As the one-year mark of this seemingly relentless pandemic in the United States has come and gone, business owners and executives are considering the insurance industry’s likely response to this time of economic turmoil. CEO Wynne Nowland penned an article for Financial Executives International (FEI) about how businesses will be seeking pandemic-type insurance in the future. In the article, Wynne explains how it’s doubtful there will be a wholesale change for insurance coverage in this current pandemic, but it’s possible, and even likely, coverage will be offered for this type of loss moving forward. In fact, something similar happened after 9/11 when the government backed insurers in providing separate terrorist coverage for businesses.
“Once you have come to the conclusion that this is who you are … don’t delay.” That’s the biggest lesson CEO Wynne Nowland learned through her gender transition in mid-2017, as she shared with Jade Scipioni, senior reporter at CNBC, during their interview to discuss her coming out story.
If you aren’t familiar, it wasn’t until a few weeks after her 56th birthday in 2017 and four months after promotion to CEO that Wynne had an “awakening” and decided she couldn’t hide her true self any longer.
“It was kind of a progression. At one point, if you had asked me “Do you think you’ll ever do this?” my answer would have been, “No, never.” Then at some point it became, “Well, maybe I could do this,” to “I can do this” to “I’m going to do this.”
Wynne’s advice for people going through a similar life change is consistent: I think it’s important to avail yourself of the professional help that’s out there to help guide you through what can be a confusing time. But once you’ve come to the conclusion that this is who you are, don’t delay. Because that’s my biggest regret. I waited until I was 56 to do this. However, I do give myself a little wiggle room there because I was brought up in a far different time.
