Devya Athwal, founder of Athwal Resourcing & Coaching, is scheduled to present two sessions at ENGAGE UK & Europe, 13–14 October in London. Athwal returned to the FM podcast to discuss the mindset shifts that help finance professionals become more resilient and adaptable in the face of uncertainty, why professionals don't need a leadership title to be strategic, and tips for improving task prioritisation when demand exceeds capacity.

"I think there's a myth that strategic thinking is only for the CEO and the top board," Athwal said. "You don't have to wait for that title to be strategic. You can start by asking better questions, stay curious, and really have the courage just to step into whatever you want to do."

Athwal spoke about how accountants can "dance with the fear" in a 2024 episode.

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • What changed Athwal's relationship with fear.
  • Five small steps that strengthen resilience and adaptability.
  • Why being overly analytical can make it harder to navigate uncertainty.
  • What skills can help finance professionals advance their careers.
  • Techniques for improving task prioritisation — including a simple, two-letter word.
