Do you see what I see?

Have you ever been so close to something that you no longer see it?


Working inside the insurance industry for the entirety of my career, it was my relationship with risk.

As an underwriter, I learned to say “yes” to the newer building and “no” to the older one.

“Yes” to the driver with two moving violations and “no” to the one with three.

Facts, potential outcomes, and a decision to be made.

Simple, right?

But it wasn’t until I stepped away a few years ago that I truly appreciated how complicated our own relationship with risk can be.

And that has nothing to do with insurance.

We say “yes” to first dates and “no” to second.

We say “yes” to job opportunities that we then quit six months later.

Sometimes we get it right. And others it seems we get it so wrong.

It takes a lifetime to shape our relationship with risk - watch (or listen) as Silvia Li and I spend a few minutes talking through my 3 Success Secrets to Taking Risks.

Rest assured, you won’t hear “suck it up” or “just do it.”
