MOVE Mini-Summit Session 1: Why Your Future Leaders Feel Like They're Falling Short & What to Do About It

 
Instructor: Sarah Elliot, PCC, CPA, Co-Founder & Principal & Brian Kush, Co-Founder, Intend2Lead
 

This webinar centers around a challenge hiding in plain sight: emerging leaders who are working hard, showing up, and still walking away feeling like they're falling short — not because they lack capability, but because the expectations around them are unclear, inconsistent, or quietly unrealistic.

Drawing on years of experience coaching rising leaders in the accounting profession, this session explores what the "expectation gap" really looks like in practice, why it's so easy to miss as a leader, and how it may be impacting engagement, confidence, and retention at your firm more than you realize.

Attendees will walk away with practical strategies for identifying the gaps that hold emerging talent back and concrete ways to better support their growth, development, and mindset — so your next generation of leaders can feel more confident and be more successful.

MOVE Mini-Summit Session 2: Safeguarding Inclusive Cultures During Times of Transition

 
Instructor: Shane Lloyd, Chief Inclusion Officer, Baker Tilly
 

This webinar explores how diversity and inclusion efforts in the United States continue to evolve — shaped by shifting expectations, resistance, and renewed momentum — and what that means for leaders in the accounting profession today.

Drawing on practical frameworks and real-world strategies, this session examines how organizations can channel backlash and uncertainty into productive energy that supports more inclusive workplaces. Attendees will learn how to evaluate their own websites and communications for inclusive language and imagery, and walk away with concrete tools for recognizing and addressing potentially offensive language in ways that strengthen culture and engagement.

Whether you're navigating resistance within your firm or looking to sharpen your approach to inclusion, this session offers both the context and the practical takeaways to help you lead with confidence in a changing environment.

MOVE Mini-Summit Session 3: How Mental Load Impacts Women in the Workplace (rebroadcast)

 
Instructor: Tricia Bencich, Director, Social Impact & Sustainability, Baker Tilly
 

Belonging doesn’t happen by chance — it’s built with intention. BPM is a firm with a long commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), and now, they’re amplifying their impact to create lasting change.

In this session from Tricia Bencich, attendees will discover how BPM engages leaders in advocacy, embeds accountability at the Partner level, and expands opportunities to traditionally underrepresented groups. Join this webinar to learn how BPM leverages annual engagement survey insights, empowers its eight highly engaged Colleague Resource Groups, and how BPM takes a colleague-first approach to strategic planning. Attendees will walk away with practical and tactical strategies to equip champions at all levels of any firm to amplify their belonging quotient.
