“Servant leadership” isn’t just an inspiring buzzword or this week’s cool leadership trend. It’s the whole heart behind working with credit unions… Not to mention a foundational value in my personal and professional life. Servant leadership really comes down to leading by doing. When we’re willing to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty… Whether it’s with credit unions or our own families… Everyone benefits, and we see values become action.

Affirmation of the day: I operate from a place of Grace. I operate from a place of anointing. I operate from a place of knowing I am chosen for this. (E.) Season 7 of the Manager’s Development Program, let’s go! #leadership #grace #workinprogress #youngleaders #personaldevelopment #personalbranding #banking

“Financial advice often has very little to do with finance. Alpha, asset management strategies – these are table stakes. Relationships are the selling point of your business.” As FinServe Network ambassador Marco R. Williams, CFP® of JP Morgan says, the financial services industry is powered by client relationships – and getting comfortable with having personal conversations with existing and prospective clients is key to winning their trust and maintaining their business.

Looking Ahead: Setting Goals for Growth at Goldenwest Credit Union As an Assistant Manager at Goldenwest Credit Union, I’m constantly focused on both personal and team growth.

Back from Vegas... it's a great place to visit and great place to leave! 3 observations out of the CU Leadership Convention : 1 🚀 - Business Lending is being discussed at the board level. Board chairpeople - of large and small CUs - wanted to talk business lending with us. SBA lending was mentioned many times. 2 🙈 - CUs are unaware of how niche online lenders like OnDeck, AmEx/Kabbage, Kapitus, Lendio, are affecting their business members. Many were shocked to hear that their rates start at nearly 30%. 3 ⚡ - You can always learn a new leadership lesson. Enjoyed hearing Jackie Joyner-Kersee talk about her journey and perseverance, Stephen M. R. Covey about leadership (loved put service before self-interest), and even a magician (Nash Fung) talk about finding your purpose with your profession. As a remote worked, it's always great to get to know your co-workers better! Look forward to following up with many new friends I met!
