Thinking of becoming an actuary? This is where to start. Written by Bill Marella, a seasoned CEO of one of the largest actuarial education creators in the world, this book provides an expanse of knowledge across the actuary field, including specifics on starting off in the actuarial profession and entering the actuarial workforce.

The Influential Actuary

This book lays out specific tools and strategies that enable actuaries and other technical professionals to raise their game and add greater value to their organizations by being more influential in the way they communicate, influence, and relate to others. Actuaries are brilliant people whose talents are often undervalued and, therefore, underutilized. This book attempts to address this issue, not by getting actuaries to be better actuaries, but rather by increasing one’s ability to be a more effective business professional.

Design Your Future with the Competency Framework

Looking to advance your career and life as an actuary? This book is for you! There are books on professional development and success as an actuary, but very few books as a single source on both, and fewer still that are accessible to newcomers, early career and seasoned actuaries and now focused on actuarial competence. Using the foundation of the Society of Actuaries Competency Framework, you will learn to create a personal development plan while gaining access to career insights from prominent contributing actuaries as well as self-discovery resources for purpose, career and life direction, improving relationships and professional advancement. Design Your Future with the Competency Framework is a guide available to feature all these and to discover your educational goals for career development!
