A Human Becoming – and a Leader Too
Kirk Weisler

The truly great leaders, like the truly great organizations never arrive at destination “excellence.” Rather it is something they continuously strive for. Greatness is not some place you go to, it's some place you grow to. This keynote/session will explore the power and potential of personal and institutional growth, how they are connected, affected and how adopting the mindset of the “Human Becoming” is the best ways to increase engagement, improve workplace culture, and keep yourself and your team refreshed, resilient and ready to take on any change or challenge. Come join us and be “Becoming.”

Few times in our nation's history have we encountered economic challenges like we face today. What we all seek is information that will help prepare, enlighten and guide us as we look forward to the coming years. What's the outlook for the economy and credit unions for the next year? How long and deep will the economic slowdown be, and how will it affect credit unions as a whole and the role HR and training professionals? What are the best economic indicators to focus on to get a sense of “where were at” moving forward?
“Heading Towards Virtual”: The Concept Of Personal Bankers
Tony Ward Smith
President, Ward & Company: Performance Counsel to Credit Unions
How soon before your credit union closes down most (if not all) of its branches and “goes totally virtual”?
Never happen, you say? Don't be so sure. The direction consumer banking is taking suggests this consideration as both a realistic survival strategy and a market-growth opportunity. But whether you're eager for it to happen soon, or don't imagine anything of the sort in the foreseeable future, the one operational dimension it calls for that will pay off for all credit unions— now, and well into the future— is that of “Personal Banker.” Yes, we're talking about your tellers, your MSRs, your loan officers…ALL your member-contact employees. We're talking about adjusting the perceptions of the very core of your entire operation. And we're suggesting that it is time to instigate some new internal strategies, new organizational arrangements, new training practices and new performance dimensions at your credit union. No, it's not a radical idea. It is already tried and true. And, rather than calling for a total, all-out internal culture shift, it really only requires a formalization of many of the practices and inclinations that are already alive and functioning effectively within your organization. Yet the payoff may well be the greatest strategic gain you can make in fulfilling the base intention of your credit union— Helping Your Members Improve Their Personal Financial Circumstance!
