How I want you to see your studying

Every semester, every year, I counsel students on how they should study. They always want the ‘secret to success’ for their studies… well… here it is…

Work through the picture slowly… think about each step… follow the numbering (it is a little chaotic!)

Take a look at an excerpt from a coaching session I had with a postgraduate accounting student. We chatted about the comfort zone we feel that theory gives us

In this excerpt, Toby was referring to 'box jobs' as part of his training... we have very different feelings about those box jobs! The point, however, is while we're looking forward to what we need to teach students in the future, it inevitably means that we will 'lose' some things. Another example he uses is the ability to 'think' in debits and credits (See full podcast episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2hjbtURLmx37fFVJ9y7tad?si=50m2jVWfRqaJJItAihV5lg)

Chipo and I connected a while back on LinkedIn and we ran into eachother at the British Accounting & Finance Association Accounting Education Academic Conference in May 2026 in Sheffield, UK. As we chatted, I realised that I really wanted students who are struggling to hear some of our discussions, so, I dragged Chipo into a room and we recorded a chat for you. (Ok, I didn't drag her... but I was pretty insistent!). The result? A great conversation for people who feel like they're facing a wall, who worry that 'this' is as far as they'll ever get. Who may worry that they're not smart enough. And thanks so much to Chipo for giving up your time!
