Terrell Turner: Build a Solid Business Showing Up as Yourself | The Disruptors: Your clients may need a lot of empathy and not just tactical advice. Plus 13 key takeaways.    The Disruptors With Liz Farr   Terrell Turner started his “journey of doing things differently” on April 1, 2020, in the midst of the pandemic. While “2020 was the reset button for everyone,” that reset offered Turner a tremendous opportunity to create a new kind of firm. “We don't have any history in doing this,” Turner recalls thinking. “So how would we do this in this new environment that we're in?”  His path to founding a firm was unusual – from public accounting to industry and back to public accounting. He credits his time in industry with providing a “really solid foundation” in connecting processes with the impact on the financial statements. “I think being able to connect those dots is something I would have never been able to do had I not worked in industry for some time,” Turner says.  THE TAKEAWAYS: Terrell Turner Disruptor Notes | MORE: Disruptors | MORE CPA TRENDLINES PODCASTS and VIDEOS:  Kelly Mann: Be the Bull in the China Shop | Alicia Katz Pollock: Create a Human-Centric Business | Nancy McClelland: Be the One Your Clients Ask First | SEE THEM ALL here. http://dlvr.it/TFcnX0

In the latest episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I had an enlightening discussion with Thomas Knoll the Primary Leader of Innov8rs.co. CoLab. Together, we explored the diverse landscapes of corporate innovation in Europe and the U.S. The contrast is stark yet profoundly enriching. Europe's deep-rooted history and culture have fostered a long-term perspective on innovation, nurturing patience and a distinct appreciation for progress over time. Across the Atlantic, the U.S.'s comparatively brief history has given rise to a dynamic, fast-paced innovation engine, powering the world’s largest economy with groundbreaking inventions and forward-thinking. But what happens when these two worlds collide? 🤝 The fusion of Europe’s historical depth with America’s inventive spirit offers untapped potential for corporate innovation. By embracing each other's strengths, businesses can unlock new dimensions of creativity and efficiency. It's not just about transferring practices from one continent to another; it’s about creating a hybrid model that leverages the best of both worlds. Our conversation shed light on the imperative of sharing knowledge and practices across borders. This exchange doesn’t just enrich our strategies; it revolutionizes them. By learning from one another, we can adapt and experiment with novel approaches, fueling innovation that is both deep-rooted and agile. As we navigate the complexities of global innovation, let's champion the power of cross-cultural collaboration. It's through this ongoing dialogue that we can transform the way innovation is perceived and implemented, making it a tangible reality beyond the confines of the boardroom. 🚀 Your thoughts? How do you see the interplay of different innovation cultures shaping the future of business? Join the conversation 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/e2HwuWbR #Innovation #Podcast
