The Three Wise Insurance Execs: an Insurance Christmas Story
This amusing and fun webinar will look at the magic of the Christmas story through the eyes of The Three Wise Insurance Execs, as they set out on their camels from a small village in Wales to reach The Lloyd´s Building in London, above which a guiding star shines brightly. The story will be narrated by Jeff Heasman, using specially commissioned artwork. 2023 has been another year of change and there have been many challenges, but this will be a story with an underlying message of positivity and hope! Just like the original Christmas story. So, let´s sign off our 2023 CPD programmes on a positive note with some serious learning but in a fun and amusing way … 2023 and the future through the eyes of The Three Wise Insurance Execs in An Insurance Christmas Story.
