“Being intentional about your career also means accepting that not everything is for you.” - Jill Nowacki

Thank you for tuning in to episode 113 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your host, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com. This episode is brought to you by our friends at PSCU. As the nation's premier payments CUSO, PSCU proudly supports the success of more than 1,500 credit unions.

My guest on today's show is Jill Nowacki, the President & CEO of the Humanidei. In this episode, we explore ideas on strategic intentionality and integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into company culture. Jill shares how she prioritizes purpose-driven work inside and outside of the credit union space, and hacks she’s discovered in her career journey.

The show begins with our discussion on leadership development and strategy. Jill believes that as the credit union industry moves forward, our strategies must be “people centered” and include transformational change and diverse integration. She examines what that may look like in the “perfect world” versus the “real world” and what strategies leaders should implement throughout the year. 

Jill shares tips for credit union leaders who also value purpose-driven objectives. She gives her thought on how teams are influenced by purpose-driven leaders and the impact they have on productivity and culture. As we move along in the conversation, Jill shares that credit unions have the ability to change the world only if the people side is right. 

We wrap up the episode with rapid fire questions and learn about how Jill’s high school experience in a small town has played a major role in the work she does today. Jill also dispels myths about leadership and reminds leaders to know, trust, and stay true to their values. Enjoy the conversation with my love, Jill Nowacki!
