Welcome to Let's Talk Legacy. I'm Gary Michaels, your host, founder of Southwestern Legacy Insurance Group. And today we have Tom Kaiser, the guest on the show. Tom Kaiser is the managing partner of Masterful Coaching, a renowned expert in the field of collaboration.

He also has a deep background in the insurance industry, both domestic and worldwide, with experience running large, complex global businesses, including serving as a top executive in Arkwright Insurance, Zurich Financial Solutions. He either built the business from the ground up, which is very interesting to me and our listeners, or transformed them into a dynamic industry leader.

So you helped transform that company into a billion dollar company.

Can you give some examples and talk about the importance of that for a leader to actually be there by their side doing it with them?
