Executive Coach
Former President & CEO, First Bethany Bank & Trust · Past Chair, Oklahoma Bankers Association Board of Directors
“I always made two rules for myself: I would never vote for a loan I didn't believe in, or if I didn't understand it, I wouldn't vote yes.”
Jane Haskin
Experience
Union Bank
Local Oklahoma Bank
Jane spent three decades as one of the only women in Oklahoma banking leadership, developing people others had already written off and building the analytical discipline to back her judgment as a CPA. She coaches leaders who are underestimated in their own rooms and need someone who has actually been the only one in hers.
Community banking in Oklahoma, where a bank's fate is inseparable from its people's. Jane spent more than three decades in the sector: as a commercial lender and credit analyst at Union Bank, then Senior Vice President of Commercial Lending at Local Oklahoma Bank, then eleven years as President and CEO of First Bethany Bank & Trust, a $200 million institution.

When you go in for a job interview, don't apologize for the things you can't do, just tell me the skills you do have." > *Bucket note:* P8 (advice to a young executive) wasn't asked verbatim in this interview, but this unprompted answer, about the advice she gives her own daughter, directly answers it in substance. Used per the bucket rule ("whichever question in the bucket the coach actually answered well").
I would like it to be that I helped other people be better. Not only the employees, but the customers as well.
Tell us about the leader and the situation. If Jane is not the fit, one of the other coaches will be.
