Businesses Thrive with Resilience and Purpose

 

A third-generation leader at her family’s insurance agency, Chrissy Myers was brimming with confidence—until her husband’s sudden death, just as the Affordable Care Act was going live, put her in a tailspin.

Chrissy discovered how the skills of resilience are essential tools for good businesses, healthy homes, and flourishing communities. Today, with Chrissy as owner and CEO, Associated Underwriters Insurance (AUI) is more than an insurance agency. It’s a company with a big “what else,” a mission that elevates the business, its associates, and its community in profound ways.

“Beyond its practical wisdom, this book stands out as a beacon for those in the throes of entrepreneurial challenges. Chrissy sheds light on the profound importance of purpose —in serving our family, coworkers, and the community at large. For anyone steering a business, this book is not merely a recommendation; it’s a necessity.”

“In the world of business books, Reluctantly Resilient stands out as a warm, humorous, and perspective-rich companion. Chrissy’s words provide not only guidance but a genuine connection, making you feel like you have a friend in the business world.”

Mandy McAllister, CEO, GoBundance Women

“The author’s captivating blend of her personal journey, expert opinions, and real-world examples make this book a relatable and interesting read.”

Anna Li, Entrepreneur & CEO, Outsource Your Tasks

“This may be the most important book you ever read. It fully reveals how to travel a hopeful roadmap to resilience.”

Josh Gordon, CEO, Full Spectrum Marketing
