Today, I’m talking with David Norris. David began his banking career in 1981. For the next 25 years, he helped his bank grow from a two-location company with $20 million in total assets to a bank with 35 locations in 24 communities and nearly $3 billion in total assets. It is now the 18th largest bank in Texas. David was also the team lead on nine different bank mergers and acquisitions. Afterwards, he decided that it was time for him to pursue a new goal. Now, he provides transformational leadership coaching and development as a solo entrepreneur. Before making this transition, David spent a couple of years preparing himself and helping the company prepare for his transition. To prepare himself, he studied many of the top authors in the leadership space and even got some certifications. One of David’s core principles is that it’s not just experience that develops a leader but “evaluated experience” through applied action. This is where his one-on-one coaching comes in. Tune into this episode to hear more about David’s journey and learn from his insights on transformational leadership. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: David’s journey from a senior bank executive to creating his own business. How he not only had to learn new things but also “unlearn” some other things. Why you should seek out a “new room” of connections and colleagues. How great coaches add value to their clients by providing them with the “truth.” How attention to your calendar makes a big difference as a solopreneur. Why David suggests that every leader carry two books with them.

101: 5 Conversations You Need to Have When Beginning Your Encore Career

I started my podcast to help manufacturing leaders. My goal was to help them create a compelling future for themselves, their teams and organization. And so, I focused on leadership skills, organizational skills, learning, development and technology. While these are still issues, what I found is that the #1 issue is talent and workforce.  Many people are already working on bringing new talent into the workforce. And so, I decided to focus on the “experienced” workforce that is on the sidelines either by choice – or not by choice – who could provide the needed expertise and skills, especially for small and medium-sized companies.
