Woman Speak: The Stories of the Day, is Brightfire Woman's Journal dedicated to events and people in the news.

So... I am not a reporter. I have the highest respect for journalism. This is not journalism; it is what should result from journalism, opinion and acts of self-expression; the birth of something that hopefully adds to the conversation, something that stimulates a social empathy, a common ground of understanding on the subjects of these days in which we live.

On Janurary 31, 2012 Macquarie Life welcomed aboard Jessica Watson OAM as an ambassador for another two years to help the business navigate the path towards delivering further innovation in the life insurance industry.

Jessica, who on Australia Day became one of the youngest Australians to receive a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), recently skippered the youngest ever crew to finish the iconic 2011 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Jessica was the first female skipper to cross the line and she achieved the admirable feat of coming second in the highly competitive eight-boat Sydney 38 One-Design division.

With her proven ability to achieve outstanding results and overcome some of nature’s toughest challenges, Macquarie Life is continuing its relationship with Jessica to share stories of her passion and determination with advisers in the life insurance industry.

Head of Macquarie Life, Justin Delaney, congratulated Jessica on her achievements and said Macquarie Life was proud to have the opportunity to continue working with her.

“At Macquarie Life we had the pleasure of working with Jessica as we sponsored her successful ‘another Challenge’ campaign in the 2011 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and we look forward to continuing to work with her as she takes on her next set of challenges on dry land,” Mr Delaney said.

“Being awarded an OAM is an extraordinary achievement, particularly at Jessica’s age, and it is proof for us all that with the passion to succeed, people, like businesses, can achieve great things.”

Macquarie Life began supporting Jessica and her crew’s 10 week training campaign for the 2011 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race having recognised their common goals for challenging the status quo and striving for success.

Commenting on the ongoing relationship, Jessica said she was looking forward to continuing to work with Macquarie Life as she takes on her next challenge in life:

“I am grateful to have had the support of sponsors like Macquarie Life to help me to reach some of my goals. Macquarie Life understands that to achieve most things in life, it requires dedication and hard work. So I’m looking forward to sharing some of my stories with Macquarie Life’s clients during the years ahead, to hopefully help inspire others to achieve their goals.”

"I have really enjoyed working with all the team at Macquarie Life during the Hobart campaign and now proud to be their brand ambassador."
