Testimonials

 

I can personally say the instruction and knowledge that I received by attending the PA Bankers Leadership Institute prepared me to be a more prepared, and effective leader in the face of a world-wide pandemic. From the discussion of the passion and traits of uncommon leaders that drove them to make a difference to the study of the laws of leadership we shared with each other, I gained such valuable insight from my classmates and from Dennis and Linda. While this virus has shaken our organizations, our country and the world to its core, leadership has never been more important. These are unpresented times and none of us have experienced this type of challenge before, but I know that I am better prepared and more confident to lead our teams through these unchartered waters because of the experience and knowledge that I gained from the program.

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute was an eye-opening experience in the theory behind how great leaders operate. The instructors provided timely and effective techniques in organizational theory to allow me to further my career at my financial institution. Session by session, they coerced you out of your comfort zone and helped get you comfortable with being uncomfortable – allowing you to experience great personal growth. I would recommend this program to newly minted leaders and those who want to grow their skillset and overcome common management issues in a fun and relaxed setting.

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute was such a positive influence in my career because it was a continual building block for leading and collaborating with team members. There was such a strong focus on allowing the attendees to learn from a book or a speaker and then implementing what we learned and sharing with the group. It wasn’t simply a class I took; it was an application of the skills we were developing. We were able to learn from each other how our application of those skills worked and what we learned from it. So you get the benefit of your own direct learning, but also learning through this peer group that become an integral part in your career development.

The knowledge I took away from the PA Bankers Leadership Institute is invaluable. My take-aways from this program cannot be found in a book or through a tutorial and is beyond any other leadership program in and out of our industry. The program teaches you how to connect with yourself and connect with your team by focusing on a high care culture of profit and development.

I will always cherish the connections and relationships I developed throughout the program. My focus and intent throughout my career will forever be impacted by Dennis and Linda’s guidance and extreme knowledge. I am grateful for the experience and would encourage my peers throughout the industry to attend. For myself specifically, I learned skills and techniques that have developed me to confidently take the steps necessary to be successful in my career without hesitation. For this, I am very grateful to PA Bankers for offering this program and taking a step outside the box to offer this relevant and important content through amazing instructors.

PA Bankers Leadership Institute was one of the best training programs I have experienced in my 40-year banking career. I was undoubtedly one of the older attendees in our class, but new to my position of Chief Operating Officer. The program provided me the management skills to help navigate this new role and prepared me with tools that helped me succeed. When an opportunity arose upon the sudden resignation of our CEO, I was placed in the Interim President/CEO position and named to the position permanently five months later. The knowledge I gained while attending PA Bankers Leadership Institute was invaluable. Knowledge, combined with lifelong contacts established and relationships built, made this an overall excellent experience.  
I would recommend PA Bankers Leadership Institute whole heartedly, no matter what your age!

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute provided the right educational environment to develop the leadership skills that are not typically fostered while working on the job as a banker at your respective institution. The beauty of the Leadership institute is separating yourself from the bank to learn among a diverse group of highly motivated peers of other institutions. It was an honor to be chosen and participate to benefit from the broad wealth of knowledge provided by top-notch instructors that want to bring out the best in you. Our leadership group quickly bonded as a small group with the knowledge that we could help each other to improve our skill sets. Experienced and well-known instructors Linda Eagle and Dennis Budinich worked very well together as a team, each bringing their own experiences in addition to deeper thought processes in terms of what motivates the mind of the individual and leadership styles that make successful team. In short, the program took you to a higher level in terms of how to bring out the best in you in working with others.

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute has provided me invaluable experiences which have immediately impacted my management style and philosophy. Through a wide range of activities, including discussion, media, presentations and projects, I was educated and immersed in the tremendous impact that my influence has on my team and the entire organization. With a renewed focus on being mindful, engaged and accountable, I have altered my communication style as well as the priorities that I look for in recruiting and training management succession candidates. Upon bringing this knowledge and energy back to the bank as a whole, we have implemented the concepts into programs, including employee outreach, leadership development, and activities focused on driving a positive and passionate culture. This program has without a doubt opened my mind to be more cognizant of how the way we think about and treat each other influences the way we work and lead, ultimately determining how successful and profitable we are in line with our strategic mission. My primary goal going into the program was to expand the depth and breadth of my leadership aptitude, and I credit the tenets learned at the program for advancement in my career to a senior management position. This in turn has afforded me additional opportunity to learn from and influence a broad network of teammates at S&T.

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute brought a tremendous networking opportunity to bond with peers and see different approaches to similar issues at a much deeper level. The sessions were fun and introduced thinking outside of the box. Various topics were covered, such as psychology, culture and emotional intelligence, and inspired me to look at how I could create a better vision for the future. I learned new ways to be self-aware and intentional in my actions to engage with my coworkers more effectively. A clear message that was instilled is that leaders show themselves by the greatness of what they bring to those who surround them, not the title after their name. You show you are a leader by your actions. It was my honor to spend 18 months learning with remarkable people in an outstanding learning environment. I highly recommend the PA Bankers Leadership Institute!

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute has been life-changing both professionally and personally for me. As a result, I have become very comfortable speaking at meetings and sharing knowledge and suggestions that influence other senior leaders and impact our bank.  Several areas of direct impact involve brainstorming at Senior Management, ALCO and Branch Growth discussions. Both Linda and Dennis made the sessions both interesting and entertaining! This was the single best experience of my entire banking career. I was heartbroken when it came to an end. If given the opportunity to attend, you will love every single minute!

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute has benefited me in so many various ways. One of the main factors is it has allowed me to challenge my employer and myself to keep the customer experience top notch. It encouraged me to find new ways to create a positive work environment and uplift my staff. I also have used the tools I gained to seek ways to improve new employee onboarding, as well as offer suggestions on how to create new and effective ways to communicate among all the staff, something that was needed this past year. I also gained many new friends that I am able to reach out to for suggestions with issues and gain their council in areas that I may need assistance or new ideas. The knowledge I gained has also allowed me to communicate with the current president/CEO of the area of where I want to be in the next five years. I can communicate my plan with him and discuss my options and how we as a team can achieve them.

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute was a terrific experience. The program featured quality content and challenging tasks and assignments to help me build my leadership skills. The interaction, sharing of ideas and camaraderie with other banking leaders was a valuable part of the learning process. I would highly recommend the PA Bankers Leadership Institute to anyone looking to learn new way to continue your growth as a leader and to enhance your career opportunities.

The PA Bankers Leadership Institute was an incredible opportunity. Not only did I get to meet and create friendships with my peers from across the state, I learned so much about what I could do to provide and assist my coworkers with a path for additional growth opportunities. Because of my participation in the program, I was able to re-energize our customer service initiative bank-wide since being appointed the chairperson of the committee, along with establishing book clubs for those who are considered to be our future leaders of the bank. Both of these experiences enabled me to put what I learned through the program into action. It's hard to put into words what a great feeling it was to know that people working in similar roles to mine experience all the same things I do - both the successes and the challenges. The program and my classmates served to reaffirm my career choices while at the same time providing me with ways to reshape my skills - both in leadership and as a motivator while putting them into everyday practice. One of the greatest attributes of a good leader is always being willing to learn new things. The program showed me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it while preparing me to be able to do it.  I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and will always credit it with helping me to become the leader I am today.

PA Bankers' DEI Statement

We promote and encourage a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture that values and supports all voices across our organization. We are committed to expanding access and opportunity and to eliminating barriers. We will promote DEI proficiency to our member banks. We will do this by providing resources to support our members so they may develop and meet sustainable DEI goals.

DEI Advisory Group 

To expand on our DEI efforts across the association and membership, we have created a DEI Advisory Group to support all DEI efforts moving forward. This new group, which formed in August, will support and advise the board and senior staff on the following items:
• Establishing a sustainable DEI initiative for PA Bankers;
• Ensuring a diverse and inclusive association board and organization;
• Developing/facilitating DEI training for our members;
• Developing, expanding and evaluating potential resources and partnerships that support our members’ recruitment, retention and advancement efforts;
• Developing supplier diversity partnerships or resources to assist members with their supplier diversity efforts;
• Evaluate metrics used to measure DEI efforts across the entire organization; and 
• Other efforts and initiatives as needed. 

This group includes the current chairs (or their designee) of the Women in Banking and Emerging Leaders Committees, select banker representatives with diverse backgrounds, as well as others from outside of the organization with direct involvement in diversity & inclusion efforts within their organizations.
