Kansas City CPCU Society Chapter

Great night with the KC CPCU crew at the Party on the Patio Royals event! Nights like this are a reminder that networking doesn’t have to feel like work—it’s about community, conversation, and showing up for one another. Also pictured: the next generation of adjusters, underwriters, and clubhouse legends. We’re recruiting young 😉

📣 You're Invited: Ethical Leadership in Action – Live Session on 3/19!
What does ethical leadership really look like when the pressure is on?
Join us March 19th from 11:30–12:30 CST for an engaging session with Michael Koscielny, founder of Born2Lead and seasoned industry leader, as he explores how values-driven leaders make the right decisions—especially when it's hardest.

In What Is Ethical Leadership? Come find out with us and Michael as he goes beyond theory to reveal how leaders navigate real-world dilemmas where:
+Fairness competes with favoritism
+Transparency clashes with convenience
+Short-term wins tempt long-term integrity

You’ll walk away with actionable tools, including the practical F‑A‑T‑H‑E‑R Framework:
Fairness • Accountability • Trust • Honesty • Equality • Respect

This framework helps leaders translate values into action, build trust, and create cultures where ethics power performance—not just compliance.
💡 Ethical leadership isn’t just about doing the right thing.
It’s about doing the right thing the right way.

👤 Michael Koscielny is the CEO of Born2Lead, LLC, bringing 45 years of leadership experience in team building and insurance industry innovation. As an educator, consultant, and former CPCU Society President (2017), he mentors emerging leaders across industries. He is also the author of Born2Lead: Lessons in Leadership (2023).
