My newsletter is a little late this month, and a bit on the short side thanks to a stomach flu that wiped me out for 2 weeks. The first week I was taking care of others and the second week found me flat on my back.
Here’s the link to the March issue of Insurance Tidbits. You can also visit the Newsletter page of the website at any time to see the current and past issues of Insurance Tidbits, as well as Get it Write.
If not, you might want to consider it.
The webinar classes I teach are live, just like classroom seminars. The difference between a seminar and a webinar is that you attend a webinar from whatever location you choose rather than in a classroom chosen by the CE provider.
You don’t need to pass an exam to receive CE credit and, so long as you comply with the CE requirements of your state, you can participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable doing.
No, you don’t have to speak via your microphone. No, you don’t have to use your webcam and appear to anyone. You are required to periodically raise your hand (electronically) and send messages via the system but, otherwise, no one sees or hears you in the traditional sense.
My April webinar schedule for insurance CE is now available. Why not check them out?
I’ve added a few new dates to my insurance continuing education webinar schedule for A.D. Banker and Company in March. Three are personal lines related, and the other is about the subject of anti-money laundering.
You can view my webinar by clicking here, or looking at the sub-menu above by hovering over the Insurance tab in the link bar.
Most people are fully aware of their vulnerability to cyber crime; however, most don’t know precisely what they can do about it–or where to do for information.
According to the 2019 Cyber Barometer published last month by Generali Global Assistance, more than 50% of individuals around the world were the victim of a cyber crime, or knew someone who was. In the U.S. credit card theft and identity theft are currently the most common forms of cyber crime. If you would like to view an infographic of Generali’s study, click here.
I have come across a LOT of websites when conducting research for the insurance courses I write that provide tips and advice to people seeking to protect themselves. URLs to those websites, and the valuable information they provide, appear below. I hope you find some of the helpful!
I’ve always been inspired by the “can do” spirit.
When I conducted research for my book Taking the Mystery Out of Business: 9 Fundamentals for Professional Success, a common refrain focused on attitude. You’ve heard all the sayings and platitudes about positivity–in other 
words, believing in yourself and taking steps to support that belief.
Let’s face it, if you don’t believe you can walk those 10 miles on the Run for Hunger, why is anyone else going to back you? If you don’t have the courage to speak your mind, why is anyone else going to believe you when you do speak?
We don’t have to be intellectuals to succeed. We don’t have to be athletes, or tall, or pretty. We don’t even have to be human, as the photo accompanying this blog post indicates. We just have to adopt the right attitude–we need to believe in ourselves.
If you want to sleep in the sun, you need to find the sun, bask in it, and relax enough to close your eyes and enjoy.
Happy Monday!
