What if the key to your next opportunity isn’t confidence… it’s courage?

This week on Making Maverick Moves, Gina L. Osborn — retired FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge and Army veteran — talks with Katie McEvilly, Senior Vice President and Branch Banking Market Leader at U.S. Bank, about building courage, finding mentors, and learning to trust yourself enough to take bold leaps forward.

Katie’s story proves that purpose often finds us when we least expect it. From starting as an “accidental banker” to leading teams across California, she shares what she’s learned about:

💥 Saying yes before you feel ready 💥 Building courage like a muscle — through action and repetition 💥 Getting out of your own way and trusting those who believe in you 💥 Leading with authenticity and consistency — because people are always watching 💥 Giving yourself grace to grow and redefine what leadership looks like

As Gina and Katie remind us, leadership doesn’t just happen in the spotlight. It’s built in the small moments — the hallway chats, the quiet decisions, and the way you show up when no one seems to be watching.

If you’ve ever questioned your next move, this episode is your reminder to trust yourself, lean into your mentors, and take the leap anyway.

As she enters her 24th year with U.S. Bank, Katie McEvilly recently began a new position as Branch Banking Market Leader – Orange County South Bay.

After five years in Wealth Management, she’s excited to return home to the Branch Banking team — working alongside the California CBB Leadership Team and OCSB Leadership Team to serve teams, clients, and communities across Southern California.
