Wynne Nowland of Bradley & Parker: How To Learn To Finally Love Yourself

Recently I, Wynne Nowland, had the pleasure of being interviewed by Authority Magazine on Learning How To Finally Love Yourself. The article does a wonderful job at sharing my experiences of how I grew into a leader, the challenges I faced with coming out, and more. The main points of the discussion were 5 strategies that I’ve implemented to maintain a connection with and love for myself. The first one is to identify your strengths and focus on making them stronger, and identify your weaknesses and try to correct them. This was actually on an old Honeymooners episode and it resonated with me when I first saw it as a child. It stuck with me ever since.

We also discussed why people struggle to love themselves as there are so many people who don’t like the way they look, why people tend to stay in mediocre relationships, why it’s important to self-reflect, and how many people don’t know how to be alone.

I think the last topic is something that a lot of people don’t think about until they’re a bit older. In my interview where I talk about how to be alone, I shared this: “With respect to relationships, so many people relationship up. They go from one to another without ever taking the time to be alone with themselves and self-reflective. And, unfortunately, I think that just leads to more relationship hopping. And even when in a secure relationship I think a long time is important. I think the ability to kind of entertain ourselves is crucial, whether that’s taking a run, watching a favorite TV show that you love that nobody else wants to tolerate, or losing yourself in a good book. All of those are good ways.”

SHRM Quotes SVP Joe Sellitto in an Article on Pooled Employer Plans

SHRM recently published an article on how pooled employer plans may give smaller organizations the advantages of a large 401(k). If you aren’t familiar, PEPs are retirement plans that allow unrelated businesses to join a single plan that’s set up and administered by a professional plan provider (PPP).

Joe Sellitto, Senior Vice President at Bradley & Parker, was quoted in the article on how PEPs provide small businesses with a way to access the same investment options as a larger company, but at a reduced cost and with a reduction in the employer’s fiduciary responsibilities. Visit the article for more information on how PEPs can provide better and less expensive investment options for participants.

SVP Joe Sellitto Pens an Article on Self-Funded Plans for NonProfit PRO

Joe Sellitto, Senior Vice President of Employee Benefits at Bradley & Parker, penned an article for NonProfit PRO about the value of self-funded plans for nonprofits. As Joe shares in the piece, the conventional wisdom in today’s health insurance marketplace holds that nonprofits shouldn’t consider a self-funded health insurance model because cash flow concerns make such a plan too risky. This notion is false, however. Nonprofits that transition to a self-funded plan will usually see a small cost savings in the first year, but over a five-year period, the savings can often be 20-40%.

So, how can a nonprofit decide if a self-funded medical program is right for their organization? It starts by working with a knowledgeable health insurance consultant who can properly guide them. Visit the article to learn more.
