At YMI Insurance, we’re always seeking new ways to better serve our clients and grow as leaders in the Lehigh Valley business community. That’s why we’re excited to share that we’ve officially joined The High Center—the nation’s largest center dedicated to family and privately held businesses.
Jimi had the privilege of attending his first event as a member of The High Center, and he left feeling incredibly energized about what’s ahead. Hosted in Central Pennsylvania, The High Center is an incredible resource offering executive peer groups, best practice education, leadership development, and legacy planning—tools that are essential for business owners across the region, including here in the Lehigh Valley.
A Day of Insightful Leadership & Connection
The event kicked off with a powerful keynote by Rachel DeAlto—renowned communication and leadership expert. Rachel spoke about how being relatable as a leader can significantly improve team dynamics, productivity, and overall workplace happiness. Her insights struck a chord, especially in today’s fast-paced business world where authentic leadership is more valuable than ever.
The afternoon concluded with an unforgettable Q&A session with President George W. Bush. Hearing his reflections on leading during crisis was both humbling and inspiring. His stories reminded all of us in the room that resilient leadership, clear communication, and composure under pressure are timeless qualities every business leader should strive to embody.
Gaining Insight to Better Serve Local Businesses
Participating in The High Center isn’t just exciting—it’s invaluable. Events like these deepen our understanding of the unique challenges and risks facing family-owned and privately held businesses throughout Central Pennsylvania and right here in the Lehigh Valley.
By connecting with other business leaders and learning from top-tier experts, we’re better equipped to anticipate our clients’ needs, offer more tailored insurance solutions, and become stronger advocates for the local business community. At YMI Insurance, we believe that staying engaged and informed is key to delivering the highest level.
