“Don’t just bounce back—bounce better.” - Randy Smith

Welcome to episode 205 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your hosts, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight.com, and Jill Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei. 

This episode is sponsored by Trellance. Trellance is a leading technology partner for credit unions, delivering innovative technology solutions to help credit unions achieve more. With a comprehensive suite of analytics, cloud and talent solutions, the Trellance team ensures credit unions increase efficiency, manage risk, and improve member experience.

In this season, Jill and I will have conversations centered around leadership, credit unions, and living our best lives. We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.

In this episode, we discuss the idea of resilience, stressing that it isn’t just about weathering a storm; it’s also about coming out stronger on the other side of it. We talk about what it means to be a truly resilient leader and how organizations can build resilience into their DNA.

We talk about how leaders who thrive through difficult times are not just the ones who endure but those who adapt, inspire, and create opportunities out of challenges. We also discuss the traits that set resilient leaders apart—how they embrace setbacks and create adaptability in their teams.

As we further explore this topic, we talk about how it is not just an organizational trait; it’s also personal, and we look at the importance of leaders maintaining their own well-being, recognizing when to push forward and when to step back.

We hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as we cover practical ways to put resilience into operations!
