Description

In the latest episode of Digital Banking Podcast, host Josh DeTar welcomed Monica Parks, Chief Information Officer at Bank3. The episode centered around the importance of keeping the human element at the heart of banking and technology, drawing lessons from Monica’s unique experience as an analog astronaut.Monica shared how her time in space simulations taught her the power of empathy, focus, and honest communication—traits she brought back to lead her banking teams. She described how strict routines and clear processes, vital for mission success in isolation, also help banking teams perform under pressure. Monica stressed that even in highly technical roles, staying connected with people matters most. She encouraged leaders to step out of their silos, listen to staff and customers, and create room for unscripted, authentic conversations.Throughout the discussion, Monica and Josh explored why process, direct feedback, and crew mentality drive both space missions and successful banking operations. Monica’s practical approach showed how small shifts—like prioritizing mental well-being and open dialogue—can help teams deliver better results and build stronger connections in community financial institutions.
