Ready to Challenge the Norm? Join Us for a Conversation That Could Change Everything.
Alcohol in the workplace is often the quiet force in the shadows no one talks about - so ingrained in the workplace that many of us feel expected to accept - and yet, that force is loudly shaping productivity, culture, and relationships. It's never more so than during year-end - and the holiday season - in the insurance industry.
What would happen if we bring this issue out of the shadows and confront it head-on?
Join us for Against the Grain: In the Holiday Spirit…without the Spirits, an eye-opening conversation between insurance professionals, where you can expect real stories, insights you've never heard before, and perhaps the inspiration you've been craving.
Host Meg McKeen will be joined by three industry professionals representing the carrier, broker, and insurtech sides of the business to share more about their decision to re-think their relationship with alcohol - and how it transformed their careers, relationships, and lives.
Discover the untold stories, the hidden truths, and the unexpected benefits of choosing a different path, when you go Against the Grain.
