  • ER vs. Urgent Care

    All too often, illness or injury appears out of the blue: You wake up in the middle of the night with intense abdominal pain. You stumble while carrying groceries up a flight of stairs and can no longer put weight on your swollen ankle. Or your baby spikes a high fever on the weekend.

  • The Secret of My Success–Featuring Ed Ligonde, Nielsen Benefits Group

    SUCCESS

    We all chase it. We all look up to those who have it. We all describe it differently.

    In this blog series, the eTekhnos team talks with our partners in different industries about success and what their secret has been to achieving it. For our inaugural post, we interview Ed Ligonde, the Executive Vice President at Nielsen Benefits Group in Westlake Village, California. Ed was recently named one of the “40 Under 40” by the Pacific Coast Business Times of 40 up-and-coming businessmen and women under 40 years of age. He has also been named the 2019 Employee Benefits Adviser Rising Star by Employee Benefit Adviser Magazine.

     

    What is the one character quality you possess that you believe puts you on the road to success?

    Staying hungry!  I want to keep learning, challenging the status quo, and surrounding myself with amazing hard-working professionals and intelligent leaders who challenge me to be better.  My clients and my teammates become the beneficiaries of any new initiatives I learn or become proficient with.

     

    What is one pivotal moment in your life that you think set you up for the success you are seeing today?

    I believe it’s a couple of things–both of which happened very close in time. First, it was finding my “why” – once I figured that out, everything changed. I believe employee benefits is “the benefit of being an employee” and so, as a benefit consultant, I have an incredible opportunity to help employers enhance the employee experience.  By finding my “why” and fostering more of a consultative approach rather than a traditional transactional insurance-based approach, I’ve been able to build strong and long-term relationships with clients and business professionals. Second, I can point to transitioning to my new firm and being under the tutelage of our CEO Craig Nielsen as helping build my success.  Craig inspired confidence in me and gave me the tools and the support to find success and be as innovative as possible.  He is incredibly supportive and my teammates here at NBG are equally supportive and positive.  My wife has been my #1 fan, the unwavering support, especially during challenging times, is priceless.  I believe when you look at your success, you need to look around you and commend all those who have been in your corner. 

     

    How do you prioritize your day/week to make you successful?

    First, I focus on my teammates. I like to check in with them weekly—even if it’s a friendly text to see how they are doing. Then, I focus on my clients to ensure we are hitting our timelines and that they are happy. Finally, I focus on professional growth and learning, as well as new business opportunities, to continue to foster the growth of our firm and national footprint.

  • Employee Spotlight: Kate McGaughey

    Processed with VSCO with c1 presetKate McGaughey joined our team this Spring as our Social Media Director! We’ve asked her a few fun questions to get to know her a little better:

    Q. What is your job at eTekhnos?

    A. I am the Social Media Director. I help clients find their brand’s voice by selecting and producing content on relevant industry topics, scheduling posts for their blogs and social media accounts, and creating special campaigns and email blasts. In addition, I write about social media and technology best practices and how they can be best utilized by employee benefit agencies on our eTekhnos blog, as well as blasting fun and helpful content on our Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter!

    Q. What is your favorite aspect of your job?

    A. I love when a client comes to me with a new product or service they want to get people excited about, and I have the opportunity to work with them on both the promotional strategy and the actual implementation of the campaign. It’s fun to work with a client to achieve their vision, and get to be creative in the process!

    Q. Where is the furthest you have traveled?

    A. I previously worked as a flight attendant for a major airline where I had the opportunity to travel all the time! My furthest trip (as well as one of my favorite) was to Moscow, Russia! I was there for two days during their annual Moscow Day Festival and had the chance to take in their unique architecture, delicious food and thought-provoking art!

    Q. What is your favorite book?

    A. I loved The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. It takes place in Germany during WWII and follows the life of a young girl who steals books, each that is connected to a person or a significant story. Her German family ends up harboring a young Jewish man from the Nazis, and their friendship causes the reader to think in a broader sense about how even though we are different from many people in our world, at the end of the day we are all human, and are all deserving of love and respect.

    Q. What is an ability you wish you had?

    A. I wish I had the ability to fly! Although I spent a year marveling at the world from above when I was working for the airline, I’ve always wished I was able to fly from place to place and float over beautiful landscapes on my own. I may or may not try to find Neverland 😉
