Michael Harty - Founder The Card and Payments Awards

Описание: Fascinating how the awards evolved as a natural organic iteration from existing credit card relationships and business, rather spotting a gap in the market and crafting something from scratch.
Stand out piece of advice: People do business with people they like. Focus your efforts on your Availability, Affability, and Ability. In that order.
This raises your visibility with prospects, customers and when you are looking to gain a promotion – this is human nature that isn't changing anytime soon.
The Payments’ industry opportunities - we're are really lucky to be in such a great industry which is innovating constantly. The level of innovations every year is mind boggling.
We regularly see innovations we didn't even think that were possible. A call out to young talent out there, this is a great industry to be involved with if you want the pace of change and opportunities that keep on creating.
Enjoyed the piece on whom has influenced Michael life and approach to business. He has met some impressive people who've got the package, who he would have worked for if asked. They have high IQ, EQ, and DQ decency.
Coupled with this he has been “monstrously underwhelmed by some people, who have achieved high status roles. So being a keen observer of people, is key so always stay curious.
Reflecting on advice for younger self: every day is a school day, there are always people who know more than you so keep learning and you're never the finished article, so stay humble and keep iterating.
