Michael McCord references a quote by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami: "Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional." This is very much in alignment with the basic noble truths of Zen and yet can be so elusive in the moments we inhabit.How do we live into a future where we hold the discomforts, annoyances, turmoil and pain of our existence in altogether different way? What can I do today or tomorrow?

Stopping Burnout

Michael McCord discusses how one might stop the momentum of burn out.The Buddha lived a life of extreme luxury and then dove head-long into asceticism for many years, only to come to the realization that a balanced life was where harmony could be found. His story is a road map for modern life full of pursuit, accomplishment and acquisition. Even when a person buys-in to the concept of equanimous living, it doesn't mean that the momentum of a life will change that much. Since we live in our bodies and minds (actually these are joined but appear different much of the time), second by second, and that IS our life, how does the way I have put my life together actually work for me?

Michael McCord: what does Zen elucidate about who we are if there is "no self"? A machine is looked at as a soulless collection of fallible parts that are subject to decay and failure. How is this different from the Zen concept of the self, an unfixed ever changing collection of matter with no permanent properties that eventually falls apart? And why does it matter?

Young Urban Zen SF

Michael McCord: in a world with so much suffering, how can a person (should a person?) be joyful? Is this not taking the cares of the world seriously? And in the face of so many existential threats (pandemics, climate change, political polarization, wars, etc.) - what is the appropriate way to live a life that is responsible, connected and thriving?We'll unpack this from the context of Zen Buddhist principles. Since Buddhism has at its core the concept of "liberation", one shouldn't have to wait until some distant time in the future to exhale and set down the baggage of the world, and find ways to live into mini-liberations all along the way.

In the insightful blog post titled "Unlocking Organizations by Moving from Critique to Curiosity," Skot Waldron engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Michael McCord, an expert in organizational development. The blog post delves into the transformative power of curiosity within organizations and how it can foster growth, collaboration, and innovation. McCord highlights the limitations of a critique-driven culture, emphasizing the need for a shift towards a more curious mindset where individuals and teams approach challenges with an open, inquisitive attitude. Paragraph 2: Throughout the blog post, McCord explores the key principles and practices of curiosity that can unlock the potential of organizations. He emphasizes the importance of active listening, asking thoughtful questions, and embracing diverse perspectives. By encouraging individuals to adopt a curious mindset, organizations can create an environment that values learning, experimentation, and open dialogue. McCord also underscores the role of leaders in cultivating a safe and supportive space that encourages curiosity and empowers team members to take risks and explore new ideas. Paragraph 3: The blog post concludes by highlighting the profound impact of a curious culture on organizational success. McCord explains how curiosity drives innovation, problem-solving, and adaptability, enabling organizations to thrive in an ever-changing landscape. By embracing curiosity, organizations can tap into the diverse knowledge and perspectives of their team members, fostering collaboration and creating an environment that encourages continuous improvement. McCord's insights serve as a valuable reminder that by moving away from a critique-driven approach and embracing curiosity, organizations can unlock their full potential and achieve long-term success.

Now, looking solely at the title of this episode, one might deduce that Michael McCord grew up extremely wealthy; so wealthy he even had an Englishman in livery to answer his home phone for him. But like any good clickbait story, the truth is buried under the headline (and usually has a boring explanation you have to click 8 links to find). Despite living in the information age, finding the truth can be a daunting task, and one we don't often have the time to do. So how do we deal with information, misinformation and disinformation?

What is Microinsurance and Why Are You Missing 80% of The Market? With Michael McCord

IN-the-Know

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 18, 2021 31:13


Michael McCord is a Principal and Managing Director at the MicroInsurance Centre in Milliman's Appleton, WI office. With over 25 years in the industry, Michael saw a growing demand for insurance for low-income individuals, but very few resources to support them. This market is vastly underserved because their needs are different. When thinking about how to service this demographic, the insurance industry needs to take on a complete paradigm shift. Michael explains why in this week's episode. Ā  Key Takeaways A little bit about Michael and what he does for Milliman. Very quickly, Michael realized that when low-income people did better and started moving up the ladder, a small disaster would occur, and they were right back on the breadline. When Michael, who has spent time throughout Africa, went to suggest the concept of insurance to help the people of Uganda, his idea was rejected. Michael has spoken to different types of executives in this field, the reason why so many companies target the ā€œupper marketā€ is because they don't know how to access this lower-margin market and help more people. How do you define microinsurance? Selling insurance to low-income people has a lot of moving pieces. This means you have to be on the ground and talking to people to really understand their unique challenges. Michael lists some of the challenges with serving this particular market segment. There are four pillars to making microinsurance successful. Michael shares a bit of back story as to why. The reality is, there isn't enough money in these policies. The margins are low, but you make up for it in volume. Is there more of an acceptance from regulators on the need for microinsurance? Michael shares an example of why a freemium model doesn't work in this space. Michael breaks down how the insurance industry has to think differently for this demographic by sharing some common challenges people are running into, and how microinsurance helps fill that gap. Michael is doing a women's risk insurance profile in Kenya. He shares some of his insights so far. Climate change is a real problem. Michael is seeing first-hand the impacts of it and the people who deeply depend on agriculture to survive. What does Michael wish he'd known about at the beginning of his career? Ā  Keep Getting Better Frm.milliman.com Michael on LinkedIn Ā  Quotes Ā  ā€œMicroinsurance is specifically designed for low-income people. This is an active piece of the insurance continuum.ā€ Ā  ā€œWe're going to do a $500 policy for low-income people. How do we operationally do that differently? It's a paradigm shift. Low-income people need money within hours, [not days/weeks].ā€ Ā  ā€œWe have to define microinsurance with regulators, how to distribute it, who can distribute it, what technology they can use. We need to get all four of those pieces and if we don't do a piece of that, then it will always fail.ā€
