Happy Wednesday! In this week's Big I Buzz, we are sharing an upcoming opportunity to highlight the cool aspects of your career in the insurance industry and a reminder of the upcoming FREE CE opportunities for IIAW members. 

#DayInTheLife - February 28, 2024

Join insurance pros around the country of February 28th as we share the cool aspects of your career. This event is meant to promote awareness for careers in the insurance industry, by highlighting how a single day in the life can be so drastically different from person to person. There is a great diversity within our industry, and we want to show that off. Not sure what to share? If it in any way pertains to your work day on February 28th - almost anything goes. Still stuck? Here are a few ideas to start: 

• Your current office: (Example: Working from home? Have a hybrid workforce? Do you set your own schedule? Share the ways your career offers flexibility.)
• Milestones: (Example: Did you or someone you know get a recent promotion? Has your book of business grown? Share a part of your day that reflects job security and income potential.)
• Giving Back: (Example: Did you recently handle a claim that helped someone get back on their feet? Did your office give back to the community? The ways in which you help others is always a fabulous thing to share.)
• A Routine: (Example: You start every morning by walking the dog before work, or maybe you grab a cup of coffee from a customer you insure. Share a piece of your day you never go without.)
• Work Culture (Example: Ability to work from anywhere? Having virtual happy hours? Share the things you love about your work culture!)
• Your Growth: (Example: What do you do to ensure you grow professionally? Share a pic of yourself attending a virtual conference or maybe earning CE through a webinar on your laptop.)

Your insurance career is more than meets the eye. Learn more here.
