Four keynote speeches between the CEOs and the Chiefs, and they were impressive.
- CEOs both end with a mission that is more about humanity than the business, being fair, being accessible, with humanity. They build their cases from two very different angles, one envokes emotions and inspires with personal stories whereas the other tells stories about the social values for every banking business decision
- Chiefs have very similar regulatory agenda, being fair, being accessible, safety and soundness on the financial systems. Earlier in the DC random chatter, the commentators had already complained that the new chiefs have been slow, have not substantiated the new imperatives, plenty of overlaps ... here one of them, in playful barbs, says taking the time to have lunches in the cafeteria, baking brownies, and cookies, outreach while the other one says he could do one single metric, could go solo on getting things done. Interestingly both are on the board of the other agencies
The audience simply finds their own inspirations and virtual mentors. The world is full of differences, but seeing that differences can co-exist and being somewhat equally effective and thriving, that is priceless for what I really got out of the conference.
