Description

IIAV Connects!

A conversation series featuring people, ideas, and solutions. These conversations will take place virtually, via Zoom. We will connect you, your peers, and experts to discuss ideas and help you find solutions.  

Our next conversation will take place on Wednesday, May 27th from 1:00pm - 2:00pm. 

As the world around us came to a grinding halt in March, insurance professionals were declared essential by Governor Northam.  In an official sense, the word “essential” was and is key in allowing you to continue doing the critical work of serving your clients.  

In a conversation you won’t want to miss, Kevin Brown provides an entirely different perspective on what it means to be “essential” – and (spoiler alert), it has nothing to do with official declarations and everything to do with the choices we all make every single day.   As only Kevin can, he’ll give us an unfiltered look at what it means to show up as the very best version of ourselves, ready and willing to be extraordinary as we serve our clients, our teams, our friends, and our families.

Many of us had the privilege of hearing Kevin share his story, The Hero Effect, at IIAV’s Annual Convention in 2018.  He captivated us then, and nearly two years later, his message still resonates.  We hope you’ll join us as he shares a new message, specific to the times we are facing, reminding us that what is taking place in the world around us does not define us, but offers the opportunity to truly make a difference when it matters most.     

Kevin has graciously agreed to join us for this conversation at no charge.  As a thank you, we encourage you to consider purchasing a t-shirt from Kevin’s website.  All profits will go toward COVID-19 relief.  We appreciate your support of this important initiative! If you purchase one, we encourage you to wear it for this session!
