Change: The inevitable sign of progress.

As we move through our professional careers we are constantly being bombarded with change. Change is the only constant in life.  Everything evolves and progresses, sometimes for the better and some times for the worse, but always towards the future.  It is a fact that if there is no change, there is no progress.
As young professionals we are adaptable and open to new products, process and procedures, however as we mature in our careers we become resistant.  We believe that the way things have been done for the past ten years is the way they should stay.  Looking back at my own career, I would never imagine banking without savings passbooks, actual Certificates of Deposits and of course actual cancelled checks being returned to clients in their monthly statements. (If you don’t recognize some of these things- odds are they were before your time – Google them to see how far we’ve come in the past 30 years.)  A PC or fax machine, was not even a thought.  We were a well respected financial organization with CRT’s, Microfishe machines and monthly account ledger cards.  Signature cards were still housed at the Branch of account opening, and if you needed to verify a signature – good luck.
As technology grew in the late 80’s and 90’s, many bankers resisted the technological advances and were immediately left behind.  Those that excelled where the ones which embraced change the fastest, and learned to make it work. Whining and resistance led to many a demotion or termination, and invariably change happened anyway. This by no means is a call to drop things that work, but rather a call to be adaptable, open minded and progressive.
I think Mark Twain said it best, “The only person that likes change is a wet baby.” This being said, I feel strongly that the only way to make strides in life, both personal and professional, is to continuously move forward. Help your people embrace change and show them the benefits of evolving with the times. Success is never a destination, but rather a journey for which we must continuously strive, with many obstacles and hurdles, but also with many rewards.
“We cannot become what we need, by remaining what we are. If you desire growth, then you must embrace change.”   Max Depree

Passion: The main ingredient in living a successful life

By: Armando Trabanco
Looking around at the great successes of our time, we find one common ingredient –Passion.  Passion is not just the driver of their endeavor, but the fuel that moves the soul.
Unfortunately, we live in a society the measures success in dollars and cents, but fails to understand that success is the fulfillment of ones purpose on earth.  As a Banker I have had the privilege of meeting many financially successful individuals, however not all had succeeded in fulfilling their life’s purpose. If you look around they’re easy to spot. They have the latest car, eat at the best restaurants and are scheduled to attend the next big event, yet never seem happy. Most of the time they fail to acknowledge the simple beauty in nature, the blessing of friends and family and rather than looking for the good in people and situations, always seem to find the negatives. As I always say, “They’re the folks that if they won the lottery, would worry about the taxes they’d have to pay”.
Think of the individuals who have made the greatest contributions to our society, they were all passionate about their work.  From Michael Angelo to Davinci,  from Fred Smith (Fed Ex founder) to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs- each worked passionately towards a goal.  Each made a commitment to focus on making a difference, with no guarantees they’d succeed financially, yet they persevered day in and day out. What about you? What would you do, if you knew you wouldn’t fail?
This is not a call to drop your responsibilities and pursue a dream, but rather a call to analyze what you do daily, understand what you enjoy about it, and then committing yourself to doing it better than anyone else – Passionately.   Regardless of your financial situation, if you become the best at anything, people will be glad to pay for that level of commitment. We are living in a society where complacency and mediocrity has become the norm, so when you excel and stand out people will compensate you handsomely.  Make the choice, and create a successful life by living passionately.
“If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion.  For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.”  Bishop T.D. Jakes
