WITI Leadership
Leadership Skills: Networking vs. Building Social Capital (Part 1 of 3)
By Marian Cook
Scholars have shown that having a wide circle of relationships is a common attribute of leaders. Taking a more monetized view, according to Thomas Stanley of Georgia State University, 80% of all millionaires are networkers. But in spite of this evidence, I, like many of you, hate 'networking.' It seemed so superficial when I would go to 'networking' events. The crowd was divided in to two groups: those that were furiously throwing business cards at each other trying to determine if somehow they could 'use' each other, and second, people like me that clung to the wall and the appetizers, and ran for the exit at the earliest possible moment.

WITI Personal Growth
How to Keep Your Strengths from Working Against You
By Jane Herman
Most people have heard the common wisdom that if you discover and align with your strengths you will be productive and successful. This belief comes with other corollaries including the following:
• You will excel by maximizing your strengths, not fixing your weaknesses; therefore you should spend your energy on building and honing your strengths
• It is ideal if you can create a role for yourself that draws on your strengths every day

Talking Price on Life Insurance
When we buy most things, price is often a deciding factor where we buy it. Why pay more for the same things? Indeed why, if you are comparing the same thing. Just look at these monthly, female, non-smoker life insurance rates:
| Coverage Age |
$1,000,000 |
$500,000 |
$250,000 |
$100,000 |
| 30 |
$21.88 |
$13.56 |
$8.97 |
$7.88 |
| 40 |
$28.88 |
$17.06 |
$10.72 |
$9.10 |
| 50 |
$69.13 |
$38.50 |
$21.44 |
$14.00 |
These are the rates for a 10 year term policy, based on a super preferred health class, which the majority of the public can not meet the underwriting requirements to buy.
The price certainly is right, but is this a good buy? Yes and No. Yes, it is an excellent buy if the need why you are buying life insurance will disappear within the 10 year period, like a student loan. No, it is a poor buy if that need continues and you are living after ten years. Term insurance is temporary. If you use term insurance for long term obligations, it will end up costing you more and finally be of little or no use to those you are trying to protect.
Are we against a person buying term insurance? Absolutely not! We sell term and lots of it. Term insurance is a great buy when it fits your need for insurance or is best for your immediate budget. Next time we will talk about how much life insurance do you need, what kind is best for you to buy and where to get the tools to do your own planning on this type of purchase. Life insurance is a major purchase. Let us give you the tools to plan for yourself and save money.

Upcoming Network Events
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
