At this year's BenefitsPRO Broker Expo, four industry leaders shared their stories and what led them to their thoughts on what the future of benefits should look like.
In a BenefitsPRO Broker Expo panel discussion, five female leaders in benefits – all from different generations – share their unique industry insights and perspectives.
Although she didn't start in pole position, Nancy Giacolone has come to lead the pack through determination, innovation and a client-centered approach.
"Stop looking for the evidence of whether or not you are good enough and just go," Molly Bloom says.
In a BenefitsPRO Broker Expo keynote presentation, the health futurist and medical economist said health care will change more in the next five years than it did in the last 50 years.
Daymond John lead us through his thoughts on everything from investing and financial literacy to starting a business and goal setting.
Paul Wilson moderated this insightful conversation with Broker of the Year Alumni.
The ongoing balancing act between past, present and future is one of the key challenges facing benefits professionals these days.
For those who were unable to join us at this year's Broker Expo, here are some pieces of advice our honorees wish they had gotten when they were younger.
