Insurance companies today are using the business philosophy of “Delay, Deny and Defend” when handling claims. They know that this puts financial pressure on policyholders and claimants, and pressure makes policyholders and claimants more likely to accept a reduced claim settlement.

You must learn the claim strategies that the insurance companies know already so that you can maximize your claim settlement. No matter what kind of insurance claim you are submitting, you will lose thousands of dollars without these winning claims strategies.

Russell is one of those rare individuals who found the perfect career, and loves every minute of his work. In his career as an insurance adjuster, he has handled claims as simple as a water leak in a home, and claims as complicated as multi-million dollar commercial property and liability losses.

Russell Longcore is also a Risk Manager and Claims Consultant. He analyzes all the risks that a business faces and assists the business in implementing a comprehensive risk management program. He makes recommendations on Risk Retention, Loss Analysis, and proper insurance coverages. He also assists businesses in the purchase of proper coverage for their individual needs.

Divorce is a reality. Not a week goes by that someone doesn’t call me asking for advice about some phase of the divorce journey. Some women are still in shock over discovering infidelity. Others are angry that their ‘happily ever after’ isn’t happening. Some women are paralyzed by the insurmountable road ahead of them as they navigate the legal process. Others ask if I can teach them how to forgive.

I have been through this process and learned a tremendous amount. My mission is to influence women to take the high road in navigating the divorce process.

Here’s a little about me … I live in suburban Atlanta with my husband, Justin, and my two children. Free time is devoted to family activities like cheering for my kids at their sporting events, golfing, boating, traveling, taking photographs, reading, and volunteering in the community. I am also the Founder and President of ISHR Group which provides global solutions in the area of leadership assessment, development and coaching. I hold a Bachelors Degree from the University of Michigan, a Masters Degree from Michigan State University, and a Juris Doctorate from Albany Law School. I love to write and frequently contribute to business periodicals on the subject of leadership and coaching.

In the spirit of giving back and paying it forward, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book and other items in the boutique will be donated to organizations that support women and children impacted by divorce.

I am, of course, available for interviews, speaking engagements, appearances, signings, and dance-offs. Maybe not that last one.

Let’s face facts, sales is not an easy profession. If it was, all sales people would surpass goals and staff turnover would not exist.
