Exploring "#The #Art #of #Courage" with Reeta Roy, President and CEO of the Mastercard Foundation During the kick-off event of this year's #Baobab #Summit. We had the privilege of hosting a reputable personality in the field of #leadership and philanthropy – Reeta Roy, President and CEO of the Mastercard Foundation, for an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) style conversation. In this "takeaways" edition, let’s look into some notable insights shared by Reeta Roy During this engaging dialogue, Reeta Roy shared valuable perspectives on what courage truly means. It's not the absence of fear, she reminded us, but rather the change that begins within us. Courage is about telling the story of who we are, and it's a quality that empowers us to take risks and make a difference. #Courage is a powerful force that drives us forward in life, and as Reeta Roy shared during the session, it's not about the absence of fear, but rather about embracing it. It's about telling a story of who we are, our values, and our aspirations. We often put immense pressure on ourselves to #achieve everything quickly. However, Reeta Roy wisely reminds us that we are not superhumans. Not every goal needs to be accomplished in a day, a week, or even a month. #Success #takes #time, and it's crucial to invest in ourselves and our careers gradually, step by step. Reeta Roy shared three guiding principles that she would impart to the next generation. Firstly, it's essential to discover our #strengths and #purpose. Each one of us possesses unique talents waiting to be uncovered. Secondly, we should acknowledge that we all have a #gift to share with the world. This simple act of recognizing our abilities can have profound #impacts. Lastly, #kindness should be at the forefront of our interactions. In a world often marked by its fast pace, a little kindness can go a long way in fostering understanding and #connection. When asked for advice to her younger self, Reeta Roy's response was both insightful and heartfelt. She would tell her younger self not to be afraid and to have faith. This piece of wisdom reminds us all that self-doubt can be an obstacle, but faith in ourselves and our journey can propel us forward. Additionally, she stressed the significance of #acknowledging #our #mistakes and #learning #from #them. It's essential to say "I'm sorry" and "thank you" when necessary, as these words hold the power to mend relationships and express #gratitude. In closing, Reeta Roy's insights remind us that courage is not just about overcoming fear; it's also about understanding, acknowledging our mistakes, and embracing our unique gifts and purpose. With these lessons in mind, we can navigate life's challenges with greater courage and #resilience. Stay tuned for more exciting notes from this Year’s Baobab Summit.

Make every decision with your customer at the centre On stage with Itaú (post 1 of 4) It was a privilege to be invited back to Brazil last October, our one-year anniversary of working together, to kick-off with the Itaú Consorcios, Home and Autos team for their Release4 . No matter whether you're a business of 8 or 8,000 employees, making decisions with your customer in the centre is key. This is exactly the focus of our collaboration.

These experiences have shaped the business that we are today. In the coming weeks we'll share some of the standout projects we've had the privilege to be a part of. You'll get a glimpse into the strategies we've developed, the lessons that have shaped our approach, and how we're applying these insights to current projects, where we empower and enable our team Libra Europe across the UK and beyond. We'll cover engagements with GXO Logistics, Inc., Mastercard, Sainsbury's, Wincanton, Glen Dimplex, McBride plc, Samworth Brothers, MCVITIE'S LIMITED, Northern and many more and we look forward to sharing our journey! #TeamLibra https://lnkd.in/dRiFwAv4

Helping to reduce businesses overall costs and energy usage, Lloyds Bank have made efforts to begin to transition towards a low-carbon sustainable business model while also helping businesses to make a real difference and tackle climate change. Through a 3-step plan, Lloyds Bank aims to be able to give you the tools to be able to make the switch to a more sustainable future. This plan stems from a thorough analysis of over 1,000 UK businesses, predominantly SMEs, revealing the challenges encountered by SMEs embarking on the path to Net Zero. Additionally, it outlines recommendations for key stakeholders pivotal in supporting SMEs through this transition. In response, Lloyds Bank has developed a practical guide for SMEs, complemented by an SME Net Zero Monitor. These resources are designed to support businesses through the 3-step plan: getting started, sustainable transition and the heroes of net zero. We are also delighted to highlight that appointed to the Lloyds Banking Group Black Business Advisory Committee, Karl Oxford has been able to breathe new life into being able to support Black entrepreneurs, with a special emphasis on addressing the unique challenges they face across the North. With his experience in strategic community regeneration, policy design and business development, Karl has been able to use his strengths to build a bond within the Black businesses and communities within the region.

Sr. Strategic Account Executive @ Veritran | Fintech | Banking | Empowering financial institutions with next-generation digital customer experiences.
"Success without fulfillment is the greatest failure." During the closing session of the America's Credit Unions (CUNA) GAC, we had the pleasure of hearing from the former professional snowboarder and five-time Olympian, Shaun White. Shaun's experience as a pro-athlete needing to consistently to perform under pressure, offered some invaluable tips for credit union leaders as well. He touched on topics such as: creating #consistency and the importance of remaining #focused, while challenging oneself to continually raise the bar. All very relevant for those also operating in the fast-moving space of financial technology. But there was one quote that really stood out to me… "Success without fulfillment is the greatest failure". While striving to be at the top of his game, Shaun repeatedly lost sight of those people in his inner circle - those that truly mattered to him. Birthdays, family gatherings and other important moments were missed or forgotten. It was not intentional. His ambition made him so laser-focused on winning that he forgot about those that were cheering him on from the sidelines. When he finally got to the top, and achieved everything that he worked so hard for, he turned around to see who was there to celebrate with him, only to realize that he had pushed everyone away - and that he had no one left to share it with. Work hard and dedicate yourself fully to your ambitions, but always find the time for those that you care about. For those of you lucky enough, call your parents and siblings - reconnect with your family and old friends. Make time for those you care about. Because without them, success means nothing. #CUNA #ACU #Fintech #CreditUnions #FinacialServices #UX #MemberExperience #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #Community
