Meet Larry Blaszak, an M&T Technology Equipment & Sales Team Lead who inspires our team during #EarthMonth and beyond: "Earth Month is a time to spread awareness of the importance of the planet’s conservation. In my role at M&T Bank, I recondition technology to either reuse, re-market, donate, or recycle, thus decreasing landfill waste and reducing our carbon footprint. This year’s Earth Month theme, Planet vs. Plastics, is a great reminder that plastic is a durable product that does not decompose quickly. It is not biodegradable; thus, when disposed, it poses a great danger to life. A process that has been used to dispose of plastics, burning the product produces harmful gases and adds to the ozone layer destruction." #sustainability #planetvsplastics

I had a marvelous experience discussing authentic inspirational strengths with leaders in my recent Pinnacle Financial Partners Leadership Learning Community. One standout leader shared how she excels at making connections, expressing her care through small gifts and tokens of appreciation for her team and associates. After the session, she surprised me with an "Emotional Support Pickle" (pictured) and a sweet note that brought a smile to my face. It got me thinking about the various ways leaders on LinkedIn engage and care for their associates. I'm curious, what do YOU do to foster connections and show appreciation to your team? Please share in the comments🤔 #LeadershipDevelopment #EmployeeEngagement #TeamAppreciation Traci Christian (thank you)

Honored to be the executive sponsor of the Wells Fargo Black and African American Connection Group. Recently I joined Tanya Sanders, Ekene Ezulike, and George Thompson on a panel to speak to our employees about leadership. Curiosity was one of the consistent themes we discussed – leading with a curious mindset opens doors to endless possibilities, fuels innovation, and drives growth. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had an active imagination. LEGO® has always fueled my curiosity and continues to teach me to lead with creativity and operational excellence. Read more about how Lego has helped me inspire my team to think about things differently to unlock diversity of thought, all with a common framework that ties back to what we are trying to achieve: https://lnkd.in/expDdfVW

Will local #communitybanking and #creditunion leaders promote the rights to private property and personal wealth? Or, will consumers be left without any advocates or partners in the possession and preservation of modern digital #money, especially at a time when it's needed to protect the fruits of their labor from the abuses and schemes of centralized bankers and corporatists in Congress? #bitcoin #btc #inflation #dollar #fbi #intimidation #innovation

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I reflect on my journey as a proud Hispanic gay man and Vice President Branch Manager at JPMorgan Chase. My intersecting identities have profoundly shaped my experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Being both Hispanic and gay has given me a unique perspective on diversity and inclusion. It has taught me the power of authenticity and the importance of creating spaces where everyone can bring their whole selves to work. The Value of Inclusive Workplaces Working for a company like JPMorgan Chase, which not only accepts but celebrates who I am, has been transformative. It has allowed me to: - Unleash my full potential without fear of judgment - Contribute diverse viewpoints to problem-solving and innovation - Connect with colleagues on a deeper level, fostering stronger teamwork Embracing diversity isn't just the right thing to do—it's a business imperative. Companies that champion inclusivity tap into a wealth of talent, creativity, and perspectives that drive success. This Hispanic Heritage Month, I'm grateful for the progress we've made and excited for the future we're building together. Let's continue to create workplaces where every individual, regardless of their background or identity, can thrive. #HispanicHeritageMonth #LGBTQ+ #Diversity #Inclusion #AuthenticLeadership #JPMorganChase
