“We are in the business of winning with people.” - Todd Marksberry

Thank you for tuning in to episode 118 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 CUES. CUES is the leading talent development solutions provider to the credit union industry.

My guest on today's show is Todd Marksberry, President & CEO of Canvas Credit Union. In this episode, Todd shares his career journey and his take on what true leadership looks like. We also chat about innovation in serving the community and the steps he took to achieve a healthy and safe culture within his team. 

As we open the show, Todd walks us through his journey of rebranding when initially taking the role of CEO. He discusses his approach to building a solid strategy and gaining buy-in from the board. He believes that with any successful rebrand, leaders should focus on improving culture and processes for both members and employees. 

Todd believes that maintaining balance in his life is what helps him think strategically. In the office or in his yard, Todd shares that he is able to create solutions and think critically often by completing everyday tasks. He accredits a large portion of the work Canvas has done for the community and the successful partnerships they have built to his team. Todd believes that building strong relationships and shared goals is what keeps him purpose-driven.   

As we wrap up the show, Todd encourages other leaders to remember all they have done to help members and share their stories. He believes this will help credit unions maintain their relevance in such a saturated financial services industry. During the rapid fire questions, we learned what Todd was like in high school and that he was able to travel all around the world before joining the credit union movement. Find what he did and so much more in my conversation with Todd Marksberry!
