helps "future leaders honestly identify their strengths and areas for improvement...and prepare to take on meaningful roles in leading and managing [their] firm," according to ConvergenceCoaching's site.
"We are especially in awe of this group of future leaders," said Jennifer Wilson, co-founder and partner at ConvergenceCoaching, in a statement. "Our graduates exemplified what it means to be strong and resilient — truly unstoppable — throughout the pandemic. All through the program we’ve been discussing the changing landscape and business model and our TLP graduates will now play a vital role in shaping a new, better way of leading and managing their firms and clients going forward. These leaders will lead the way in initiating change."
This year's class held a final remote roundtable, with each participant giving a short presentation on what they learned and what’s next for them in their careers.
"We are thrilled to recognize this group of leaders and their accomplishments throughout the TLP program," said Renee Moelders, ConvergenceCoaching partner and TLP coach, in a statement. "It is truly astounding how the TLP leaders identified ways to overcome obstacles during a highly challenging year and found their paths to success. We are proud of them for fostering a positive firm culture while also meeting the needs of their clients and colleagues. The future is bright with these leaders at the helm!"
