Happy Holidays!

Motivational speaker Harry K. Jones has appeared all over North America addressing topics such as change, customer service, creativity, employee retention, goal setting, leadership, stress management, teamwork and time management.There are, perhaps, many normal, well-adjusted persons living in our society today who feel—and not without some justification—that the annually recurrent holiday known as Christmas has lost much of its basic cultural significance owing to the progressive distortions generated by the conceptual vicissitude concomitant with modern day life … but we think it’s kind of nice!

Is Leadership on your Christmas List?

Life is often ironic. I’m sitting at my computer looking out my window at the scenic fall vista we’re currently blessed with. Gentle warm breezes caress the trees as the bright autumn sun reflects off the glassy surface of the lake like sapphires. Days like this were made for strolling through the silent woods as your mind wanders endlessly. It’s sometimes difficult to concentrate with a view like this, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s very calming after a week of airports and conference centers. I obviously digress.

The irony arises in the fact that ten miles from this tranquil autumn scene you can walk into Wal-Mart, Target, Hobby Lobby or the mall and find yourself suddenly surrounded by aisle after aisle of Christmas decorations! Should this be your first trip, allow me to direct you to this Winter Wonderland. You’ll find it situated just past the Thanksgiving aisle, which immediately follows the Halloween merchandise.

Professional Speaker Harry K. Jones Quoted in Recent Credit Union Publications

Professional speaker Harry K. Jones was recently quoted in two credit union publications, the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) News and Credit Union Times.

The Credit Union National Association News article, “Mid-America CU Association Hosts its First Idea Institute,” discusses Harry’s recent presentation to the Mid-America Credit Union Association entitled ”Blue Jeans and Tennis Shoes: Using Out-of-the-Box Thinking.” The article states:

AchieveMax®, Inc. consultant, speaker and facilitator Harry Jones challenged attendees to take a different look at things by reframing, closing the knowing/doing gap and adjusting their sails.

“Today’s typical member wants only two things,” he said. “They want good feelings and solutions to problems. As credit unions, that is what you were built on.” To give members what they want, credit unions must create a culture to attract good people, work as a team, and continually improve, he said.

The Credit Union Times article, “On-Site Coverage: Create a Purpose for your CU that Everyone Knows, Understands, and Lives By,” includes information on Harry’s recent presentation, “Productive Chaos: Riding the Wave of Change,” for the Maryland & District of Columbia Credit Union Association:

Be sure staff knows your credit union’s purpose and can articulate it in their own words, Harry Jones advised attendees of the MDDCCUA Annual Conference here today.

Then ensure there are shared values in reaching that purpose with buy-in from everyone in the organization, board of directors to the teller line. Without aligning everyone’s goals, a credit union will have a hard time achieving them.

Part of the chaos is just normal change. “There’s been a lot of change out there. Your members have changed, their business has changed, their needs have changed, their expectations have changed,” he noted. Has your credit union is the critical question.

Both articles are available in full at the links above.
