4 Reasons Insurance Professionals Benefit From Toastmasters

Are you stuck in a cubical or strapped to a wired headset in a call center? It can sometimes seem impossible to network while managing job responsibilities and your unhappy customers.

Quite frankly, I imagine you leave some customer conversations and seek blissful solitude. However, isolation can be detrimental to future opportunities.

A corporate Toastmasters club is a great way to network with other people in your company. Through Toastmasters, I’ve made connections in Claims, Underwriting, IT, Accounting, Human Resources, Analytics and more.

When I was working entry level in 2011 (and dying to promote), I rarely had an opportunity to network. Work force management scheduled me for incoming claim calls ALL DAY… again. This is where my corporate Toastmasters club saved the day!

Once a week, I used my lunch hour and got to know folks around the building. When those next promotional job opportunities opened? I wasn’t just another resume in the stack. I was Samantha, that cool chick from Toastmasters.
