Her Interview
Ten minutes with Morgan
01What do you attribute your success to?
Putting myself in uncomfortable situations that allow me to grow. This attribute speaks to my personal and professional life.
-And-
Never give up. Successful people are the ones who don't give up and do whatever it takes.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
As a young woman, just don't be afraid to not only speak up for yourself, but other women too. I think I experienced that pretty quick out of college. I had a scenario where a boss wasn't being very nice to one of my colleagues, and I stuck up for her. As women, we have to stick together!
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Biggest opportunity is innovation. The same people, same advisors have been in the insurance field for a really long time. There's a new wave of advisors coming into this world, and it's really exciting to have a fresh take and bring technology and strategic solutions to companies.
Biggest challenge in this field is because it's changing so rapidly, you really have to stay on top of things. It's a very competitive space, so you gain clients as quick as you lose them, so it's just a cat and mouse game.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Values in work life is communication, I harp on it all the time. I think it's really easy to communicate in today's world, so just being a really strong communicator, I think is important, and one of my strong suits. And then in my personal life, I'm a very loyal individual. My network are MY people, and the people I like being surrounded by. So I think both of those values bleed into each other.
