Kendra Gardner, Tri-Cities Credit Union:
LEADS has been incredibly meaningful to me both personally and professionally. It has helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect, especially when it comes to confidence.
I can now speak in front of people without being super nervous, and along the way I’ve built so many strong connections and genuine friendships.
From a business standpoint, being able to refer customers to people I truly trust is huge. When clients know they can trust not only me, but also the people I recommend, those relationships grow naturally, and it often leads to them referring their friends and family as well.
One great example of that happened when someone from a financial advisory group called to refer a client after an advisor they knew had subbed into my LEADS group about six months earlier. That single connection ended up turning into three new clients for me.
What makes our group special is that we know how to have fun while still getting business done. We’re a unique group of supportive professionals who truly want to see each other succeed.
I would absolutely encourage anyone to consider joining LEADS if they want to grow both personally and professionally. One of the biggest surprises for me was how much it shaped my own career path. The relationships I built through LEADS helped me transition into the position I have now, and honestly, I’m happier in my career than I’ve ever been.
Kendra's group meets at 7:30 am on Wednesdays.
