At PKF, our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to supporting their professional growth. Investing in our team is central to helping them reach the next stage in their careers.
This year, we launched two exciting 12-month programmes as part of our Rise and Lead professional development pathway.
On the 21st October, we kicked off Dare to Aspire in Auckland, bringing together leaders from across New Zealand to shift their focus from doing the work to leading the people. Over two days, participants engaged in learning through inspiring speakers, group activities, and one-on-one sessions – all designed to build essential management skills. This programme equips them with the support, tools, and accountability to lead with confidence, take ownership of their futures, and empower their clients and teams.
Our second initiative, Leadership Excellence provides our senior team members with coaching skills to enhance every interaction and support future Rise and Lead pathways. Participants have shared amazing feedback, including Christine Cacdac, an assistant manager at PKF Withers Tsang: “This programme will help me improve the way I make decisions. It’s going to help me initiate difficult conversations, effectively navigate through challenging problems and, of course, help me support my team better as I take on more responsibilities throughout my career with PKF.”
