10:30: Power Story: Diane Medley – The Power of Moments
Sponsored by MCM CPAs & Advisers
Diane Medley, Executive Chairman & co-founder of MCM CPAs & Advisors, began life believing she would spend her days as a domestic farm wife in rural Kentucky. She has now been practicing public accounting for over 30 years, has led MCM through several mergers and acquisitions, making the company the largest CPA firm in the region, was the first woman in the region to become Managing Partner in a major accounting firm, and up until she transitioned to Executive Chairman, was one of only three female Managing Partners in the Top 100 firms in the U.S. Medley will share key moments from her life as she pulls from concepts found in “The Power of Comments” by the Health Brothers, which explores why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work.
