Staying Nimble: Adaptability as Your Greatest Competitive Advantage — Showna JonesIn this episode of Connected Conversations (Canopy Connect podcast, Women in Insurance), host Carrie interviews Showna Jones, who spent over 20 years in insurance—primarily in claims, catastrophe, and compliance—after serving in the U.S. Army as a medic. Showna shares how an accumulation of corporate experiences and a pivotal conversation with an agency owner led her to launch Timeless Insurance Agency in Hampton Roads, Virginia, then quickly grow by acquiring a retiring colleague’s agency and earning key carrier appointments. She frames adaptability as a deliberate choice to pursue growth before it’s forced, built through stretching yourself, networking, mentorship, and community groups like CPCU and NAIFA. Showna discusses navigating male-dominated environments, redefining success as control and well-being, and encouraging women to get comfortable being uncomfortable and trust that no experience is wasted.Connect with Showna: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/showjones/Phone Number: 757-324-3747Timeless Insurance Agency: https://timelessinsuranceagency.com/
