Episode 02 – Money Jungle – How Do We Move Beyond A Finance System That Serves Only Apex Predators?
Paula Kensington
Such a wonderful opportunity to talk with Cindy Forde on this episode of her Awakenings podcast. Exploring the narratives as to how we have landed in the current systems, which is confronting history with disturbing events.
The real opportunity from here is how do we navigate a different pathway that recognises the exploitation and turns systems, metrics and language on its head. Challenging what we have come to know as the status quo and asking ourselves how do we do better in business for the benefit of all stakeholders.
From my perspective, how does the Accounting Profession and all of the financial professionals in the world stand for delivering good. Which may mean challenging the very system in which we operate, hold our business to a higher standard, one that ensures we do not continue to feed the system of exploitation.
Breathing fresh air into our balance sheets and ensuring our spreadsheets include the impacts we have on all of the stakeholders in the system in which we operate.
Huge gratitude to Cindy Forde & Jane Sydenham-Clarke and the team Foundation Nova Diem for bringing this podcast to life.
