PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Education Buzz: Personal Wellness
“Success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else.” ~John C. Maxwell Over the last many months, I have observed community bankers working overtime. When I say overtime, I mean more than just time, they are choosing to get the work done plus doing more to support their teams. What an encouraging sight to watch and hear about stories that influence our drive to continue learning, growing and doing whatever it takes to be successful. In John C. Maxwell’s study of the laws of teamwork, it teaches us that the catalyst is the leader who brings energy
and fun to a team. A team catalyst has a drive to stir the team to endure. The heart of our Georgia community bankers continues to shine bright. As we continue striving for personal and professional success, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Personal wellness is a process of achieving full potential. Have you considered what you are doing to improve your own well-being? To achieve our full potential, don’t forget to take care of your mental health. What are your thoughts telling you? What are your friends telling you? Find a friend or co-worker and take a walk, talk about all the positive things that have happened to support your mental well-being.
