The Actuarial Society of South Africa Advances Actuarial Excellence by Educating, Upholding and Developing

Actuaries are professionals who are equipped with skills that empower them to take on a variety of challenges. This page celebrates the achievements of South African actuaries who used their actuarial skills to navigate previously uncharted waters. It demonstrates the versatility and value of the actuarial skills set. We salute these pioneers, hoping that their success will inspire others to break new ground. In the words of Frank Redington, “an actuary who is only an actuary is not an actuary”.

Ever feel like your success is just luck, and it is only a matter of time before someone finds out? Even the most accomplished professionals carry this quiet worry of impostor syndrome, especially in high-pressure environments where the rules keep changing. On 14 October, Dr Sharon Munyaka, drawing on positive psychology, systems thinking, and over 20 years of experience working with leaders, will guide us through why self-doubt so often targets high achievers and how to build lasting resilience. You will walk away with a clearer understanding of your own patterns and practical, immediate tools to reframe self-doubt, sustain your performance, and lead yourself and others with steadiness through complexity.
