Your Insurance & Risk Management Specialists
Insurance is a lot like oxygen – everyone needs it, very few people understand how it works, and the lack of it can take your life away. The financial safety net that hovers under nearly every business, home, and vehicle in the developed world is an interesting concept; hovering below you like a mysterious fog, it can feel like a lot of cost for nothing – until you need it to break your fall, and find out for the first time what quality of net you’ve been paying for all these years. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if you could understand that net you were paying for, and the best ways to use it… or better yet, how to keep from falling in the first place?
Please note that Rod and Danielle don’t sell or promote any type of insurance product. That is what brokers are for – and they’re great at it. Nor are they affiliated with, or working for, any insurance company. Alderwood’s focus is two-fold; partnering with companies and individuals to offer risk management and claims advocacy services normally reserved for large corporations, and offering those same people an engaging and insightful look into how to be a better, smarter insurance customer through educational presentations.
After many years and lots of experience in insurance and risk management (and a lot of phone calls and questions at dinner parties), Rod and Danielle Ahlskog had come to understand something very important – that almost nobody understood insurance and risk management, and how to make it work for them. Even most insurance professionals tend to stay in one lane throughout their career; selling insurance, adjusting claims, working for the insurance companies themselves, or doing risk management. Very few people had done it all, and so those who understood how all the parts fit together in this complex machine were rare finds.
Big corporations have dedicated risk managers and insurance consultants on staff to handle this very issue – but what about the average business owner, or consultant, or family? Alderwood Consulting was founded to answer that question, bringing specialized education and decades of experience out of the boardroom and into the hands of everyday people as they work to build a better future for their businesses and families. Because knowledge and support power success, and should be within reach for anyone willing to seek them out.
