29 JAN 2020 · On this episode of the Balance Boldly Podcast with Naketa R. Thigpen, there was an urgency to speak to someone with a mind to not only do good work, but someone who does that work with both high integrity and a full sense of self. All too often, great people with good intentions, show up to their work with only half of themselves. Often feeling like they need to hide portions of themselves for fear that the clients or even teammates simply wouldn’t understand them. Perhaps they’d even judge them for being so enthusiastic, optimistic, or upbeat. Not this guest! Our featured expert this week is Kirsten M. Toler, a Tax Senior Manager with Friedman LLP. She has over 25 years of combined experience effectively balanced between public accounting and private industry, focused mainly on client service and tax. Kirsten is also energetic, informative, and true to her core. Kirsten takes us inside her journey with a look at a unique professional career path that led her to incorporate her passion for understanding and strengthening emotional intelligence. Her intention to bring her full self to work and avoid exhausting herself with over compartmentalizing her gifts, helped to decrease the stress that goes with the joys of mothering teenagers and being a doting wife on top of her full investment in clients at work. Tune in and hear how to stay true to your core and maximize your potential! More about Kirsten Kirsten has a diverse background and is known by some as a Rockstar CPA and Strategist. When she’s not spending her time working with clients, loving on her husband, children, and family; Kirsten makes room to speak at the Girl’s Career Institute, as a Mentor on the Gail Bierbaum Rider Women’s Leadership Council, and Subject Matter Expert Panelist for UBS ‘Monetizing Your Life’s Work’ program.
