“Listen to your mother and wear your coat!” Today as I type this blog, it is 76 degrees, sunny and beautiful outside. The need for that winter jacket no longer exists and mothers can now be heard exclaiming springtime reminders to their children such as, “Don’t walk on my white carpet with your muddy shoes!”
As many around the bank have noticed, I don’t always wear a coat when I should in the winter, so the warm weather suits me well. The warmer temperatures also save the breaths of my kind and caring co-workers. You see, whenever I arrive without a coat, an echo can be heard. That echo is that of multiple bankers saying, “Jared, where is your coat? It is cold outside. You’re not doing as your mother taught you!”
As I type this banking blog, you might be wondering what jackets and reminders from Mom have to do with the financial world. Let me explain, it is pretty simple.
Our mothers give us reminders as youngsters because they care about us. The maternal nature is to provide an environment that makes it possible for a child to excel throughout life.
Iowa State Bank is filled with caring employees that have a deep desire for customers and coworkers to excel throughout their lives and accomplish their goals.
If you want to discover the nurturing environment of community banking at its best, stop by and visit with us. (The muddy carpet will clean up at the bank!)
This weekend we celebrate Mother’s Day. Don’t forget to honor those special women in your life!
