As I stand at the threshold of this new chapter, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. Completing the Corporate Claims Claim Trainee Development Program has been a remarkable experience, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my fellow Great Americans. During the past eight months, I have learned so many lessons. The first lesson being the art of perseverance. The path wasn’t always smooth, but I learned to embrace challenges. Each trial was a puzzle, and every solution a victory. Next, was humility, impostor syndrome knocked on my door, but I realized it’s a sign of growth. Lastly, community, the insurance world is vast, but our connections make it feel like a cozy corner. Let’s keep learning together. I would like to take a second to express my appreciation of Mary E. Bruggeman. Your wisdom, patience, and encouragement has helped shape my journey. Thank you for sharing your expertise and believing in my potential. As I step into the next chapter of my career, I’m excited to contribute my skills and passion in my new division, AgriBusiness ®. #GreatAmericanInsuranceGroup #AgriBusiness

"This class has been amazing in that it's empowered me to lead my clients. This has given me my sense of purpose back. It's made me understand that I do make a difference...I didn't feel like I had a voice until now. I can get very emotional about it because this is something that I've needed, really needed from a career standpoint. So thank you to the coaches and to (insert firm) for making me feel like I belong again." ❤️ 🎓 💪🏻 This week 64 client service professionals graduated from three of our Academy programs. This is just one person's experience, but I promise you there's something for everyone. This very experienced client service professional is recharged and goes into the balance of the year with a renewed commitment to her firm's clients. Do you want to compete against firms that are investing in client service for customers or talent if you're not? 👀 Nothing changes if nothing changes. We still have room in our next cohort that starts on May 9th. To have the best onboarding experience, we'd like participants registered by Tuesday. The final cohort of the year starts in June so our participants are Q4 ready. Message me about program fit.

Embrace your squiggly career. Last night, it was a pleasure to host the Insurance Institute of London YMC and Harrison Holgate at the offices of WTW. Kimberley Hallam, ACII moderated a fantastic panel discussing effective career development with an audience of very engaging YMC members. It was a pleasure to share perspectives alongside Matthew Waters and Buki Mosaku. There was a bit of banter, humour and of course, very practical actions that people can take to progress their career. The panel openly discussed the promotion process, timeline and how to stand out, internal politics, and how to respond to feedback. Kimberley Hallam, ACII beautifully captured some of the key takeaways: ⭐ It's not a career ladder...it's a journey! ⭐ Don't just leave somewhere...GO somewhere. ⭐ Insurance is a small world, don't burn bridges! ⭐ Listen to the good feedback as well as improvement areas. ⭐ Find a mentor, and ideally more than one. Look internally and externally. ⭐ Understand how your objectives fit those of the team and the company. ⭐ Be intentional in the conversations you're having and what your end goal is, whether that be short or long term. Be collaborative in working together to get there. Thank you to everyone who attended. Your questions were fantastic and I enjoyed chatting with you afterwards. Great to see so many of you on here. #wtwlife #mergersandacquisitions #MandA #mentors #careercoaching #growth

"Recently concluded an exciting 8-year journey at Liberty Mutual Insurance! Started as a fresh grad, surfed the Data Engineer wave, and landed my dream role as a Product Owner. Liberty Mutual, you provided me with 2 master's degrees, incredible career growth, family support, and the best work-life balance. Grateful to all the amazing colleagues at Liberty! MBA graduate from Boston University in Dec 2023. Job loss was a bump, but I'm stronger and eager for the next adventure! 💼💪 Excited to see what lies ahead! #LibertyMutualJourney #MBAAdventure #NewBeginnings"

"The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively." – Bob Marley As we wrap up the 9th annual Insurance Careers Month, I am reflecting on building a career of purpose, something that leaves us individually fulfilled and adding value to others. I recently saw the new One Love movie on Bob Marley’s life and was struck by how his short life of 36 years seemed to fill a very specific purpose. He had the foresight and fortitude to bring together warring factions within Jamaica, and kept going even after he, his wife and colleague were shot. It was remarkable they all survived and knew their purpose was worth the personal risk. It was inspiring he found a way to reach people with whom he disagreed, who were violent when he promoted peace. As we all navigate a troubled and divisive world, maybe Bob Marley’s life can serve as an example that there is always common ground to find. Business leaders know how to incorporate differing views, negotiate, and compromise. We are focused on creating value and real outcomes. It’s our job to win. We can choose to see a bigger purpose and bring connection and progress to our own communities and workplace. What do you want your career to stand for and what is the impact you want to leave behind? #ICM #insurancecareersmonth Marguerite Murer Tortorello, Jessica Hanna, Nicole St.Martin, Judy Busby, Gregory Jacobson, Matthew Mosher, Andrea Keenan Lisa Wardlaw
