Later this year, my banking career of 43 years will come to an end, with no regrets. Thank you to my family and friends who have encouraged me to tell my story, in support of my "next career" as an Intelligent Leadership Executive Coach (ILEC) (TM). What do I have to offer as an Executive Coach? In the pages ahead I will be sharing with you the long and winding road from the classroom to the Board Room, as Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO). It's amazing how quickly my 36 consecutive years as a CEO have passed. But fortunately, I have NOT repeated the first year (1987) thirty-five times!
