EVENT: 2016 Ron Shorter Award Finals (QLD) |
| Summary |
AILA is proud to present the final of the Queensland Ron Shorter Memorial Award for Professionalism in Public Speaking. The award, which is 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 Queensland 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 31 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 David Jesser and Ms Emma Topen of McInnes Wilson, and Ms Christobelle Cheesman of Woolworths.
The judging panel selected three participants to progress to the finals:
- Tenniele Horton from QBE: "The blurring lines between the roles of insurers, brokers & other advisers"
- Christina Neylon from Ausure: "Underinsurance and the negative impacts on the insured in the event of a claim"
- Christopher Smith from HWL Ebsworth: "The weird and wacky things people now seek insurance for (did you know you could purchase insurance against alien abductions?)"
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 Anthe Philippides, Queensland Court of Appeal
- Tony Shaw, Director Queensland, Marsh & McLennan
- Michael Gear, Senior Claims Specialist, Liberty International Underwriters
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.
