How mentorship supports professional development in insurance industry

At Acera Insurance, we put our people first.

One way we do this is by encouraging organic mentorship relationship, which empowers mentees to seek guidance from their seasoned colleagues on industry trends, career development and problem solving.

Members of our team recently shared with Alberta Broker magazine how their mentorship relationships have helped to bolster their careers.

Mentorship can help boost confidence

Kelly Ann Parrot, Acera Insurance’s Director of Learning and Development, is credited with helping her mentee see her own professional potential.

“[Kelly] is my biggest supporter, holds me accountable for my actions and nudges me to see the best in myself.”

Rashmi Mashi, a former client executive with Acera Insurance

Mentorship can help make you a stronger leader

Speaking of her mentor, Bruce Rabik, Acera Insurance’s Chief Operating Officer, Anna Rickard told Alberta Broker magazine:

“I would say that becoming a leader and understanding how I work and develop my team has been a challenge as a young leader. Having wisdom of my older generation from an unbiased position has helped me relate and grow with all generations within my teams.”
