DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nWhat does a fourth-generation New Zealander\, raised in a small city\, with a Singaporean-Chinese mum\, a law degree\, a CA qualification\, and an Irish husband have in common with the Italian government\, a 2\,000-person community in Greenwich\, and a global mission to attract foreign investment? \nMeet Aster Thackery. In this episode of Difference Makers Discuss\, host Sinéad Donovan sits down with one of the most refreshingly non-linear careers you’ll encounter in our profession. Aster is a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand\, currently serving as Chair of the CA ANZ UK Regional Council — and by day\, she works with the Italian Trade Agency\, helping international businesses understand the investment landscape in Italy. Oh\, and she’s also built one of the most vibrant parent communities in southeast London. Essentially from scratch. \nThe Chartered Accountancy Qualification That Opened Every Door\nAster studied both law and accounting\, but it was the Chartered Accountancy qualification that made all the difference when she arrived in London on a working visa. Recruiters\, employers\, boardrooms — the accounting credential was the one that got her the interviews and\, ultimately\, the opportunities. It led her to a role as lead finance specialist with what was then UK Trade and Investment\, sending her around the world to talk to businesses about the UK’s investment landscape. From there\, a similar role — but this time for Italy. \nIt’s a reminder that a Chartered Accountancy qualification doesn’t just open the door to a career in accountancy. It opens doors\, full stop. \nKey Takeaways from the Episode\n\nCultural awareness is a genuine professional advantage.\nAster recommends The Culture Map by Erin Meyer as essential reading for anyone working internationally\, noting it helped her understand the significant difference between how New Zealanders (direct\, egalitarian) and Italians (hierarchical\, nuanced) operate in professional settings. A small awareness shift that made a big difference.\nYour Chartered Accountant gives you confidence in rooms that feel daunting.\nWalking into a conference room full of senior business leaders as a young woman? That can feel like a lot. But the Chartered Accountancy qualification acts as a kind of professional anchor – a visible signal of credibility.\nCommunity is one of the most powerful things you can build.\nFive years ago\, Aster moved to Greenwich\, knew nobody\, and was pregnant with her second child. She started a small coffee meetup for local parents. That meetup now has over 2\,000 active members. It’s incorporated as a social enterprise\, and has empowered other women in the community to launch their own initiatives. What started as a simple human impulse — I don’t know anyone\, let me find some people — became something much more substantial. A reminder that the most meaningful things often don’t begin with a grand plan.\nPeople want a village — but they don’t want to be a villager.\nMany people lament the loss of community while simultaneously being unwilling to contribute to building one. Her push-back is gentle but firm: if you want the village\, you have to show up for it.\nDone is better than perfect.\nAster credits much of her ability to juggle a demanding international career\, a voluntary leadership role with CA ANZ\, and a thriving community project (alongside being a mum of two) to one simple mindset shift: knowing when good enough is good enough.\nNever drop your other interests — they all compound.\nEach year\, Aster deliberately learns something completely unrelated to her professional field. A pottery class. A certified advisory board chair course. Her reason: it keeps her brain thinking in different ways\, and you never know when those lateral skills will become relevant.\nSelf-reflection is where it all starts.\nUnderstanding who you are\, what your values are\, and what direction of travel makes sense for you.\n\nWhy Watch This Episode?\nThis is a conversation about what it looks like when you allow your career to be genuinely\, authentically yours\, even when that looks nothing like the path people expected you to take. Aster is funny\, self-aware\, and wonderfully honest about the bits she found hard: the cultural hiccups\, the shift from independent free spirit to co-parenting life\, the slow realisation that connecting people might actually be her greatest skill. \nFor anyone who has ever wondered whether a Chartered Accountancy qualification can support a career that doesn’t look like a traditional one\, this episode is your answer. It absolutely can. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nReserve your spot – It’s free\n[/vc_column_text]\n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n \n CompanyThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n I am a*\n \n Chartered Accountant Member\n \n \n Chartered Accountant student/trainee\n \n \n OYW Ambassador\n \n \n None of the above\n Select Your Chartered Accountancy Institute*Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ)Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI)Chartered Institute of Accountants in Malawi (ICAM)Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountants (IAI)Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA)The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Namibia (CA Namibia)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe (ICAZ)The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA)Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA)OtherOther - Please name your institute*Privacy Policy*\n \n I accept that the data I provide is used according to Chartered Accountants Worldwide Privacy Policy\n Newsletter\n \n I would like to receive the Chartered Accountants Worldwide email newsletter.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n[/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://charteredaccountantsworldwide.com/event/aster-thackery/ LOCATION:Online Event CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://charteredaccountantsworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Aster_Title_Promo_1920x1080.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Chartered Accountants Worldwide":MAILTO:info@charteredaccountantsworldwide.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260528T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260528T183000 DTSTAMP:20260504T102805 CREATED:20260316T114115Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T121526Z UID:435981-1779991200-1779993000@charteredaccountantsworldwide.com SUMMARY:Difference Makers Discuss -Kingsley Aikins\, Good work doesn't speak for itself... But you can! DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nHave you ever been told to keep your head down\, work hard\, and let your good work speak for itself? It sounds like solid advice. It’s also\, according to Kingsley Aikins\, pretty much the worst career guidance you can get. \nIn this episode of Difference Makers Discuss\, host Sinéad Donovan sits down with Kingsley Aikins\, author of Networking Matters (published by Chartered Accountants Ireland)\, founder of the iconic Lansdowne Club in Sydney\, and the man who spent 21 years building one of the world’s great philanthropic networks for Ireland. The conversation is warm\, honest\, and packed with practical wisdom that will make you rethink how you approach your career and your connections. \nFrom Rugby Pitches to the Waldorf Astoria\nKingsley’s story is a masterclass in the unexpected power of relationships. From playing rugby for Leinster to landing in Sydney not knowing a single soul\, to running a dinner for 12 people that became the largest Irish business network in any city in the world — his journey is proof that putting yourself out there\, even imperfectly\, changes everything. \nHe even wrote a cold letter to Tony O’Reilly — one of Ireland’s most powerful business figures at the time — and was invited to lunch. That lunch turned into a 21-year career running the Ireland Funds\, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for projects across the island of Ireland. Not bad for ‘just’ networking. \nKey Takeaways from the Episode\n\nGood work doesn’t speak. People do.\nGood work doesn’t speak – other people speak. If nobody knows how you’re contributing to your organisation or your profession\, they move on to someone else. That’s not pessimism – it’s just how the world works.\nThe two most important words in your career: Other People.\nYou’ll never get a job unless other people agree to it. You’ll never win a client unless other people agree to it. Your career is fundamentally a relationship business and yet schools and colleges almost never teach us how to nurture those relationships.\nNetworking is about giving\, not getting.\nApproaching networking as a transaction – What can I get? – is obvious and off-putting. The real approach is simpler: How can I help?\nIntroverts can be better networkers than extroverts.\nThis one surprises people every time. But Kingsley’s argument is compelling: introverts ask better questions\, listen more genuinely\, and engage with decency and authenticity.\nHard skills get you on the ladder. Soft skills get you up it.\nThis is a theme that will resonate with anyone in the profession. Technical skills are essential – they get you in the door. But the things that drive careers forward: listening\, curiosity\, communication\, resilience\, humour – these are harder to quantify and almost never formally taught.\nYou can make your own luck.\nLuck and serendipity don’t happen sitting at your desk. They happen when you’re in motion\, when you talk to strangers\, when you put your talents on display.\n\nWhy Watch This Episode?\nWhether you’ve always been uncomfortable at networking events\, or you’ve been doing it for years on autopilot\, this conversation with Kingsley Aikins will give you a completely fresh way of thinking about it. It’s funny\, it’s grounded in real experience\, and it’s full of genuinely actionable ideas. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nReserve your spot – It’s free\n[/vc_column_text]\n \n \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n \n CommentsThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n \n Enter Email\n \n \n \n Confirm Email\n \n \n I am a*\n \n Chartered Accountant Member\n \n \n Chartered Accountant student/trainee\n \n \n OYW Ambassador\n \n \n None of the above\n Select Your Chartered Accountancy Institute*Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ)Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI)Chartered Institute of Accountants in Malawi (ICAM)Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountants (IAI)Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA)The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Namibia (CA Namibia)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka)The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe (ICAZ)The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA)Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA)OtherOther - Please name your institute*Privacy Policy*\n \n I accept that the data I provide is used according to Chartered Accountants Worldwide Privacy Policy\n Newsletter\n \n I would like to receive the Chartered Accountants Worldwide email newsletter.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n[/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://charteredaccountantsworldwide.com/event/kingsley-aikins/ LOCATION:Online Event CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://charteredaccountantsworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Kingsley_Title_Promo_1920x1080-2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Chartered Accountants Worldwide":MAILTO:info@charteredaccountantsworldwide.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260701 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260702 DTSTAMP:20260504T102805 CREATED:20251217T115618Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251217T115838Z UID:435834-1782864000-1782950399@charteredaccountantsworldwide.com SUMMARY:ISCA Global Talent Programme (GTP) 2026 - Applications Open DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nRiding on the success of the second edition in July 2025 with more than 1\,500 applications received\, we are delighted to announce that application for GTP 2026 is now open! \nThe GTP is an exclusive\, fully sponsored business immersion programme for university undergraduates to experience the dynamic Singapore business landscape and explore diverse accountancy career pathways. \nWe would like to invite university undergraduates from any discipline to be part of this transformative experience in Singapore and hope to seek your support in sharing this programme with your community. \nThe GTP is designed as an immersive overseas learning and networking opportunity\, structured around four key pillars: \n\nBuilding valuable connections with industry professionals: Participants will engage in close group settings with C-Suite leaders and network with experienced stakeholders from Singapore’s top organisations.\nUnlocking new perspectives through exclusive corporate visits: Gain unique insights into the dynamic business landscape through behind-the-scenes access to Singapore corporations\, accounting firms and government agencies.\nTackle real-world business challenges in out of classroom settings: Apply strategic skills by tackling live problem statements with guidance from industry mentors.\nEngage in cross-cultural exchanges with peers: Participants will live\, learn and foster invaluable friendships and professional connections with a global cohort of undergraduates from around the world.\n\nSubmit application here: https://www.isca.org.sg/GTP/isca-gtp-application \nFor more details: https://isca.org.sg/GTP \n  \nSupport from ISCA\n\nExpenses covered by ISCA includes workshops\, flight\, accommodation and meals\nLetter of support for VISA application for participants\n\nTimeline\n\nSubmit your application by 31 January 2026\nShortlisted candidates will be contacted for interview by March 2026\nAnnouncement of finalists by May 2026\nCommencement of programme in Singapore in July 2026 (date to be announced)\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://charteredaccountantsworldwide.com/event/isca-global-talent-programme-gtp-2026-applications-open/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://charteredaccountantsworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/ISCA-gloibal-tallent-2026.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="ISCA":MAILTO:isca@isca.org.sg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
