EVENT: 2016 Ron Shorter Award Finals (NSW) |
| Summary |
AILA is proud to present the final of the New South Wales Ron Shorter Memorial Award for Professionalism in Public Speaking. The award, which is once again sponsored by Colin Biggers & Paisley and Unisearch, was conceptualised by Mr Shorter prior to his untimely passing in 2012. It has been successfully running for 5 years in New South Wales, made its debut in Victoria in 2015, and is taking place in Queensland for the first time in 2016. |

Description
Competition applicants initially explained how they would benefit from public speaking training and nominated the insurance-related topic they would speak on if selected to participate.
AILA NSW selected 20 participants, comprising a diverse mix of insurance industry disciplines, for the second stage of the competition held at Colin Biggers & Paisley's offices on 17 May 2016 where Ms Jennifer Beard of Polaris Coaching delivered intense training on the key elements and nuances of public speaking.
Using their newfound skills the participants then spoke for two minutes on their topics. They were judged by a panel comprising Ms Beard, Mr Stephen Brooks of JLT, Ms Kym Low of RCR Tomlinson, Mr Robert Crittenden of Meridian Lawyers, and Mr Enoch Law of Colin Biggers & Paisley.
The judging panel selected three participants to progress to the final:
- Martin Rowney from HWL Ebsworth "Recovery, risk and reinstatement - a perfect storm"
- Natalie Donnan from McInnes Wilson "Unpacking the fairly untested waters of the rise of the drone - and the insurance implications that may flow"
- James Smorthwaite from JLT "Brave New World: Directors' duties and corporate responsibility in the changing world of cyber security"
The finalists will now receive additional coaching from Polaris to prepare them for the final where they will speak for 10 to 15 minutes in front of an anticipated audience of 100 attendees from the insurance industry, and an esteemed judging panel comprising:
- The Honourable Justice Cliff Hoeben, NSW Supreme Court and Court of Appeal
- Robert Kelly, Managing Director and CEO, Steadfast
- Noel Condon, CEO, AIG
The winner will receive the Ron Shorter Trophy, a Westfield Voucher worth $500 and the opportunity to speak at the 2016 AILA National Conference. The runners up will each receive a Westfield voucher worth $250.
