PriceWriters transforms pricing professionals into the most respected leaders in insurance.

In this episode of the Price Writer Podcast, Jeremy Keating and Catrin Townsend discuss Senior Leadership: An Essential Guide for Actuaries by Julia Lessing.

This is a leadership book designed to be worked through rather than skimmed, using practical exercises, reflections, and prompts drawn from real leadership situations. We explore what changes as you move from management into senior leadership, why leadership becomes less technical and more people-focused, and how often our stated values differ from how we actually spend our time.

The conversation also touches on the importance of thinking deeply rather than reacting quickly, and whether senior leadership is something you truly want or simply the next step you have been aiming for.

This episode is for actuaries and pricing professionals who are stepping into senior roles, aspiring to them, or already there and reflecting on how leadership works in practice.

We’re kicking off 2026 by rethinking how we set and achieve goals.

In this episode of the Price Writers Podcast, Jeremy and Catrin explore The 12 Week Year by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington, and why shorter, more focused planning cycles can be far more effective than traditional annual goals.

They discuss how compressing goal setting into 12-week periods creates urgency, clarity, and momentum, particularly in pricing teams where annual targets often arrive late and priorities shift throughout the year. Drawing on real-world experience, they explore execution versus outcome metrics, the role of review periods, and how focusing on the actions you control can lead to better results over time.

This is a thoughtful and realistic look at goal setting for pricing professionals who want progress without unnecessary pressure.
