I had the honor of moderating a panel last week at the LBM strategies conference. My panel was called, "Chess versus checkers- how to win at the people strategy game". Our discussion leaned into the psychology of why people do what they do, and how you can leverage that knowledge to build a better workplace. If you're not paying attention to your people, someone else will. And, if you're losing good people, you can pretty much bet you're playing checkers. I want to take a minute and thank Amber, Dana, and Lindsey for their time to make this panel as insightful as we could. #lbmstrategies2024, Amber Little Dana Cowart Lindsey DiGangi CPCU, ARM, ARe

🌟 What Is Your Why? 🌟 At WLBM, we believe in the transformative power of knowing your why. It’s more than a reason; it’s the driving force behind every decision, every challenge you take on, and every milestone you reach. Your why fuels your growth, shapes your leadership, and empowers you to push boundaries. So, what is your why? Is it to create opportunities for others? To build a legacy of innovation and inclusion? To prove that no challenge is too big? Finding your why is the key to unlocking your potential. It gives purpose to your journey and clarity to your goals. When you align your actions with your why, you become unstoppable. We’re committed to helping women in the LBM industry discover and embrace their why—so that together, we can elevate ourselves, our industry, and future generations. So, ask yourself today: What is your why? Learn more about us by visiting www.WLBM.org. #WLBM #ProfessionalDevelopment #Growth
