Women in insurance management need to put intellect ahead of emotion, a female executive advised at the first meeting of a newly-organized New Jersey women's insurance group last week.
Lisa Tepper, Travelers Insurance Metro New York/New Jersey regional president, made her comments at the inaugural session of The Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey Inc.'s Women's Business Forum at Forsgate Country Club, Monroe Township, N.J.
According to a report by the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA), Ms. Tepper advised women executives on the importance of using intellect over emotion when dealing with situations in the work place; being confident in ones abilities; balancing a career with familial responsibilities; and having colleagues at work who also serve as a support system.
