🎯 "The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." – Michelangelo This quote couldn’t resonate more as we reflect on the incredible deep-dive sessions we’ve had with Abbas Raza this week. Abbas has brought not only his extensive expertise to the ReFocus AI team but also a renewed focus on aiming higher—challenging us to think bigger and push boundaries as we refine our vision and strategies. At ReFocus, we believe true progress comes when you stretch beyond what feels comfortable. Leadership, like Abbas has shown, isn’t just about solving today’s problems—it’s about asking the right questions and setting ambitious goals that make an impact for years to come. 💡 Key Takeaways from this week’s sessions: 👓 Vision is Everything: Set goals that scare you a little—they’re usually the ones worth chasing. 🤝 Collaboration Powers Innovation: Big ideas come to life when diverse perspectives come together. 🚀 Leadership Inspires Confidence: A shared purpose energizes the entire team. As we work toward helping agencies and carriers achieve transformative efficiency and retention, we’re inspired by leaders like Abbas who guide us to not just hit our mark but to continually raise it.

🌨️ When Life Gives You Snow, You Focus on Relationships! 🍗🔥 As the snow piled up in Erie, PA for the team last week, they decided to lean into the moment—Abbas Raza led us straight to a spicy bonding session over some incredible tandoori chicken. (His official welcome present was a 1ft of snow in ERIE) ❄️ The food warmed us up, but the real heat came from the conversations, laughs, and connections we shared. And here’s the lesson: relationships matter. 🤝 In the insurance world, client retention is about more than just renewals—it’s about building trust and showing up for your clients, even when it’s not about the business. Just like strong teams, strong client relationships thrive when you: ✅ Go beyond the transaction – Take time to know your clients as people. ✅ Create memorable moments – Personal connections strengthen loyalty. ✅ Show consistency – Being there (even when it’s unexpected) builds trust for the long haul. When clients feel valued, they don’t just stick around—they grow with you. So, ask yourself: how are you showing up for your clients beyond the paperwork?
