Years ago when the BIG banks were buying up the little banks I was working a lot in that sector. One day I got a call from a small bank in the Midwest that had been taken over by a bank twice its size. I thought they were calling to ask about a…
You either define the moment, or the moment defines you. In the past several months I’ll bet we’ve all had quite a few “Defining Moments.” Each time we define a new moment, a new way forward, it’s necessary to let go of an old belief system and replace it with one that is more…
