John Hancock Honors Margaret Bradshaw, CLU, at The American College
BRYN MAWR, PA (ContentDesk) July 5, 2005 -- The American College, the nation's leading financial services educator, announced today that an academic office on its in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania campus has been named in honor of Margaret I. Bradshaw, CLU, by the John Hancock Life Insurance Company.
John Hancock is honoring Bradshaw for her pioneering role in insurance and her years of exemplary service to the company.
The office dedication ceremony recently took place in MDRT Foundation Hall.Bradshaw earned her Chartered Life Underwriter? (CLU?) designation from The College in 1931. "When I began in the insurance field, none of the general agents had CLUs and they didn't have an appreciation for the designation.
It's different today," said Bradshaw.
Bradshaw, who celebrated her 100th birthday this year, was one of the first women to ever earn the professional credential and the first woman in Rhode Island to earn a CLU.
She was a well-respected insurance professional who taught the CLU curriculum at a time when nearly all the students were men. Bradshaw developed a reputation as an effective salesperson, and was offered a position with John Hancock at a time when there were very few women in the field.
Throughout her professional career she excelled in areas where many of her male counterparts did not."We thank John Hancock for its support of the American College and join them in honoring Margaret.
Her trailblazing spirit advanced the presence and acceptance of women in the financial services industry and elevated recognition of the significant business contributions women make to the productivity and profitability of companies," said Dr. Larry Barton, President and Chief Executive Officer for The American College. James M. Benson, CLU, President and Chief Executive Officer of John Hancock Life Insurance Company participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony honoring Bradshaw."At John Hancock, we have had the honor of Margaret's leadership and presence for many years," said Benson. "It is only fitting that we reflect some of that honor back to her, while we support The American College which has so enriched our industry."A sundial garden on the campus also was dedicated to Bradshaw in September of 2004.
It serves as a symbol of her love for The American College. "The American College has been instrumental in making insurance a profession," said Bradshaw.

The one thing you Can't Do
When it relates to success there are a TON of sayings, philosophies, strategies, ideas, and or concepts...I will never claim I have the definitive one, ever, but this one is near the top.
I guarantee you this one concept, if applied, will change your life.
This applies to all areas of your life, and I think balance is massively important.
The people who seek great wealth tend to have a poor quality of life, but the people who seek quality of life are the wealthiest people I know.
It's unfortunate, and I have been there, how we can get preoccupied with one area of life and all the other areas suffer.
So keep this in mind as you apply this concept.
I think all of us who are into personal development know of this idea that; your mind only dreams the things that you can achieve, and once you believe your dream all kinds of events will come together to make it happen for you.
There is a theory that what you want moves...

How to Understand Health Standards for Long Term Care Insurance Enrollment
Copyright (c) 2006 Clay Cotton
Long term care insurance conforms to the basic insurance mechanism, in that the individual risk of future peril is shared by a pool of people who currently are free from that peril.
The insurance pool is represented by the insurance company which sets eligibility standards for enrollment to ensure a hazard-free pool, so that actuaries can calculate reasonable, standardized premiums for pool members who meet the eligibility requirements and enroll in the risk pool. In this way, members transfer their individual risk of peril to the pool.
The pool shares the risk for all members and covers those whom actually experience the future peril.
If you are thinking about applying for a long term care insurance policy, please be aware that certain pre-existing health conditions can make it impossible for some folks to enroll due to health reasons. If you have any health issues, this article can help you better understand...

Does Work/Life Balance Really Exist?
Copyright 2006 Donna Gunter
If you look at almost any issue of nationally published women's magazines, you'll find article upon article trying to convince the American public (and American women) that you can have it all -- a brilliant career/business and a marvelous family life -- and then follow with instructions on how you can accomplish this easily.
I am just not buying into this train of thought.
In order for most successful business people to get where they want to be in their businesses, something has to go.
For me, it's been a personal life.
As a single woman of 40 with no children and no significant other on the horizon, I've got much more flexibility than most.
I can make a conscious decision to forego some aspect of my life on a shorter-term basis to reach my goals.
Most of us aren't quite that lucky, however.
You have children you have to get dressed and to school each day, or a spouse who needs...
