Gauteng Women In Insurance: Mix n Mingle – Golf Masterclass

May 7, 2024

This session featured Huntley Smith, Change Architect and former COO, who led a powerful and candid conversation titled C-Suite Unfiltered: 90 Minutes Inside the C-Suite. Smith unpacked the realities of executive leadership, offering attendees a rare glimpse into the pressures, decisions, and mindset required at the top.

Rather than focusing on polished success stories, Smith took attendees into the “war room”, sharing real-world lessons on navigating complexity, driving organisational change, and leading with clarity in high-stakes environments. His session challenged conventional perceptions of leadership and encouraged future leaders to think more strategically about their own growth journeys.

We were grateful to our main sponsor, iTOO Special Risks, co-sponsor Absa, and logistical sponsors FAnews, Glasfit, and Santam Specialist Solutions for their contributions to the success of the event.

The day began with a welcome by the GWII President, Catherine Albertyn, followed by the grouping of the ladies with the golf pros as well as some of GWII’s proficient golfers assisting the newbies. These ladies were (Charmaine Sneyd, Catherine Albertyn, Catherine Pienaar, Margaret Handy, Megan Brink, Nadia Gouws and Rianet Whitehead

After activities, the participants then moved to Hotshots for food and socialising, followed by the Hotshots competition and lucky draw prizes.
This masterclass was not only a learning experience but also a fantastic opportunity for women to engage with peers, foster new professional relationships, and enjoy a day out on the golf course.

GWII would like to thank the main sponsor, Discovery Insure, co-sponsors Credit Guarantee and Osprey Underwriting Managers and complimentary sponsors Consort Technical Underwriting Managers, Cover Exec, Rand Mutual, SHA Risk Specialists and Santam Insurance for their sponsorship and support.

GWII would also like to thank Glasfit for sponsoring the photographer, activation sponsor Genoa, and our prize sponsors Digicall Group, Glasfit, Global Choices, iTOO Special Risks, Michelle Ori, National Salvage Brokers, and Rand Mutual who kindly provided each guest with a handy to have golf booklet for beginners.
