Dena Jansen, CPA, former accounting firm partner, and the Founder of Dena Speaks, joined us for a second time on this episode of Life In Accounting, the Where Accountants Go podcast.Dena’s career spans public accounting in small firms, to the “Big 4”, to then a major Austin-based regional firm.  As her career developed in the approximately 15 years she spent in the audit field, she found that it was largely the interpersonal, or people development areas that she enjoyed.  For that reason, she took the bold step of leaving her partner status in public accounting to venture out on her own and build a coaching and speaking business.  That was about where our last episode with Dena began (“Episode 75:  Dena Jansen – It’s All About People”).In this update episode though, we start with a recap of Dena’s career, but delve deeper into the topic of building trust.  Dena is a frequent continuing education speaker in the accounting profession on this very topic, plus she does private training and consulting sessions with firms.  She cites several books as sources for her research, but one book in particular that we wanted to make sure we highlighted is her own!  Since our first podcast with Dena, she has become an author and written “Road To Hope” which can be found in paper form, e-book format, and even Audible editions.  Make sure you check it out at the link above.No matter what point you are at in your own career, you will find value in this episode.For related podcast, make sure you check out these episodes as well:  Dena Jansen (the first interview) and Sarah ElliottTo listen in on this new episode with Dena Jansen, please use the player below:

The Movement to Believe in You with Dena Jansen

In this episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast,  we speak with Dena Jansen, CPA who candidly shares from her heart what she has learned as she has grown throughout her career from her first internship with Arthur Anderson to beginning her own business, which allows her to follow her dream of encouraging and inspiring others, igniting their curiosity, and arming them with confidence.Things Worth Looking ForDena started her career while still in college – she’s always worked. She graduated college and began working with a local firm who she connected with by way of one of her professors, Dr. Robert Freeman, with whom she worked as a graduate assistant. She enjoyed the government accounting and it was flexible enough to allow her to study for the CPA exam. When they left Lubbock, Dena joined Deloitte and she continued to grow. An interesting thing that she learned was that she really loves and enjoys people. She also learned that you need to find a niche early in your career, along with the importance of finding out who the other experts are. Dena will tell you that she was very fortunate to be surrounded by accomplished and supportive women who demonstrated positive ways to balance work and home life.The Partner LifeDena left Deloitte and joined Maxwell, Locke, &amp; Ritter (MLR) because she was ready for something new and different. She began serving not-for-profit clients quickly after joining the firm. She agreed to become a partner after three years and loved every minute of it. She did some soul searching before accepting the role. She talked to people and she asked many questions. She felt safe and supported by the other partners in the group and so she felt it was the right move.At MLR they believe that you should do what you are best at, so one partner’s day may look completely different from another partner’s day. Accounting is built on trust so we need to have the technical competencies established, but we must always honor that it truly is a people business. We should spend time building people and managing relationships with our teams, our clients, and new prospects.Networking for IntrovertsBuild your network one by one. Go in with a goal and meet one person. Make one quality connection at a time, and your network will grow.To connect with Dena, visit www.DenaJansen.comTo listen in on this interview with Dena Jansen, please use the player below:
