Musings from the CU Suite

Compiled by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU

I had a wonderful chat with a colleague this week. 

As you look around, there seems to be of disagreeing going on. A lot of "us" versus" them" floating in the air. Much of it seems dipped in anger. 

How do you counter it? The task is daunting. 

We agreed that perhaps the best thing you can do is start with yourself.

Focus on "us." The things that bond people together. Respect. Civility. Professionalism.  Trust. 

First, seeking to understand, before judging.  

Start with yourself, and create a bubble of the world you want. And stick with it.

Are you with me?

Enough of my soapbox! On to this week's reading pile. And have a GREAT weekend, everyone.
