Rachel Kolisi has built influence beyond traditional roles. Leadership is not about title - it’s about impact. What does impactful leadership look like to you? #GWII #SeasonToBloom #WomenInInsurance #SheLeads #ConnectLeadInspire

Breaking barriers in insurance means changing who gets the chances tinyurl.com/ypame8yr Walk into most insurance firms and you will see women everywhere. They are at client service desks, they are handling claims, they are administering policies. They often keep everything running smoothly. But walk into the rooms where revenue decisions are made and business strategy is set, and the picture often shifts. Suddenly, the gap is very visible.

“Brokers are vital in uncertain times.” Lizelle van der Merwe from the FIA urges brokers to shift from transactional advice to resilience-building, delivering value beyond just product sales. “Digital transformation is essential, but it shouldn't compromise personalisation.” Van der Merwe highlights how brokers must leverage tech for efficiency while maintaining human judgment. #TechForBrokers #InsuranceInnovation #InsuranceBrokers #GWII #SheLeads #ConnectLeadInspire #LeaderWalk @FIA_ORG_ZA

“The future of cybersecurity is AI-driven.” Fiona Oakley-Smith from Sasria explains how AI is reshaping both defensive and offensive cyber risk strategies in the insurance sector. “Resilience isn't just about tech - it's about people.” Oakley-Smith emphasises that strong leadership & clear communication are key in managing cyber incidents. #CyberResilience #Leadership #RiskManagement #GWII #SheLeads #ConnectLeadInspire @SasriaSOCLtd #LeaderWalk

"Preparedness is no longer optional!" Natasha Naidoo (Fairbridges Wertheim Becker) explains how the COFI Bill is set to transform the regulatory landscape - insurers must act now to stay compliant. "Compliance is a competitive advantage!" Naidoo shares how embedding governance into daily processes helps insurers stay agile while reducing risk. #GWII #LeaderWalkBreakfast #RegulatoryChange #COFIBill #InsuranceLaw #SheLeads #ConnectLeadInspire @BFairbridges

"AI is no longer just a trend - it's transforming the insurance industry." Katlego Thaba from Deloitte highlights how insurers must focus on data governance & system modernisation to stay ahead in 2026. "Collaboration is the future of insurance." Thaba stresses that long-term growth is tied to societal impact and bold partnerships. Thriving in 2026 means adapting to change and building trust. #Insurance2026 #Collaboration #GWII @DeloitteSA #LeaderWalkBreakfast #SheLeads #ConnectLeadInspire
