    Career progression - a mix of timing, luck and most crucially identifying opportunities when they arise? On this week’s We Are InsurTech Women podcast I was joined by Nika Lee, Chief Underwriting Officer at Wakam and Hattie Armstrong, Lead Go-to-Market Consultant at FinPro. where we talked about how insurance technology innovation doesn’t just happen in Insurtechs, how to prepare to ‘downsize’ to upscale your career and when to activate luck and timing to capitalise on career opportunities. Hattie, Nika and I discussed how best to prepare to ‘downsize’ when moving from a large corporate to a start-up to scale up whilst embracing a faster paced more agile and rapid decision making framework. Nika’s key advice includes ⇝be willing to get your 🖐️hands dirty - you may take on new roles and responsibilities outside of your official JD but it will expand your skillset and your future career options  ⇝be prepared for a ⏩faster pace environment and be willing to pivot where necessary ⇝don’t loose your 🤯growth mindset - embrace challenges as opportunities,  ⇝invest in relationships and your network 👪 Nika and I discussed how career progression can often look like luck but actually ‘even luck is about timing’ ⌛and even more crucially it is about doing your homework so you are clear on what an ‘opportunity’ looks like so you can then quickly leap into it. ⇝she gives gave us three point plan 📃to help understand if you are ready for a new opportunity (👇listen below to learn more) Looking for advice on making a start up journey more sustainable? Nika suggests three things: →prioritising - saying yes ✅by design but accept you might not be able to do everything immediately or yourself… so its important to understand the best ‘bang’ for your effort –>being willing to ask for help 🆘- accept that some things might need to be delegated including upwards (👇listen below for Nika’s honest experience of this) →reframe failures as a learning opportunity🎒 Tune into this conversation via the links below 👇

    💡 I Help Innovative Insurance Businesses Execute Talent Strategy 🎤 Host of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast.

    In this week’s unusual The Leadership In Insurance Podcast 🎧we have an all FinPro. line-up - Rebekah Bostan, Director of Operations and Hattie Armstrong, Lead Consultant - where we discuss the gender imbalance in the Insurtech community and what we can all do to rebalance. 💡We all know the stats (🤔see below in case you’ve been living under a rock) female founding team outperform, yet women are still underrepresented in leadership roles. The We Are InsurTech Women Community was borne out of a frustration to readdress the balance. *Women only make up 18% of insurance C-Suite (according to McKinsey) but yet account for half of the insurance workforce….. and this is even lower for Insurtech. *McKinsey has also shown a direct correlation between gender diversity and increased profitability💸— companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on their executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform. *BCG found that companies founded or co-founded by women perform better financially, generating 10% more revenue over a five-year period than male-founded businesses.  *They also found that they generate 78 cents for every dollar of funding, compared to 31 cents generated by male-founded start-ups. Creating more gender balance should be a business priority but also a societal focus: ⬇️minimise gender biases in funding allocation  ⛔remove barriers to women’s entrepreneurial journeys caused by continued gendered parenting and caring responsibilities  🤝create inclusive networking opportunities for women to build networks that meet their needs and requirements… whilst avoiding ‘fixing women’ events 📣Listen all the way through to hear my 'easy wins' for hiring and retaining diverse talent and creating a more balanced workforce. Give this one a listen via the link in the comments below 👇 👇 👇 Curious about how to build and grow virtual and geographically diverse teams as a start-up? Curious about how to manage dispersed teams effectively? WE ARE TOO. Join our next virtual event: Thursday 12th September 2024 (3pm BST) - https://lnkd.in/eSfRyZtB

    Ever feel like growing your business is like learning to surf barefoot? I loved my conversation with Daisy Qi Dong, Head of Product and Pricing Europe and Group Head of Product Proposition, at bolttech on this week’s We Are InsurTech Women Podcast where we talk about taking leaps of faith in your personal life and career and the vital mindset shifts you need to successfully cope. Growing a start-up to scale up business can often feel like learning to surf barefoot  🏄…but the amount of learning and growth you experience is exponential. Daisy and I discuss how:  ⇝it teaches you to navigate ambiguity but whilst also creating and valuing tangible structure and process – a mini real life MBA! 🧑🏫  ⇝why accepting that change is the only unchangeable can lead to a helpful mindset shift that enables you to look forward to and embrace change (👇listen below for Daisy’s great surfboard vs ⛴️cruise ship analogy comparing corporate and start-up life) We took a deep dive into what makes a successful Insurtech product 📢Daisy highlights the careful balance between creating a revolution and incremental improvement supported by a continuous innovation mindset 🎯We also discuss bolttech’s secret sauce - 👇listen in to hear bolttech’s three guiding principles that have supported its exponential growth
