How to Embrace Women in Power

In my career in the Insurance Industry, most of my managers have been women, but the role these ladies played in shaping me as an individual and in this industry is phenomenal. I still remember my first day at a Big Corporate Insurance Firm, I was so nervous because the unknown made me doubt what I can offer and bring to the table so that this Company can see my worth. I was met with a friendly smile, an understanding nod, and firm handshake and at that moment I realized that we are all human and if you want to excel in your believes and your dreams you have to hold on to your core that makes you – YOU

There is no place for self-doubt but there is always room to learn, grow, and use the knowledge you have gained and rise above the challenge’s life will give you. I have been in this industry since 2003 and the choices we make and how we build and shape our future with the opportunities these choices bring us to define who we are as an individual. In all these years I have met a woman, that truly is an inspiration, a motivator, a mentor and a person with so much determination that one cannot help but to stand back for a moment and say: “ Wow this is somebody I want to work and be associated with” 

One draws so much strength and knowledge from her, not just out of a business point of view but also personally.

To have someone believing so much in their own self-worth and building a business from the ground up to a successful entity in a “man’s world” needs to be applauded. Building Excel Recovery Services was no easy task, but Alma used the bricks that others have thrown at her and build a firm foundation.

She can say with pride that we are turning 13 this year and we have over 20 staff members that have the same beliefs and drive to take this company to the next level.

To build a company out of nothing one needs to: 

Imagine with all your mind.

Believe with all your heart.

Achieve with all your might. 

This can be true for anyone, but so much more for a woman with so much conviction to live her life and influence so many others to believe in themselves and grow as an individual. To Alma Darlington and all other women that were faced with their own Everest and Summited, you are truly an inspiration to all!!
