A big thank you to Mark Fryer, Dr. Mitch Glick, and the entire ABSTRACT team for the collaboration and to all the bankers who brought their energy, insights, and real-world challenges into the room. Already looking forward to the next session! #privatebanking #clientskills #privatebanker #workshop ----------- Who am I? A former private banker based in #Switzerland.
