What's the Scenario? with PLRB: Help! They Stole My Facebook Followers!

Presented By:

  • Tim Havlir, Coverage Counsel, PLRB
  • Alissha Watley, Sr. Meetings Manager, PLRB
  • Mike Brode, VP Educational and Technical Services, PLRB

In each episode of PLRB's new podcast "What's the Scenario? with PLRB", the PLRB team addresses a claims or coverage scenario and answers interesting insurance questions. In this live taping, they'll tackle this scenario: The two head pastors of a megachurch had a falling out. One pastor left to start his own ministry, but just before he did, he changed the megachurch's Facebook password. He now has exclusive control of the account and sole access to the 100k+ followers, so the church filed a theft claim with its first-party insurer. Is this a direct physical loss to the church's property? Are Facebook followers even "property" with any means of valuation? Subscribe anywhere podcasts can be found, or check us out on YouTube.

The Three F's of Solid Leadership

Presented By: Troy Shaw, VP of Customer Experience, Alacrity Solutions

Over his 14 years on the adjusting side of things, Troy has observed a drastic turnover of people and a comfort level with reduced integrity. Furthermore, the workforce has taken such a drastic turn downward, every effort to attract and maintain a productive workforce is paramount. Troy's experience is that there are 3 F's that are needed for this to happen: Managers must be Fair... Firm... Friendly!

Connections Beyond the Virtual Arena

Presented By: Mary Anne Medina, Regional Director Business Development, Charles Taylor Engineering Technical Services

New life has been breathed into live, face to face meetings and interactions. There is a new reinvigorated push in the industry. We have emerged from the virtual world that we were forced to establish and have come back even stronger to the realization that the need for human relationships and in-person connections is real. The use of AI has been revolutionary in the insurance industry by enabling timesaving automation, optimizing claims handling processes, developing customer engagement practices and much more. However, the need for humans is a vital necessity.

The Power of Authenticity

Presented By: Terence Kadlec, P.E., Vice President Engineering & Specialty Services, MC Consultants, Inc.

"We often underestimate the value and power of authenticity in who we are personally, and professionally. How we are perceived by others hinges on who we are to the core, how we maintain ourselves as people, and how we present ourselves to others." In this talk, Terence Kadlec will explore integrity, character, and credibility in the context of his experience as a subject matter expert.
