Last November, I participated in a Women in Leadership workshop at the Connected Insurance conference in Chicago. As one of the women on the Breathe Life leadership team (a Montreal-based InsurTech) it made perfect sense for me to attend this event, and as I settled into my seat with my coffee and croissant, I was soon both impressed by the wit and grit of the women participating and disheartened (if not surprised) to learn about the state of women in the insurance industry.
