"Maybe I never will change the whole world. But every day, I can change my world."

Those are the words of profession leader Lindsay Stevenson, CPA, CGMA. She's back on the JofA podcast, this time in person from her house in South Dakota. Stevenson discussed technology adoption, how her firm approaches remote work, and why keeping a journal at least for part of the year is important to her.

Stevenson, chief transformation officer at the firm BPM, also addressed how she views fear as it relates to career moves — and how she thought about that differently in a 2019 conversation.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • The reason her firm has geographical regions and a virtual region.
  • Why unplugging is difficult but necessary for Stevenson.
  • Why she likes an at-home vacation more than a big trip.
  • Her approach to overcoming fear and how that approach has changed in the past six years.
  • AI: its danger, its potential, and how she is using it.
  • The gratitude-based journaling practice she recommends.
