Christmas Lunch & Core Values at Generational Equity

January 3, 2018 By Dr John Binkley - Generational Equity

Generational Equity Chairman Dr. John Binkley speaks at the firm's Christmas Lunch event.

One quality Dr. John Binkley has always been keen to reinforce at Generational Equity is unity. This spirit of unity helps to ensure the firm’s 200+ strong team of M&A professionals are motivated, comfortable and working towards a common goal – the well-being of clients.

This was supported throughout 2017, culminating in Generational Equity’s Christmas Lunch event on Friday, December 15 at the Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel.

As Founder and Chairman of Generational Equity, Dr. John Binkley was delighted to attend the event with his entire family, including his son Ryan, the organization’s President and CEO. It was a great opportunity to reflect on what had been a positive year for the firm, as they continued to strengthen their position as one of the preeminent M&A advisory firms in North America.

Core Values – The Generational Way

Dr. John Binkley watched on as his son Ryan, Heath Flock (COO) and Terry Johnson (CRSO) led a dynamic presentation to Generational Equity’s staff.

They recapped the accomplishments of 2017, including success at the 16th Annual M&A Advisor Awards, where Generational Equity was named Investment Banking Firm of the Year, and the completion of the firm’s 600th deal back in July. They also highlighted what the team can look forward to in 2018.

Outside of this review of past achievements and preparations for an exciting future, Ryan focused on sharing stories that tied into Generational Equity’s core values, values that underline everything the firm stands for. These five values constitute “The Generational Way”. These are:

  • Golden Rule
  • Unity
  • Integrity
  • Diligence
  • Excellence

These act as Generational Equity’s GUIDE to successful client relationships and effective exit planning.

Generational Equity’s Golden Rule is to treat clients and staff with the same respect and responsible stewardship as you would expect yourself. Dr. John Binkley champions this a great deal, as clients entrust Generational’s team with their most valuable asset – their business.

It is important that dealmakers and advisors are empathetic towards their concerns and treat them in the best possible manner.

As previously mentioned, unity is a key quality – Generational Equity’s staff work effectively together, and through deep research and communications they create strong bonds with clients to work towards a single goal.

This is complimented by a promise of integrity. Dr. Binkley has always held Generational’s team to an unbreakable code of ethics, a code that protects the best interests of clients and forges an ironclad degree of trust.

In the M&A industry, diligence is essential. Dealmaking is often far from straightforward; it often takes months to finalize an acquisition. That is why Dr. Binkley prioritizes diligence in building the right deal for clients at Generational Equity.

Last, but certainly not least, is excellence. Generational’s team strives for the best in every category. This helps clients to reap the rewards of exiting their business.

Generational Christmas Lunch

After this presentation, Dr. John Binkley joined the team for the Christmas Lunch. As everyone enjoyed a hearty meal, Ryan randomly drew table numbers so people could receive gifts for a year of hard work.

Gifts included Nutribullets, digital picture frames, food from Omaha Steaks and much more. Following a year that Generational Equity had much to be thankful for, it was the least the team deserved for their efforts.

Alongside the great gifts and delicious food, the team enjoyed live music, amazing decorations arranged by HR, and time to chat with other staff in a relaxed, comfortable setting. It was the ideal round-up for 2017, a year where new records were set and great relationships established.

Now, Dr. John Binkley is looking forward to a promising 2018 for Generational Equity. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on developments here on this blog, as well as on Generational’s Insights page.

Join in the Festive Fun at the Generational Group Dallas Jingle Bell Run

December 6, 2017 By Dr John Binkley - Generational Equity

December is the merriest month on the calendar, and Dr. John Binkley hopes that everyone experiences a lot of holiday cheer in the coming weeks. Christmas is a time for family togetherness, brotherhood and celebration of our Lord, as well as a time for giving. As Proverbs 18:16 states:

A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.

While this is an attitude you should take 365 days a year, the holidays are a notable time to think of those less fortunate and help those in need. Dr. Binkley is looking forward to spending quality time with his family, reflecting on another successful year for the Generational Group, and of course, the annual tradition that is the Dallas Jingle Bell Run.

Dr. John Binkley shares information about the 2017 Dallas Jingle Bell Run, where Generational Group is the title sponsor.

For the fourth year in succession, Generational Group is delighted to be the title sponsor for this over 20-yearslong pastime, taking place on Thursday, December 21, 2017. Dr. John Binkley is honored that his company is now firmly tied to an event that champions family spirit, supporting others and has plenty of festive fun. Here, Dr. Binkley shares why Dallas residents should get involved in this spirited spectacular.

Why You Should Join The Dallas Jingle Bell Run

The centerpiece of the Dallas Jingle Bell Run is the nighttime 5K race and 1-mile fun run. With races commencing from 6:30 pm, participants are encouraged to come dressed in their best holiday attire, and will be given a pair of jingle bells and glow sticks to light up the streets of Dallas throughout the evening. Plus, there’ll be carolers and music throughout the course, as well as plenty of Generational Group’s team in tow.

One thing that Dr. John Binkley is especially thrilled about is how inclusive this event is. Children aged 10 and under are in a separate chip timing category from adults, and there will be a post-race prize for Most Festively Dressed Dog. So, whether you walk on two legs or four, you’re more than welcome to take part in the fun run festivities.

Plus, there is the always exciting post-race party – the perfect way to unwind after the nighttime run. Held at the Hilton Anatole’s Chantilly Ballroom, this year will feature a live performance by the Spazmatics, appearances by the Mavs Maniacs, photos with the Dallas Mavericks Dancers and plenty of adult and kid-friendly refreshments. For Dr. Binkley, this annual experience is a great blend of fun, fitness and festivities, and something Generational Group is grateful to be part of.

Raising Money While You Run

As mentioned earlier, the holidays are an ideal time to spread festive cheer to those in need, and both Generational Group and the Dallas Jingle Bell Run share this spirit of giving. Dr. John Binkley is delighted that all proceeds from the event will be going toward the Trinity Strand Trail and the Mavs Foundation, two wonderful organizations.

The Trinity Strand Trail is dedicated to connecting trails, neighborhoods and communities across Dallas. Located at the heart of the city’s Design District, since 2002 the project has been steadily enhancing trails for hiking and biking, with the goal of connecting over 73 miles of trail.

The Mavs Foundation is affiliated with the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, using its unique platform to empower Dallas’ youth, women and families through financial support, advocacy, and service. As someone who recognizes the value of family, Dr. John Binkley is firmly behind associations that aim to strengthen their foundations. The Mavs Foundation generated over $3.5 million to non-profit organizations in the past 20 years, including those focused on foster care, victims of domestic abuse and family homelessness.

Ready to Run?

There is still time to sign up for this yearly celebration, and Dr. Binkley urges everyone to get involved in any capacity. Whether you’re ready to run the streets of Dallas, partake in the post-race entertainment, or volunteer, you can discover how you can join here.

Of course, if you can’t attend, you can also make a donation on the website.

Dr. John Binkley is the Founder and Chairman of Generational Group, the title sponsor for this year’s Dallas Jingle Bell Run. Discover more about the firm on their website, and you can learn more about Dr. Binkley here.
