What an incredible few days at Accountex!
There's something powerful about being in a room full of accountants and watching the whole room stop… breathe… and meditate together for three minutes. That moment on stage will stay with me for a long time.
But it wasn't just the talk. The real highlights were the conversations at the wellbeing stand with the brilliant team at Human Return Index ™️
We were speaking with practice owners and employees about whether they have a wellbeing strategy in place, and why it matters so much in our profession.
Accounting is one of the most stressful jobs out there. Most people in the industry know they're stressed but many don't yet realise it's a genuine, profession-wide problem. You are not alone in this.
What gave me real hope was seeing how wellness initiatives like mindfulness can now be measured. Human Return Index are doing incredible work showing the tangible impact of what we do and that's a game changer for getting wellbeing taken seriously at board level.
And then, on the final day, the universe delivered something unexpected, I met two other meditation teachers who are also accountants, one of them is sharing meditation in the workplace 💙
If we're going to change the culture of stress in this profession, it starts with conversations like these.
Thank you Accountex for the platform. The movement is growing. 🌱
