Networking, Education & Personal/Professional Development for the Forward-Thinking Actuary
The world is changing. Fast. To continue to succeed, we can't afford to stay still. To thrive, we must continually be improving - both professionally and personally. We must master the art of learning and maintain a growth mindset.
Developing a 'growth mindset' and ‘Learning to learn’ efficiently and effectively are key skills in this ultra-competitive world. Not just for passing actuarial exams, but for lifelong upskilling.
We need to improve our ability to cut through the noise, make optimal decisions, work efficiently, avoid distraction and learn to ‘hack’ the system—all whilst staying healthy and sane!
Psychology, technology, awareness, smart learning, leverage and a commitment to lifelong study are key tools in this battle.
Opportunities and choices are everywhere. We are overloaded with information and distraction. Focus is the new currency.
Technology, InsurTech, big data, data science, blockchain, machine learning, AI, IoT, etc. All these things are changing the world, at an ever-increasing rate. Actuaries should keeping aware of, embracing and taking advantage of these opportunities.
We are all in the game of marketing and sales. We increasingly need to effectively sell our employer, our ideas and ourselves. Effective networking is more crucial than ever.
These are things ProActuary aims to help with. If this sounds interesting, read on...
