Terrance Williams says it was his dad who taught him to be a leader who listens, an intern who asked him how he knows insurance is still the right career for him and his parents together who instilled in him his mantra of “paying it forward.”In this episode of the CUES Podcast, Williams, the new president/CEO of CUESolutions provider TruStage®, illustrates his leadership style by describing his approach to having lunch.“I want to make sure that everyone's comfortable engaging with me,” says Williams. “When I go get lunch, I talk to everyone in the cafeteria, regardless of their role, and regardless of what they do, and I want them to view and see me as someone that's approachable as someone that they can talk to and engage with—and give me feedback, give me a suggestion, give me a thought. (That) doesn't mean we're going to do everything that comes my way, but I always want to maintain that open forum, so that people are comfortable coming to me and approaching me."Williams explains in the show how he was able to respond to an intern's question about whether Williams had made the right decision to pursue a career in insurance. He is certain that he has.“I … believe what we do genuinely matters,” he says. “When you think about the ability to transfer risk, the ability for me to live my life without the worry of being able to take care of the unexpected, without having to worry about what might happen with the loss of a loved one, … our role, when you boil it all down … is really to ensure that we can help rebuild lives to the degree money and caring can. That's what we do. And I would like us to talk about that more as an industry.”Williams adds that one of TruStage's strengths is its mutual structure. “This belief in this notion of people helping people, the ability for us to make long-term decisions that really are centered around the member, the ability to ensure that we can invest today with the recognition that we will benefit someone tomorrow.”The show also gets into:Williams' mantra, paying it forward, and how he wears that idea on his arm (see photo) How Williams won a national award for chief marketing officers without being a CMOThe job during Williams' career that was most formative for him as a leaderDiversity, equity and inclusionLinks for this show:TruStageTruStage's CUESolutions provider pageKey Strategies for Setting Up a Diversity & Inclusion Program with Angela Russell from TruStageCUESolutions providers are trusted credit union suppliersTranscript

Know this about Pete Crear: He was the first to win the lifetime achievement award from the African American Credit Union Coalition - and when they gave him the award in 2003 they decided to name it after him. The roster of Pete Crear Lifetime Achivement Award winners is now a dazzling hall of fame of credit union heroes and heroines, including several who have been in the CU 2.0 Podcast - Bill Bynum and Bert Hash, Jr. The podcast opens with how Crear felt when he was told that, not only did he win the award, it was now named after him. You will like his authenticity.Just who is Pete Crear? Here's the press release that went out when he retired as CEO of WOCCU, the World Council of Credit Unions.The release noted: "Prior to joining WOCCU, Crear was CUNA's executive vice president of external relations and, before that, executive vice president and chief operating officer responsible for daily operations of the Madison, Wis., office. He also served in top leadership positions at the Indiana, Connecticut and Michigan credit union leagues."Crear also is of an age where he saw the nation change. He vividly remembers the impact of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society legislation that made civil rights a legal reality, not just a talking point.And he remembers the job discrimination he encountered when he applied for his first adult job. Does he think matters are better now for African Americans - both credit union members and employees? Listen to the podcast for his answers.In the podcast Crear mentions a CPA he worked for early on, Richard Henry Austin, who went on to serve as Michigan's first African American Secretary of State.He name checks Bucky Sebastian - a past podcast guest - for helping rid NCUA of regulations that made it harder for African Americans to borrow. Crear also tosses a praise bouquet at Angela Russell, a CUNA Mutual executive, and Cliff Rosenthal who literally wrote the book on CDFIs. One more name to mention: Renee Sattiewhite, CEO of the AACUC and a past podcast guest. A last fact to know about Pete Crear: this is a very good natured man. He laughs. He shares himself. And he wants to make the world a better place.Like what you are hearing? Find out how you can help sponsor this podcast here. Very affordable sponsorship packages are available.

This episode of Black Oxygen is brief. In this episode, our host, Angela Russell, provides an overview of the topics we’ll be covering in season 2. Season 2 of Black Oxygen is going to be focused all on love. We all know the often cited headline that WI is the worst state in the nation to be Black ... and yet Angela, a Black woman, that loves Wisconsin. She doesn’t think that Wisconsin needs to be a place of unrequited love for Black folks. She thinks that, collectively, we have the power to change the narrative. Angela says that a key foundational component in creating a better Wisconsin for all is a radical and revolutionary love. Not in an overly touchy-feeling superficial romantic sense - but in a way that calls us to explore what it means to love ourselves, each other, and re-imagine and create structure that embody a love ethic.
The tables are turned on this episode of Black Oxygen. On December 23, Ali Muldrow interviewed Angela Russell - the creator and host of Black Oxygen - for WORT’s live recording of A Public Affair. This Black Oxygen episode features this live recording. Ali and Angela cover many topics including the genesis story of Black Oxygen, what it means for Black leaders to be fully human, reflections and learnings from the podcast, and so much more.

Organizations are the interface between society and the individual. In the midst of great societal upheaval around issues of race and equity, we’re taking you inside a couple of large organizations on both sides of the Canadian border to see what it takes to create inclusion from the inside-out, one individual, one team, one department at a time. Join us for this conversation with leading equity experts— Nicholas Davis, Director of Engagement and Inclusion, CBC (Canada), Tobie Mathew, Program Manager, City of Toronto and Angela Russell, Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, CUNA Mutual Group (US) about the call, cost and contribution of leading efforts for racial justice inside organizations. The post Episode 7 – Diversifying Organizations, Leading Inclusion: Tales from the Trenches appeared first on Breaking the Ocean.
Ask Angela Russell, Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at CUNA Mutual Group, a year from now what she would want to be able to tell us about progress made in the year and she did not hesitate with her answer.On a personal level, she said, she hoped her son would be able to go for a run outside without fear.Professionally, she said she hoped that the conversation about race and diversity and financial inclusion would be continuing and that credit unions would still be taking positive actions, rather than today's focus on race simply fading away as just another fad.Take a deep breath now. If you believe this will be a heavy podcast that challenges a lot of your beliefs you are right."We are doing better but we have a long way to go," said RussellBut also know this: Angela Russell is an engaging conversationalist (hear her personal podcast, Black Oxygen, here) who laughs often but who also puts our attention on issues we might want to ignore - but nowadays we cannot.The US is changing. We are fast on the way to becoming a minority majority nation. Credit unions that want to stay relevant need to adapt to this changing reality and that means, among other things, tuning into the changing demographics of their communities, seeking to engage minority board members, and seeking to improve representation of multiple races and nationalities on their workforces.It's a tall order. But now is the time.There are many related podcasts in this series, including #100 with Victor Miguel Corro of Coopera, another CU DEI Collective member, 101 with Renee Sattiewhite of the African American Credit Union Coalition, and also Cathie Mahon, CEO of Inclusiv, also a CU DEI Collective member. And a podcast with Cliff Rosenthal, a pioneer in the CDFI world. And there's a podcast with Pablo DeFillipa, also of Inclusiv. Another don't miss is Bill Bynum of Hope CU. The podcast also mentions a book titled Evicted, by Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond.,Like what you are hearing? Find out how you can help sponsor this podcast here.

We all have a part to play to bring about that moment.” If you have ever wondered if your small actions can make a difference, then be inspired by the wisdom from our Emmy Award-Winning guest, Angela Russell. When does a moment happen because of the courage of a few? When is the time to call out the truth? With a wealth of experience in media and content creation, Angela made a conscious choice to invest her energies in spreading the message of goodness - instead of the toxicity which is often synonymous with media. A courageous decision. “Our kids are inundated with subtle messages – whether it is pink onesies or t-shirts with rockets. We have to ask ourselves where did those messages come from?” Get an inside look into her passionate perspective about how “being right feeds our egos – being kind feeds our souls.” Angela's secret sauce is her ability to connect the dots to the larger story of real kindness today.
