Choose Your Peer Group Carefully | Carolyn Scissions CPA, CMA, PMP, CIA, MBA

Carolyn Scissions is the CEO of Finance Learning Lab, a company that creates and hosts finance workshops to help employees and entrepreneurs build the concepts and tools needed to operate their business. Carolyn is a graduate of University of Ottawa's B.Comm program where she majored in Accounting. Since then, she began her career with KPMG LLP. Following that, Carolyn spent many years working in the Energy sector in Calgary, Alberta where she obtained her CMA, PMP, CIA and MBA designations. 

Carolyn joined Sam to discuss her transition from the corporate world to being an entrepreneur. They examined how important it can be to take a step back from your social and financial situation to truly understand what you really want and what makes you happy; and to do so often requires "dabbling" with new ideas. 

Choosing your peer group very carefully can impact your outcomes and Carolyn made a point to mention this several times. She is a believer that a rejection from a job you want can often be a blessing and as found a way to be on her path to success.
