My career, my story:...
I've been at Lockton for 12 years, and I still love going to work every day. Not everyone can say that. I joined Lockton in 2012 as a broker in Professional Indemnity. Fresh out of university, I was searching for a job in insurance, which led me to Lockton. I started in the Global Professions unit, focusing on mitigating risk for companies in law, accounting, engineering, and more. I learned key business and interpersonal skills in this role, but after four years, I was ready for a new challenge. I spoke with my manager, who supported my transition to a new team – the Cyber & Technology team in the Global Professional & Financial Risks division. In that role, I focused on U.S. and international cyber and professional indemnity policies. Through this experience, I learned first-hand that Lockton is dedicated to retaining good talent and finding the right position for everyone. I didn't just join a new team; I found a new challenge – a new passion. I loved the challenge of cyber. It's a dynamic, young market that constantly changes. It's the risk of the future and challenges my knowledge daily. In some areas of insurance, we must get very technical and have a deep understanding of a specific industry. However, we must learn about every industry in Cyber, which drives me. I genuinely care about our clients and how they run successful businesses – I can do that in this role. In addition to caring for my clients, I can care for my teammates. I enjoy helping my team members succeed—with clients, new business, whatever it may be. Since I can remember, I have been competitive, and I love winning. However, a few years back, I learned that helping a teammate win is even more rewarding. When I became a manager, Lockton was there to help me. Managing people comes with challenges, and I had to learn quite a bit. However, my managers coached me on how to have hard conversations and trained me to lead with empathy. We all have different backgrounds and challenges in our personal lives, and perspective is so important. These backgrounds and perspectives are celebrated at Lockton. Everyone I work with is understanding of personal life and pressures. Everyone is willing to listen to you, learn about your background, and understand your perspectives. We have this incredibly flexible environment where we can do everything we want – well, within some parameters! Our culture of support, empowerment, and care has helped me excel throughout my time here. It's important to have a culture where we work hard but also have laughter and joyfulness, and we have that here. Lockton has supported me by creating a great working environment. We're serious and work hard, but being in a caring environment is nice. There's a spirit here, and that's not a lie or a marketing thing – our culture really does set us apart from the rest. For those considering Lockton, I have some advice: Throw yourself in! Try to embrace our culture and be curious—don't just be a passenger. The people who are successful here are the ones who stay curious, aren't afraid of getting their hands dirty, and are willing to help for the greater good. It takes some patience, too—business won't just fall into your lap, but if you are proactive and show people you are interested, you can be successful here.

Making a difference:...
Graham Turville-Ince's commitment to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) is more than a passion - it's a mission to create meaningful change. His dedication began at CPA's Randwick Race Day, where he met a 6-year-old girl whose life was transformed by early intervention programs. "Her progress was remarkable, and seeing her parents' strength, especially with a second child also affected by cerebral palsy, left a lasting impression," Graham shared.  This experience fueled his ongoing involvement. From volunteering at CPA's headquarters in Sydney to raising over $6,000 through the STEPtember challenge, where he took over one million steps to support the cause, Graham continues to raise funds and awareness for CPA. He also works to inspire others, whether colleagues or clients, to join in advocating for CPA's mission.  Graham's efforts were recently recognised with Lockton's prestigious Community Impact Award. Funded by the Lockton family, this honour celebrates Associates making a difference in their communities through volunteering and philanthropy. The award includes a USD 25,000 donation for the recipient's charity of choice, which Graham directed to CPA. "Presenting that cheque, knowing the impact it will make, was an unforgettable moment," he said. "I felt genuinely humbled. It's incredible to be recognised alongside many passionate and impactful colleagues."  The donation will go to providing vital therapy, respite services and a number of other programs for people living with cerebral palsy and their families. Lockton's caring culture played a critical role in Graham's ability to support CPA, allowing him to lead by example at work and in the community. "Lockton doesn't just support my passion- it enables it," he reflected. "From hands-on charity days to backing vetted causes, the encouragement from my team is invaluable."  Looking ahead, Graham is determined to expand his advocacy efforts for CPA. He's working on transitioning fundraising events from his previous involvement with Oxfam to CPA and aims to inspire his professional network to support this vital cause. "Collaboration is key, whether it's colleagues, clients, or other organisations," he said.  Graham remains focused on expanding CPA's impact, inspiring action within his networks, and driving lasting change. "When we work together, the possibilities for transformation are endless," he shared.
