    One of the greatest discoveries I’ve had with tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot is that you don’t have to spend tons of money learning how to use these tools. The tools can teach you themselves… you just have to ask the right questions. I’ll be sharing exactly what prompts to use to learn GenAI during an upcoming webinar for marketers in the insurance industry on December 3rd. If you’re in the insurance industry and have access to LIMRA then check it out!

    Supporting independent advisors with industry leading business building solutions

    Yesterday, we held our Annual Women’s Day in Calgary where we got to bring together some of our top female advisors and carrier partners, to spend the day networking, collaborating, learning and having ‘fierce conversations.’  I’m so proud of the team we have in Alberta that helped organize and pull off such an incredible event. Melanie Galka, Pamela Boyko, ★ Amanda Munroe, ֎Jennifer B., ✨Lori Deeprose And of course, a special thank you to our special guest speakers Christine Wilson, Trudy Pelletier, FEA, CEPA, CEC and Andrea Holwegner, RD, CEO, as well as our panel speakers Jill Pickrell and Kelsie Lenton CFP CLU CHS. We were also able to raise over $1,200 for the great local charity Made By Momma, that helps mothers facing adversity and crisis with a variety of services, to allow them the time needed to rest, recover, and focus on their families and their health! #indispensable #benchstrength

    DID YOU KNOW that LinkedIn (aka Microsoft) has recently defaulted all LinkedIn user accounts to automatically allow your personal data and content to be used as training material for AI. For advisors who actively share personal insights or participate on LinkedIn as a thought leader, you may want to take a moment to review these recent data privacy changes. In the attached image you can see where to access the Generative AI approval setting under Data Privacy:
