The Leadership in Insurance Podcast - Insurtech & Innovation

Welcome to the second episode of the Leadership in Insurance Podcast "The LiiP"  In this episode, I am very lucky to be joined by FJ Smith of Clearview with FJ https://www.linkedin.com/in/fjsmith1/ FJ has a long history with the Insurance market and was previously head of Recruitment for Lloyd's of London before retraining and making a career for herself as an Executive coach and latterly as an Empowerment coach (this was a new term to me too)  FJ is someone I have known a very long time, she is funny, engaging and very direct which is a huge part of her appeal as a coach!  In this episode, I wanted to tackle what an Executive coach is, what they do and who should have one?  We covered much more than that. We talked about: FJ's first-hand experience of getting a coach whilst at Lloyd's of London  What FJ felt she gained from having a coach that inspired her to retrain as a coach  How to find the right coach   The stigma attached to coaching  Why everyone should have a coach and how we should now view coaching as something just for senior executives  When is the right time to get a coach? (JFDI - you will learn about this acronym by watching)  The 5 Gremlins everyone has that coaches work on Graduate experience of insurance  Who is coaching for and who it isn't for  What makes a good recruitment process  The most common flaws in internal recruitment function  The importance of empowerment and much, much more.  This was a great podcast and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm sure you will too.  To find out more about FJ please contact her on Linkedin.  If you want to find out more about me: Alex Bond you can check me out on Linkedin  https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbondfinpro/FinPro is a talent consultancy to the Insurance, Reinsurance and Insuretech markets on a global basis, for more information visit our website  https://www.wearefinpro.com/ Look out for more episodes coming soon.

Hello and welcome to the Leadership in Insurance podcast, otherwise known as the Liip.   On today's episode, we talk to Naby Mariyam, CEO and Founder of Coverhero.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nabymariyamCoverhero is an Australian based Insurtech platform that this year launched its first product, Hustle cover, aimed at the rapidly growing gig economy workforce   https://www.hustlecover.com/ Naby was one of the first people I wanted on the show when I thought of the idea. A host of her own podcast #Hustlechat, she is an experienced and insightful guest - not your typical insurance professional.https://www.hustlecover.com/events Naby was incredibly honest, open and direct in this podcast. We cover such topics as: Her unusual route into Insurance and entrepreneurship (Academia - Filmmaker - Entrepreneur -  Insurance?)  The challenges and opportunities of Innovation labs Pitching for funds  The true cost of entrepreneurship - money and family and the sacrifices required  Embracing serendipity to get moving  Building teams in startups  Effective communication  Being "Human" in business  Mental Health  What's next for Coverhero  I really enjoyed this podcast. Naby was a great guest - I look forward to seeing what she achieves next!  If you want to find out more about me: Alex Bond you can check me out on Linkedin  https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexbondfinproFinPro is a talent consultancy to the Insurance, Reinsurance and Insuretech markets on a global basis, for more information visit our website  https://www.wearefinpro.com/ Look out for more episodes coming soon.
