  • Rising Customer Expectations
  • Workforce Retention
  • Regulatory Pressures
  • Adapting to AI and Tech Disruption
  • Maintaining Culture in Change
  • Rising Customer Expectations

    It’s not just about policies, it’s about building trust with customers and

    across distributed teams.

    Insurance customers now expect faster responses, seamless digital experiences, and real-time transparency. But internal systems, and team capacity, don’t always match the pace of expectation.

  • Workforce Retention

    People are burning out.

    And moving on.

    From frontline claims adjusters to senior underwriters, the talent shortage is real. Keeping people motivated, loyal, and connected to purpose is harder than ever, especially during uncertainty and in a hybrid or remote environment.

  • Regulatory Pressures

    You're expected to innovate,

    while staying inside the lines.

    New rules, rising scrutiny, and shifting federal and state requirements make every decision feel high-stakes. Your team needs the mindset to adapt quickly without sacrificing standards.

  • Adapting to AI and Tech Disruption

    The technology is advancing faster

    than the team’s readiness.

    From underwriting automation to AI-enhanced customer service, insurance organizations are investing heavily in innovation. But many teams aren’t prepared for what those changes mean to how they work, and lead.

  • Maintaining Culture in Change

    Mergers. Reorgs. Growth.

    Everything’s in motion.

    Companies are changing constantly. Whether you’re integrating teams or scaling fast, culture can’t be an afterthought. It’s either a competitive advantage or a silent threat.

Key trends and opportunities Alden Helps as a motivational Sales Speaker

Sales Fatigue and Burnout

 
Your team is tired, and they should be.
 
After back-to-back quarters of stretch goals, reorgs, or economic uncertainty, energy dips. Your people don’t just need motivation, they need to believe they have more to give and they need to be shown how to do it.

Plateaued Performance

 
You’ve got talent. But they’re stuck.
 
When the effort is high but results aren’t showing, something deeper is off. Alden helps uncover and shift the blocks that stall progress, and reignite action.

New Leaders, New Structure

 
You’ve restructured. But people are still adjusting.

Whether you’ve promoted frontline managers or rolled out a new go-to-market model, change always disrupts rhythm. Sales leaders need to show up strong, and help their teams do the same.

Culture Misalignment

 
You say one thing, but the team feels something else.

When culture starts to drift, trust drops. And without trust, performance suffers. Alden helps teams reconnect with mission, ownership, and each other.

Need for a Real Catalyst

 
You don’t want another sales speaker. You want a shift.

You’re not just trying to check a box. You want your team talking about this keynote a year from now, because it changed how they show up and act.

Testimonials from Alden Mills as an Insurance Keynote Speaker

“Outstanding!  Alden spoke to our leadership team at a time when inspiration and drive were imperative. His ability to transfer the discipline of being a SEAL and that of the entrepreneur was AMAZING!  He did an unbelievable job in preparing everyone to roll up their sleeves and charge through the remainder of the year with absolute commitment. I would highly recommend Alden to anyone who is looking to take their business to the next level!”
State Farm
Senior Vice President
“I cannot tell you how impressed I was with your ability to captivate our 200 person audience last month in Scottsdale. As I stood on the side of the room during your presentation, I was struck by how mesmerized the attendees were with your leadership/team building messaging, real life storytelling to drive home your point, and with your obvious enthusiasm for sharing your experiences and delivering great benefit to the business owners (team leaders) in attendance."
ISU Insurance Agency Network
CEO
"Alden captured the Audience for the full 90 minutes and found a perfect balance between the "technical lessons" about teamwork and becoming unstoppable with a very personal and moving storytelling ability, He also graciously stayed around and spoke with anyone who wanted to say high and ask follow up questions. His willingness to put in the prep time to understand EPIC, our goals and our industry language was so important."
EPIC Insurance
CEO
“I originally saw Alden Mills give a keynote speech at a United Way of NYC event, and immediately knew I wanted to engage him for my own team’s annual conference. I am a Managing Partner at a public accounting firm specializing in the Financial Services industry. I had only one scoping call with Alden, from which he was able to create a dynamic and motivational presentation for our conference. What I was most impressed with was his ability to take key themes provided in our prep call and weave them into minutiae details of his presentation – ultimately connecting the dots from planning to delivery as a personal message and “call to action” for our team members. Alden’s impact was so great, we asked him back – for a customer appreciation event for our topmost clients and prospects.”
Baker Tilly
Managing Partner
"When you hire an outside speaker to talk to your organization, you are looking for someone who can speak your language and move your people with their message. Alden came in the night before, interacted with our team, had dinner with our founder, and asked the piercing questions to understand our history, our culture, and our challenges.  The next day, he delivered a powerful talk that was aligned to our team and helped us set our sights higher.  Most speakers are hit and run – they show up, give their talk, collect their check, and leave.  Alden invested his time in making it personal to us, and, in doing so, made it way more valuable to our company.  He is a true professional with an inspirational message about leadership and success in life."
Cottingham & Butler
President/CEO
“Alden Mills captivated over 100 independent insurance agency owners who attended our conference last week. Alden has the rare ability to share compelling military stories while making the learnings applicable to our customers - who are CEO’s of successful businesses. Although we hosted this event for the betterment of our customers, our company’s COO and I are both employing Alden’s techniques to be better team leaders ourselves. One participant remarked, “I’ve never attended an insurance conference where no one was on their phone or in a side conversation. Alden Mills had us fully engaged. Best meeting ever!” I heartily recommend Alden for customizing his presentation to our customers' business type and motivating them to take action upon returning to their offices."
