Kit Espiritu Jotie
President
Kit Espiritu-Jotie was born and raised in the insurance business by her father, Enrique Espiritu of Espiritu & Associates which was one of the pioneering agencies in Philippine American Life Insurance based in Manila, Philippines. After witnessing the life transformation of all the successful agents and managers under her dad’s leadership, Kit did not have second thoughts in joining the insurance industry. She decided to follow her father’s footsteps right after graduation from the Ateneo University-Manila, Philippines earning a degree of B.A. Major in Psychology.
With Kit’s firsthand lessons from her dad and her educational background in Psychology, she found her passion in Agency Building. This has earned her numerous leadership awards that gave her the opportunity to qualify for major travel incentives around the world.
Kit started rebuilding her AGA, E. Espiritu Financial Inc., six years ago and currently leads 65 dynamic brokers (and still growing) alongside her managing partners composed of her two daughters, Noreene & Katrina, son in law, Winch, and a few very strong AGAs who are icons in the industry and who have decided to join forces with her. She relentlessly runs her team through Mastermind groups, coaching, mentorship programs and intensive sales training. To ensure that she is able to help her team to grow and reach their highest potential, Kit, who is also Certified Business Coach, continues to do individual coaching sessions with her selected team members. 70% of whom are female brokers/leaders.
Kit has made it her mission to do whatever it takes to be a transformational mentor in her industry and community.
