Your Relationship with Risk

Risk is a loaded word. We're taught at an early age that risky decisions can lead to uncertain outcomes -- and today, as insurance professionals, we're confronting risk every day.

In this interactive webinar, Meg McKeen will be your guide as you build a foundation of understanding your own relationship with risk and then discover a practical method for digging deeper into the risks that present in your own life today. Maybe you self-identify as being risk-averse, maybe you've become accustomed to taking risks, or maybe you haven't given much thought to the topic either way. This webinar was made for you if you've always been a risk-taker but today find you're second-guessing yourself, find yourself slow to make decisions, you'd like to spend time in self-reflection and thinking forward, or you're considering a shift in your life or career and would like to build confidence in your ability to take the next step. Risk-taking is a muscle that we build throughout our life; let's spend some time strengthening our relationship with risk together.

Candid Conversation: Alcohol and the Insurance Industry

For generations, alcohol has been an integral part of how we network and connect with others in the insurance industry -- two martini lunches, beers after a round of golf, and the happy hours. So many happy hours. But for a host of reasons, many insurance professionals today are choosing to re-evaluate their own relationship with alcohol.

If you find yourself curious about your own -- or want to be supportive of those around you who might be -- join this interactive conversation to unpack the role alcohol plays in our industry, the challenges we might face in our relationships with our clients, colleagues (and ourselves!) as we consider a change, and what might be possible for us if we do. Throughout this conversation Meg McKeen weaves in her own personal experience in redefining her relationship with alcohol, and shares anecdotes from others on their own path in the industry, too. To make a choice to not drink can feel heavy and with consequence; let's navigate this together in this candid conversation.
