Gauteng Women in Insurance: Vibe & Venture – Drumming! Feel the Rhythm

  • July 29, 2025

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.

Led by the incredible team from Drum Cafe, guests each received their own drum and were guided through a dynamic 45 – 60-minute session that was more than just music-making – it was a journey of connection, collaboration, and pure fun. The room came alive as rhythms built, laughter filled the air, and the ladies became teammates in creating a shared sound.

It wasn’t just about drumming – it was about sparking creativity and celebrating the joy of being present in the moment. For many, it was a reminder that sometimes, all it takes is a beat to bring people together.

The afternoon wrapped up with plenty of smiles, new friendships, and the lingering buzz of energy that only comes from doing something a little out of the ordinary. The excitement continued with a prize-giving session, where a few lucky ladies walked away with Woolworths vouchers, including a R1 500 voucher sponsored by Ctrack.

A heartfelt thank you to our main sponsors, Fulcrum and Old Mutual Insure, and co-sponsor Terra Marine, for making this unforgettable event possible. Your support helps us create experiences that inspire, connect, and empower our members.

Here’s to more GWII moments that bring us together – one beat at a time.
