She continues by sharing the ultimate personal responsibility mantra, inspired by her grandfather, "No one can make you think, act, feel or believe in any way you don't want to. Heather's three takeaways include for listeners looking to find their leadership growth: • Find trusted mentors: Find mentors who will give you open and honest feedback while having a vested interest in you and your development. • Don't be afraid to take risk: When taken with purpose, fear of failure dissipates, and opportunities to learn emerge. • Find your balance: Find the balance between working hard and seeking opportunities to promote / advocate for yourself. As an action item, Heather encourages listeners to find a trusted advisor and ask for feedback. It's essential to have a safe space to receive positive and constructive feedback which provides continued opportunities for improvement.

With the inter-connected nature of the global economy, M&A deals today frequently have international components. The transactional risk insurance markets have largely “split” by geography in terms of policy type, with “W&I” policies underwritten in Europe and Asia generally offering less robust coverage than “RWI” policies in North America. Some creative carriers have started to offer special “hybrid” policies to bridge the gulf in international deals and offer an integrated insurance solution that borrows from the best of both policy types with appropriate safeguards for insurers. In this episode, Bryan and Gena are joined by A.J. Kritzman, Senior Underwriter, Transactional Risk Insurance, Tokio Marine HCC, to discuss: • An overview of international transactional risk insurance • The key structural policy differences between “W&I” policies underwritten by carriers in Europe and Asia and “RWI” policies underwritten by North America carriers • The treatment of disclosures and scheduled items under each policy type • Current pricing trends for “W&I” and “RWI” • How Tokio Marine can design a hybrid policy borrowing elements of “W&I” and “RWI” for your next international transaction
