37. What do you do? – And How Bankers Should Answer That Question
It’s time to change public opinion on the role of a banker. It’s no secret that the role of bankers is largely underappreciated and seen as an unexciting career. The truth is that bankers perform an essential service for people and their businesses. We can work to shift the paradigm by highlighting the importance of banking in our business language and shamelessly recognizing ourselves as facilitators of hopes and dreams. Emphasize your value and help change the narrative on banking!🏦 The general public doesn't appreciate bankers: a little thought exercise for bankers or similarly undervalued positions. 00:57🔶 Financial institutions can change a stale narrative: bankers assist with achieving people's goals and dreams. 03:41✅ Behind each & every transaction is a goal or a dream: there are numerous ways that bankers assist consumers, businesses, and nonprofits in the area they serve. 06:46💡 What if your Facebook posts start to highlight stories of customers who achieved a goal or a dream with the assistance of your organization? 09:18🎉 Over time, we can have more informational and interesting conversations at parties. 10:33Links: Email David: david@davidpeterson.com Connect with David: www.linkedin.com/in/dlpspeaks Learn more about David: www.davidpeterson.com Consult with David: www.i7strategies.com Sail with David: www.i7sailing.com

36. Are You Really Prepared for a Cyber Breach? Are You Sure?
You must ensure that you are adequately protected from hackers and data breaches. In the digital age, your company must have the plan to deal with cyberattacks. Working with an insurance carrier that offers coverage that is right for you is vital, and be sure to follow their protection plans carefully. Getting your employees trained and ready to handle the preparation and aftermath of a potential attack is also crucial. Ensure your business is sufficiently protected for your business and your client’s sake.📋 Insurance carriers should provide instructions regarding the protective elements you need to follow for your insurance coverage to be considered “active”. 02:57✅ You should regularly drill on the Incident Response Plan the same way as you do for a robbery or disaster: there're many elements you should have if a breach occurs. 04:35👉 The type of insurance you purchase is as critical as the policy limits. 09:05❗ It can affect your institution or customers if your "dependent vendor" is breached: do you have the right insurance partner? 10:00 Links: Book Grounded: https://davidpeterson.com/bookstore Email David: david@davidpeterson.com Connect with David: www.linkedin.com/in/dlpspeaks Learn more about David: www.davidpeterson.com Consult with David: www.i7strategies.com Sail with David: www.i7sailing.com

35. Breaking Through Resistance to Foster Effective Creativity
Resistance is a formidable opponent to your business, but you can fight back. Resistance is that barrier to all innovation and creativity within your business, it is strengthened by fear and it wants for us to stagnate and do nothing. The key to overcoming this aggressive force is professional-grade virtues like persistence, patience, and a strong dedication to doing the hard work. We can climb the mountain of resistance and make gains in innovation within our business by ensuring that progressional attitudes are adopted and encouraged at all levels of our organization. You can’t afford to stagnate, so take the professional approach and make innovation an essential part of your business.Show Notes: 💪 What the professional does that the amateur cannot do, is effectively battle and win against resistance. 00:08✅ Resistance is invisible, internal, insidious, implacable, impersonal, infallible, and universal, it never sleeps, seeks to kill, and it's most powerful at the finish line: fear is fuel for resistance but also a barometer for us of what is worth pursuing. 02:44👉 Our goals of creativity and innovation cannot be avocation - it must be our vocation: attributes of a professional and advice on how to go pro. 06:32🎯 Fear of success can be greater than fear of failure: in a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. 09:19Links:📮 Email David: david@davidpeterson.com 🎯 Connect with David: www.linkedin.com/in/dlpspeaks 🌟 Learn more about David: www.davidpeterson.com 🍀 Consult with David: www.i7strategies.com ⛵ Sail with David: www.i7sailing.com
