Who's already feeling the love this year?  Everyone I to talk to in the business is really excited about trying some new strategies and implementing new systems.  We have shifted a couple of vendor relationships and are really excited about how much more efficient our office has become.  And that's one of the things that is great about meeting so many incredible people in our industry, whether it be through writing this series or attending conferences These peer-to-peer mentorship relationships I find are priceless.  This month, I'd like to introduce you to some real innovators in our industry. Meet Kristen, Heather and Pam.  Buckle up and get ready to be inspired!

Kristen Kaweck, MBA, iLAB

"Nine months ago, I received a master's degree in business administration while working full-time. My degree in Organizational Leadership has catapulted me into a new career and a new life. I left my previous job working for a health insurance carrier and began to offer products as an independent broker. In early December 2019, I built a website that offers international travel medical insurance products for individuals traveling outside their home country for work, play and study. I also started working full-time for a quality assurance testing company called iLAB in sales. I am on the Leadership and Operations staff for a professional womxn's* ultimate frisbee team in the Premier Ultimate League (PUL), called Indianapolis Red. I have played on Indy Red for the past two years, but unfortunately, will have to take a step back in 2020 to recover from a knee injury.
