Our Personal Best Inspires the Whole
Guest blogger: Colleen Trimble brought her powerful presentation, “Heart of Money,” to the TSSA Annual Convention in The Woodlands. Colleen’s goal is to help you chart a course for understanding the emotions you’re feeling about money, and how to use it as a tool for achieving your heart’s desires and life purpose.
Hi All - wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to speak at the TSSA Annual Convention in The Woodlands. For those of you who heard me speak, you might recall my presentation entitled “Lessons from Wall Street.” For those of you who didn’t attend the morning session, it was an attempt to bridge the financial crisis with personal lessons. This past week, I had the opportunity to experience lesson #5, “Our personal best inspires the whole,” up close and personal.
I was asked to give a “Heart of Money” presentation to a local bank who offers “lunch and learn” sessions for employees. Upon entering, I was quite impressed with the “look and feel” of the bank. Instead of walls, there were large glass panes giving clear view to 3 floors. Near the ceiling of the first floor, were wide, white moldings with words inscribed - such as, entrepreneurial, individual, be the difference, unique, community, better off, and authentic.
After my presentation, I had a discussion with the Chief Administrative Officer in which I told him how lovely the building was, and that I was particularly touched by the words. He shared with me that it is the bank’s mission to positively impact everyone who has contact with their organization - in other words, to leave them better off.
I was inspired and “made better off” simply by experiencing the spirit of this organization. Our personal best does inspire the whole!
May we both inspire and be inspired during 2010!
