Paul Wilson is the editor-in-chief of BenefitsPRO Magazine and BenefitsPRO.com. He has covered the insurance industry for more than a decade, including stints at Retirement Advisor Magazine and ProducersWeb.
In this episode, Chris opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome in his competitive industry, sharing practical tips for boosting confidence, and being a top 5 finalist for the BenefitsPro Advisor of the Year award.
Knowing what is on the minds of workers can help benefits advisors, carriers, and others position conversations and strategies that lean into workers' thoughts and provide solutions to address them.
This April, let's raise our metaphorical umbrellas to celebrate these women making waves. It's time to delve into their stories, quirks, and maybe even their secret rain dances.
In this episode, Larry Turell shares his journey into insurance and self-funding, offering firsthand insights into his career motivations and experiences.
I've decided this will be my final regular column for BenefitsPRO. Here are a handful of bullet points, summing up some of the most important messages from the past 20 years.
