A STRATEGIC ALLY FOR ACTUARIES AND LEADERS

Who said the path to success has to leave you dazed and drained?

what if sustainable success
wasn't just an idea?

The habits and hard work that got you here — hyper-competency, pushing through, following a well-worn path — may be the same ones getting in your way.

When you step back, reflect, and realign,, it becomes easier to:

Make confident decisions about what’s next
Lead and collaborate more effectively
Reconnect with your strengths and values
Build systems that support focus, growth, and wellbeing

This work isn’t about doing less — it’s about recalibrating so you can keep moving forward and create more sustainable, aligned success.

With practical tools, thoughtful frameworks, and space to reflect, you’ll have strategies you can actually apply — in your career and with your team.

Meet Aree

I am a speaker, facilitator, author, coach, and actuary who is committed to enabling analytical professionals and leaders to find more joy and easier success each day.

After 25 years as a healthcare actuary — including time in both corporate and consulting environments — I know how intense and consuming this work can be. I also know it doesn’t have to burn you out to be meaningful.

Today, I partner with actuaries, teams, and organizations to help them move toward sustainable success. Whether it’s through facilitated workshops, thoughtful speaking engagements, or my course on sustainable leadership, I’m here to support you in building a career — and a culture — that lasts.

People love working with me because of my honest humor, collaborative approach and grounded air that I share with individuals and audiences alike.

I was Ready to Trade the Draining Achievement-Oriented Success for Something More Sustainable... and More Me.

Once I discovered how to identify and engage my unique combination of core values, natural strengths, and personality, I saw the landscape in front of me much more clearly. I transformed how I navigate my career and my life and discovered sustainable success along the way.

We have been trained to lead with our skills – yet sustainability comes through drawing in our hearts.

I now get to work with successful professionals like myself to help them learn the same navigation skills and create their own sustainable success.

There is an incredible feeling that comes when we step off the treadmill of doing more to achieve more. Everyone holds the key to unlocking sustainable success at every point in their career.

Don’t take my word for it.
Here’s what others say...

I am so happy that I invited Aree to speak at my team summit. As a leader, I loved that she offered actionable ideas to help everyone make their success more sustainable and to tap into their unique strengths at work. Her presentation was powerful, entertaining, and authentic. I am already seeing my team become more engaged.

As the head of a large actuarial leadership program, I am always looking for new ways to grow my top performers. The New Fellow Mastermind program allowed me to offer an external perspective to high-potential associates, helping them prepare to navigate their careers after graduating our early-career program.

As a leader, I know it's important to have a coach. I'm glad I chose to work with Aree because she helped me to take a step back and review the big picture. Aree was a good listener which lead to good questions. I could tell she was not just using a standard process but rather guiding and coaching based on my unique circumstances. Her strong analytical background was a great asset.

Aree Bly presented to the our Women in Business group and left the attendees wanting more! Aree has a wonderful presence and was captivating, even in a virtual meeting environment. She challenged us all to rethink how we prioritize what matters to us and how to find alignment and connection to those things, both personally and professionally.

We had the pleasure to welcome Aree as one of a speakers at our International Spring Meetup. She hosted a practical workshop all about leadership and career development which our attendees found extremely insightful. One participant said the session was the “most authentic” they had attended. Aree is a true professional and brings a great level of charisma.

My confidence and competence both grew. I thought the discussions and exercises were eye opening. They helped identify gaps and strengths that I have, and they made me think about changes I might want to make. I have a clear and exciting picture of what my future could look like.

Don’t take my word for it.
Here’s what they say...

We invited Aree to be a guest speaker because we wanted to inspire our audience with her wise perspective. What a breath of fresh air & inspiration she was! We have had dozens of speakers, yet she remains my favorite because she is grounded, calming, and brings excellent insights that we could truly use. Aree was a true hidden gem speaker!

Aree has developed a sensational alignment framework. Its simplicity in understanding and practicality in application are a testament to Aree. If you're stuck or looking to find your groove, Aree is the speaker for you!

Aree gets it! Instantly, I knew this was not just another talk….And yes, she delivered! I left with a road map for next steps that align my actions with my goals. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a concrete path.

This came at a particularly appropriate time for me and although it was geared towards a general audience, I felt like many things you spoke about were directly related to me. This helped me identify things that need to change and gave me tools to make it happen.
