Gauteng Women in Insurance: Vibe & Venture – Sip & Paint

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.

From 4 pm to 8 pm, the space was alive with laughter, chatter, and the clinking of glass-es as everyone sipped on delightful drinks and let their artistic sides shine. Whether you were a pro with a paintbrush or a total newbie, the atmosphere was relaxed and encour-aging, making it easy for everyone to dive into their creativity.

It was amazing to see blank canvases come to life with vibrant colours and unique de-signs. Each person’s artwork was as individual as their personality, and the excitement in the room was truly infectious!

A huge thank you to our wonderful sponsor, QSURE, for making this fabulous evening possible. And of course, a special shout-out to all the fantastic ladies who joined us and made the event such a memorable experience.
