Where do we go from here? Career advice for high performers

Donny Shimamoto, CPA/CITP, CGMA, the founder and managing director of Intraprise TechKnowlogies LLC, recently co-hosted a conference session on feedback – specifically, how high performing employees sometimes get a low amount of valuable feedback.

Such high performers can have their development halted if they fail to seek out the right feedback to advance in their careers, Shimamoto said.

Shimamoto also reflected on the recently completed AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE, highlighting the words of Carla McCall, CPA, CGMA, the AICPA vice chair, about asking for help.
