Keystone Bank’s Post

Founded in 1845. 179 years. An amazing number on the surface- but when you take just a second to unpack that, it’s even more impressive. This Company has survived-and thrived- through: a Civil War, 2 World Wars, a Depression, recessions, pandemics, terrorist attacks, natural disasters- you name it. And no matter what the economy, the market, or the world-at-large throws their way, New York Life continues to stand a bastion of financial strength. Proud to be associated with a Company that is so financially stable, and with such a long and storied history. #newyorklife #DCrising #GWNYL #financialstrength #history

Meet Chris Ferrone, a Private Wealth Advisor at Gladstone Wealth Partners. Since joining our community, Chris has fully embraced the Gladstone ethos of partnership and community, and he's found that it truly amplifies his ability to serve his clients. In his own words, "The partnership and community you get with Gladstone help showcase an advisor’s talent by enabling them to add true value to clients.” This speaks volumes about our commitment to providing an environment that empowers advisors to thrive. Chris's journey with us has led him to ask an important question that we believe every advisor should consider: "Why would you stay at a wirehouse or delay leaving?" It's a thought-provoking question that challenges the status quo and encourages financial advisors to explore the potential of independence. If you find yourself pondering this same question and wondering how independence can benefit you and your clients, visit our website to learn how Gladstone can support you on your own journey and book a meeting to speak with a member of our leadership team. https://lnkd.in/dMr66Ggz Join us in celebrating Chris’s contributions to the Gladstone network and his commitment to adding value to his clients' lives. #GladstoneWealthPartners #WhyWouldYouStay #HybridRIA

I've been reflecting on the concept of resiliency lately, inspired by our CEO and President Susan Riel's emphasis on our team's resilience. To me, resiliency embodies the art of the possible and the potential for growth. It's about embracing vulnerability and the willingness to say "yes, I can," even when faced with uncertainty. In our organization, resiliency is fostered through teamwork. A high-functioning team not only challenges one another but also provides unwavering support. While we may not always see eye to eye, we hold each other accountable and offer support when needed. This environment encourages personal growth, fosters collaboration, and celebrates successes while safeguarding vulnerabilities. Striving to be a role model for this approach, I understand that success is not guaranteed every day. However, being part of the EagleBank team, which upholds these values, is truly rewarding. By prioritizing resiliency, we not only elevate our team but also extend our support to employees, customers, and the community. #Resilience #Teamwork #SupportiveCulture

At Robin Hood, we’re on a mission to combat poverty in NYC and empower our communities to thrive. And a crucial ally in this fight is our corporate partnerships. Imagine this: Maven Securities, a Robin Hood corporate partner, stepping up to the plate to make a real difference. Recently, they volunteered to meet with rising juniors and seniors of DREAM Charter School in the South Bronx for a career panel. But this wasn’t just any career panel – it was an opportunity for these students to gain insights into their future careers from individuals who have walked similar paths. What makes this partnership with Maven Securities so impactful? It’s about more than just financial support (though that’s certainly important). It’s about leveraging their expertise, resources, and lived experiences to create meaningful change in the lives of young people. By connecting these students with professionals, some of whom with firsthand experience of living in poverty, we’re opening doors and expanding horizons. We’re showing these young minds that no dream is too big and no obstacle is too daunting. Become a Partner today: https://lnkd.in/epspxjtZ #PartnershipsFightPoverty

Pause with me to remember September 11th On this day, we pause to remember September 11th and honor the memories of those who perished, those who survived, and the brave souls who ran into the buildings to help others. It was a day that changed our world forever, a moment that forced us to take stock of what matters most—the people we love and the people we lost. One of my fondest memories from my days at NatWest was working at One Exchange Place in Jersey City, where my cubicle had a breathtaking view of lower Manhattan across the river. I remember being in awe of that skyline, never imagining how dramatically it would change on that fateful day in 2001. September 11th brought heartache, but it also brought stories of miracles. Many people who were supposed to be in the World Trade Center that day were saved by seemingly small choices—a missed alarm, a traffic delay, or an unexpected meeting—turning ordinary inconveniences into extraordinary blessings. These stories of survival remind us that life is fragile and unpredictable, and they offer a glimmer of hope in a time of darkness. As we remember, we also honor the first responders and everyday heroes who, without hesitation, ran into danger to save others. Their courage and selflessness continue to inspire us, reminding us of the power of unity in the face of unspeakable tragedy. Today, we reflect on how 9/11 altered the course of history and our lives. But more importantly, we hold tight to the lessons of love, resilience, and the preciousness of life. We will never forget. With us always, Laura T. 🧡💚💙 #NeverForget #September11 #HonorAndRemember #30SecondSuccess #StandInYourBrand
