What can we do to further champion greater inclusion and diversity in insurance recruitment? Will we eventually see an even gender split at the board table across our industry, and how can we accelerate progress towards this end? In this episode, we are thrilled to be speaking with Dame Inga Beale about her illustrious, globetrotting insurance career! In conversation with  Sandra Lewin, Inga elucidates the importance of retaining and promoting women in the insurance world, and the role both individuals and companies can play in facilitating this. She recommends the PIE model for women seeking senior roles, and offers advice for those seeking to establish stronger networks.   Quote of the Episode “Many women are choosing to [leave the corporate world], and I absolutely get it, because they are fed up with the things that go on sometimes in the workplace of big corporations… I decided I needed to really start being serious about trying to keep women in the world of insurance, promote women in the world of insurance. [We need to] be proactive, have targets, have quotas. Companies can set their own targets and measure against them just like any other business targets.” During the episode, Inga provides an anecdote about a close friend who was a senior executive for a Swiss bank, who chose to leave that role due to the inequality she identified against women in the workplace, and the microaggressions they were subjected to. Whilst Inga recognises why many women choose to become entrepreneurs and leave the corporate world behind, she argues that if others follow suit, who will remain to break down the barriers for other women to enter these businesses and ascend the ranks? Inga suggests that women need to stay in the corporate world and fight the good fight, actively pushing for increased inclusivity, ensuring that women are recruited and promoted, with targets and quotas to ensure this if necessary.   Key Takeaways Many women don't wish to be seen as token hires, offered opportunities or promotions simply for the sake of inclusivity targets. Inga argues that this hesitance should be set aside. She herself was selected for a more senior position whilst working at General Electric on this basis. As a result of that opportunity, she built a hugely successful career. For Inga, instituting programmes that encourage women, taking people management and gender equality seriously, are essential for effectuating long-lasting change. If targets or quotas are not upheld to ensure that companies recruit and promote women, the gender disparity within insurance may endure. For women seeking senior insurance roles, Inga recommends the PIE model (Performance, Image, Exposure). For your efforts to be recognised within your company, it's not enough to do your job well (Performance). You must also interrogate how you come across to others (Image). The only way to know this is to ask others: request feedback about how you are perceived in the workplace, and on this basis begin to develop the image you wish to project. The more accurate and personal the feedback you receive, the better. How you are perceived within your company and to external onlookers is crucial if you want to get ahead. As you begin to climb the ladder of seniority within a company, your network will become increasingly important (Exposure). Hiring managers typically consider the candidates they recognise before anyone else. To get your name on the list of known candidates, you have to do strategic marketing, making yourself known to important figures within your company and in the broader market. Exposure is perhaps the most important factor in the PIE model if you are determined to reach a senior position. Whilst networking can be very uncomfortable, you never know what doors it might open for you. Furthermore, you can network regardless of the level you are at within an organisation. Requesting to work on cross-departmental projects, or going to events and seeking out the people you don't know, can all prove highly fruitful in raising your profile across the industry. Many people find networking hugely daunting. Inga suggests that having a few specific questions lined up before approaching someone can be really helpful for having meaningful conversations. Additionally, it's key to project confidence in these environments. It's key to give yourself enough airtime in networking conversations, whilst also being inquisitive; actively asking others questions and listening their opinions. To ensure that you persevere, consider setting yourself a goal – introducing yourself to ten new people, for example.   Best Moments/Key Quotes “There were centuries where men were the only choice. [It was a] 100% [recruitment] quota for men. We need to kickstart the change to get equality going. And that's what we need to keep doing because we're still not making fast enough progress.”   “You can't just sit there and do a fantastic job. You have to do a good job, but that is not it, you [also] have to think about your image, you have to think about how you're coming across to others. And the only way you actually know your image is to ask other people.”   “You have to do the networking. Sometimes it's the most uncomfortable. And depending what level you are in organisation, you might not be networking with CEOs, but you can even ask your manager to open some doors for you. You can volunteer to do cross-department work projects… Make sure you go to events and seek out the people that you don't know. This is hard work, particularly for introverts. It's not necessarily very comfortable. But I can assure you it pays off.”   Resources Insurance Supper Club: https://www.isc-group.co/en-gb/home   About the Guest Dame Inga Beale is a prolific insurance executive with over 40 years of experience in global financial services.

Listen to the new season of Life Beyond Sport as host Nick Keller is joined by the former CEO of Lloyd's of London, Dame Inga Beale, to discuss the three sporting moments that have defined her life.

We all know about the protection gap and financial sustainability and resilience goals for the developing world set by global bodies such as the World Bank and the United Nations. We also know about the massive growth potential of many emerging economies and the role the insurance industry can play in enabling and accelerating its development. This episode goes into the detail of how to approach this major opportunity and answers some common questions and upends many common misconceptions. How much is insurance understood in developing nations? Is it seen simply as aid? Also how well are its strengths understood by donor nations? Should this kind of insurance be aiming for profit from day one, or should it be more patient? How do we overcome modelling gaps and potentially crippling distribution costs in some of these nations? Will the realities of harder international markets and Covid 19 put development goals on the back burner? To answer these questions it was a great privilege to be joined by Dame Inga Beale and Lesley NdLovu of the African Risk Capacity Group (ARC). Both have pioneered work in this field and give a strong and practical flavour to this podcast. I highly recommend a listen. It might convince you that far from being just corporate social responsibility and the right thing to do, this is actually one of the brightest long-term opportunities in the global insurance market. Today's special episode has been organised by the Commonwealth Insurance Forum – the CIF and kindly sponsored by the ARC. Set up in September 2019 the Forum was co-founded and is chaired by London market veteran Francis de Zulueta of Alpine Risk Alpine Risk currently manages the CIF. Co founded with Robert Lyle, co-founder of specialist London broker BPL, this not-for-profit organisation is seeking to ignite and accelerate insurance collaboration at all levels between the members of the 54-nation Commonwealth with the added support of the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council. The Commonwealth Insurance Forum has been formed as the UK is deepening and rapidly accelerating global trade links within the Commonwealth after leaving the European Union and will seek to build insurance co-operation, education and networking based on the common legal and cultural ties that bind the global Commonwealth of Nations together for the mutual benefit of all members.

I am delighted to be joined today by Dame Inga Beale, former CEO of Lloyds of London. She has also been Group CEO of Canopius, an insurance company with it's principal operations at Lloyds, a member of the Global Management Board of Zurich Insurance Group in Switzerland and Group CEO of Swiss reinsurer Coverium. She was awarded her Damehood in 2017 for services to the UK economy and for playing a critical role in advancing diversity and inclusion initiatives across the global insurance sector. Dame Inga Beale also holds non-executive roles on the boards of Clyde & Co, Crawford & Company and is Chair of Mediclinic International and Deputy Chair of London First. Her philanthropic interests include being a member of the Pitt Rivers Museum Advisory Board at Oxford University.

Dame Inga Beale has over 38 years of experience in the global financial services sector and she was awarded Damehood in 2017 for her services to the UK economy during her five-year tenure as CEO of Lloyd's of London, which was her final executive role. In this episode, Dame Inga shares her love for the insurance industry and what insurance companies need to do differently to stay ahead of the curve and best navigate the challenging risks ahead.   Key Takeaways Dame Inga shares a bit about her background and how she found the insurance industry. As Dame Inga started her career, she had the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures. There is so much beauty in working with and understanding other cultures in business. Dame Inga still doesn't see a lot of women in leadership roles. It feels like we're making progress by talking about it, but the women just aren't there. COVID-19 has helped us embrace technology. People have a preconceived notion of what insurance is, so it's important we tell the story in a very positive way because insurance is there to help put people's lives back together. People at Lloyds were very fearful of losing their jobs with the incorporation of new technology. When Dame Inga discovered this, she brought in active participation from the team so that everyone could see the benefits of the change. There will be a technology push. Insurance needs to keep up or else we'll be failing dramatically. News of a pandemic was not new. We knew it could be a possibility, but we didn't do anything about it to prepare for it! What does Dame Inga look for when considering to join and consult for an organization? We have to keep moving forward! What does Dame Inga wish she had known before getting started?   Keep Getting Better Cpcusociety.org Lloyds.com Dame Inga Beale on LinkedIn   Quotes   “People have a vision of what insurance is like, but when they understand a bit more about the social purpose, how it puts people's lives back together whenever something goes wrong, then they realize what an important part of the global economy insurance is.”   “We've got to get on top of this. We've got to get our arms around all these new risks out there, and make sure we're providing what the clients need. Because if we're not, we're going to be failing dramatically.”   “We have to keep moving forward. I don't want the insurance industry to be stuck in the past and left behind. We must make sure we keep modernizing.”

In this episode I talk to Dame Inga Beale, most recently CEO of Lloyds of London, about her leadership, her learning and her legacy.

In January of 2014, Dame Inga Beale became the first female CEO of Lloyds of London with the daunting task of modernization. Beale inherited arguably the most iconic insurance brand in the world made up of 99 syndicates with operations in over 200 countries and gross written premiums of more than £35bn pounds. Beale spoke to Michael Coles, founder and Managing Partner of Cedent, and host of the podcast, Cedent Chronicles about her legacy at Lloyds and what ideas she has for the industry today.

Dame Inga Beale is a British businesswoman and the former CEO of Lloyd’s of London. A leading figure in the global insurance and reinsurance market for five years, Inga announced her departure from the role in June 2018, after overseeing numerous important cultural changes in the company. In December 2013, Inga was announced as the new CEO of Lloyd’s of London, the first woman to be promoted to this position in over three centuries of the company’s history. Throughout her career, Inga has been a strong proponent of inclusion and equality in the workplace, which contributed to her particular success in addressing numerous problems within Lloyd’s of London regarding chauvinism. Inga was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for her services to the economy.

Three years ago Britain voted in a referendum to leave the European Union by 52 to 48 per cent. The country remains divided and in the EU elections last month many voters rejected the Conservative and Labour Party. Yesterday we spoke to two female MEPs elected last month for the new Brexit Party which benefited from the votes of frustrated Leave supporters. The Liberal Democrats, who back another referendum, were the major beneficiary of the Remain vote seeing their numbers grow from one to 16 seats in the new parliament. And, the Greens who have increasingly been seen, especially by some women voters, as an appealing alternative have also seen their vote share increase – taking seven seats this time. Irina von Wiese is a Lib Dem MEP for the London region and Alexandra Phillips is a Green MEP for the South East of England region. With the opening session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg next week, we ask what they hope to do in a job they are due to vacate when the UK leaves the EU on October 31st. Dame Inga Beale was the first female CEO of Lloyds of London- she was there for five years until the end of last year. She's now left the job but made a speech in Cambridge recently in which she said “quotas and targets in all sorts of areas” are needed. She tells us why.Presented by Jane Garvey Produced by Jane ThurlowInterviewed guest: Leah Hazard Interviewed guest: Rebecca Reid Interviewed guest: Irina von Wiese Interviewed guest: Alex Philips Interviewed guest: Inga Beale Interviewed guest: Meaghan Beatley
