What a $4.6B Credit Union's Growth Officer Actually Worries About

Wow.

Wow, Whitney, that's an incredible story.

And I think sometimes at least you hear that adversity yields remarkable kind of just new ways of working and looking at things.

So I'm curious, like through all of that, that hardship and the challenges you faced, how has that changed the way you think and operate in this space looking back?

One of the things that I often think about is that we only get one life, one go around at this and how important it is to take the risk, to bet on yourself and to, even if it's a no, that no happened for a reason and just to keep pushing forward.

I think oftentimes we let fear dictate some of the things throughout our career and And one of the most important things that you can do is believe in yourself and have good mentors and advocates and then ask the tough questions.

I think oftentimes we get nervous and don't want to do that.

But I think those are some of the things that made a huge difference in my career and that I really talk when I talk about, especially to young leaders, like what it really feels like to go through a lot of those different things.

You know, bet on yourself 100%.

Thank you.

and that every day is a job interview.

I think everybody kind of forgets that people are watching even when you think they're not.

So handle yourself accordingly.
