Some business wisdom picked up from people I have worked with or for: --Be demanding...but take the edge off. --Meaningful change does not occur without a significant emotional event. --A leader can recover from just about any mistake...except for lying to those who work for him/her. From an extremely successful business owner: I will go out of business doing right before I will prosper doing wrong.

Every OD starts with a #Strategy. However, if you think you have a good strategy - think again. Many times a strategy is only a wishful thinking - a trap that we all fall into! Thank you Rupert Morrison for this discussion on what is strategy and why org designing without a clear strategy is fruitless. #orgdesign #unpackingorganizations #Strategy

I had a blast talking with Jay Tambornino from Minnesota Bankers Association about how to mature your #datastrategy at your #communitybank. It's always good to share what we're seeing in the industry by those who are doing it well and those who are not. Sometimes there is value in seeing the impact to #customerexperience and #bankperformance by those who simply aren't doing anything in this space- the cost of doing nothing. Start asking the question of what you'd like to know about your performance, your peers, and your customers- there is data to help you improve and align you with more powerful strategic alignment. Check out this short high-level overview on this topic below and book an appointment with me to have conversation on what might make sense at your bank by clicking on the "Book an Appointment" link in my profile above!

🌈 Today, I had the honor of celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month with my colleagues in India. Alongside two other amazing panelists and colleagues, we shared our experiences as OUT individuals and allies. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1️⃣ Authenticity at Work: Being OUT at work is crucial for building genuine relationships and feeling fully engaged. Relationships are fundamental to being professionally successful. 2️⃣ Even allies need to come OUT: Being visible, even if it's in simple ways like adding pronouns to email signatures or putting a sticker on their laptop, go a LONG WAY to creating a sense of comfort for LGBTQ teammates. 3️⃣ Creating Safe Spaces: For many, the workplace is the safest environment to express their true selves. Allies play a vital role in providing support and acceptance, which can make a significant difference in people's lives. 📌 THE POINT IS: By building an inclusive environment, we help ensure everyone feels comfortable and can focus on crushing career goals! 📸 Photo taken in Chennai Shilpa Banerjee , Nera Schwartz #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #Inclusion #Diversity #WorkplaceCulture #Allyship #India #BankofAmerica

Credit unions are financial cooperatives. And that doesn’t just mean institution to member. It also means credit union to credit union cooperation. And when credit unions work together to bring awareness to consumers that there are better options for their banking needs, everyone wins. When it comes to workplace partnerships (SEGs), credit unions offer a critical employee benefit to those organizations with whom they partner. However, some credit unions see these SEG partnerships as “their territory”, not to be intruded on by other credit unions. This, in my opinion, is contrary to what we should be doing. When SEG employees have options and choices that best fit their needs, we as a Movement, are better for it. The focus should be on offering a strong suite of products and services, and a compelling story, that differentiates one credit union from other options. If what you’re offering is more compelling and better meets the needs of an employee than what I’m offering, then so be it. I’ll need to elevate my game. But to actively engage in efforts to withhold opportunities from that employee, to see different options and make an informed choice…well, that just feels wrong. If your credit union strategy and mindset is to mark your territory and prohibit Workplace Partner employees from having options and choices, and not embracing healthy “coopetition”, then you’re missing the point of what this Movement is all about. We’re in this together. #peoplehelpingpeople #creditunions

I am so incredibly honored to have had the opportunity to share some of my #careerjourney with iRelaunch. In this podcast, I got to share how the #support of my family and the #amazingleaders and #flexibility that I have working at Discover Financial Services, have enabled my #career #growth. I hope that folks who listen to it see that a #careerbreak can be a conscious part of building your overall #leadershiptrajectory and that folks who are #interviewing candidates with career breaks can see that time away from a traditional office role can make a candidate even stronger! #normalizingcareerbreaks #womenintech #itpaystoDiscover

Bank and Credit Union executives: have you taken a deep dive into your data to analyze and improve the profitability of your individual products? The top 10% of your products generate almost all of your margin. But the bottom 15% should be immediately revisited because you are losing money on them. Data driven insights can help drive your banking product development to improve profitability of each loan product and the fees you are charging. Want more details?
