on’t be afraid to ask for help, ask for suggestions, or ask for input. — Katherine Nolan
ravelers Insurance recently hosted their “SHE Travels” forum in Houston, Texas. SHE Travels is a panel discussion that focuses on the development of female careers within the insurance industry and fosters important discussions about female leadership and the empowerment of women in the workplace. Our own Chief Operating Officer, Katherine Nolan, was one of three esteemed female leaders in the insurance industry selected to participate in the SHE Travels panel discussion. The discussion included topics such as networking strategies, career advancement and modern mentoring. During the panel Katherine stressed the importance of women advocating for their own careers: “You need to own your career. ‘If I’m not getting where I want to go, how do I do that?’ You need to ask for help sometimes, and that’s okay. You have to own [your career] because no one else is going to.” With a female employment rate of nearly 80 percent at TWFG’s Home Office, and over 100 female branch owners, our company is no stranger to advocating for females in the industry, but that is not always the case for women in the workplace. Katherine emphasized finding bosses, especially males, who will advocate for you: “Don’t be afraid to ask for help, ask for suggestions, or ask for input…. A lot of men will sponsor your development, but you have to open up to it and sometimes ask for help. Women don’t often like to do that.” If you know a woman who deserves to be recognized for the amazing work she is doing here at TWFG, let us know. We would love to highlight her in our next issue!
