Dave Carroll’s 9-5 job is leading the number one Banner Bank in the Seattle metro area – two years running. His career is deeply connected to two industries that cut to the heart of what matters most to people –their health and financial security.
With an award-winning leadership approach of positively maximizing people in ways that help them grow professionally, he lifts employees up so they can lift customers in ways that get exceptional business results. AsCarroll says, “1 + 1 = 3”.
Upon learning the theme for the November issue of Authority5.0, I immediately sent a message to Carroll to request an interview. He was the first person that leaps to mind when it comes to leading from the heart. I first met Carroll in Q4 of 2019 through what could have been an ordinary networking phone call.
Instead, it led me to an invitation-only event sponsored by aprofessional networking grouphe founded called Cantillon.
With less than 24-hours’ notice, I cleared my calendar and made the nearly 4-hour drive from Portland to Seattle. I walked into a room completely electrified by over a hundred business owners and leaders who’d gathered to hear insights about how to create belonging and healthy organizational cultures. Like moths to a flame, people gathered around Carroll who was actively making introductions that could mutually benefit the attendees.
