Replace Fear with Curiosity: Recommended Reading (and Listening) for Brokers

It’s always an honor to be featured in an issue of BenefitsPRO! They asked me to share my favorite books, podcasts, TED Talks or other sources of information and inspiration.

Here’s my contribution:

I started the year with the book “Dare to Lead” by Brene Brown, and I’m currently reading the book “How Women Rise” by Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith. It details 12 habits that women should consider letting go of if they want to be stronger leaders. The book was recommended to me by Patricia Griffey, the current president of the National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), when she was on my AlignWomen Podcast discussing the lessons she has learned in her various state and national leadership roles in our industry.

Here’s a link to the full article, which was published on April 21, 2020.
