Bonus Episode 68: Closing the Year Strong: Planning, Budgeting, Professional Development and Self-Care Tips for Finance Leaders

Are you ready to end the year on a high note and kick off the next one with renewed vigor and clarity? Join me in this bonus episode of The Finance Leader Podcast as we delve into key activities to focus on as the year draws to a close: from prepping for year-end close and getting the 2024 budget approved, to planning for your Continuing Professional Education (CPE) and setting goals for the upcoming year. But it's not all work, work, work. A crucial part of maintaining a healthy work-life balance is taking time off for self-care and relaxation. We'll be discussing the importance of scheduling some well-deserved downtime and how it can positively impact your productivity and overall wellbeing. Whether you're a finance professional seeking guidance on end-of-year activities or just someone seeking to improve their leadership skills, this episode offers something for everyone. So tune in and let's make the most of what we've got left of the year together! Please connect with me on:1. Instagram: stephen.mclain2. Twitter: smclainiii3. Facebook: stephenmclainconsultant4.
