At the inaugural ACE keynote panel, "The Feminine Mystique and Insurance," which took place on June 16th, four industry leaders took the stage to share their formulas for success and longevity in the P&C insurance industry. Claims Magazine Editor in Chief and ACE Chairperson Christina Bramlet moderated the dialogue, which covered topics such as career advancement, personal assessment, and communication skills. Below are some highlights from the discussion.
Bramlet: Do you have any advice for those in the early stages of their career?
Elise Farnham, president of Illumine Consulting: Making connections is something that you start with early in your career. All of those relationships, connections and everything you’ve learned are cumulative. Renew old friendships and be sure to reconnect with people on a regular basis. LinkedIn is a vital tool for anyone in business and much easier to use than a blog or personal site. Also, I can say that some of my best work has come from people who I’ve helped get a job someplace else.
