Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In P&C Major Accounts I had the chance to appreciate the way Lockton tailor clients service on a broader level. This breadth allowed me to touch on 12 different clients and produce different assistance to each of them. In one of my proudest projects I crafted summaries of local policies a client held in different countries. The summary along with a detailed changes report was essential in shaping the new coverage. It allowed me to meet the client, contact him directly on behalf of the team and become part of the team thus contribute weekly in internal strategy meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was empowered by the first day. I had the possibility to not only perform single task of broader projects but to deliver the end product to the client. The more I delivered the more I was entrusted which allowed me to join pre renewal strategy meeting, being a core member of a client team and join weekly internal planning meetings. I was sponsored by all my managers which allowed me to reach out to the highest positions of the company and get their insights. I can easily track how from the first day I handled minor task to the last week directly delivering my contribution to the client in person with my team supporting me.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I had an unexpected manager transition which was the perfect scenario to depict the culture of this company. In that morning all my colleagues reached out for coffee, the early career team checked on me hourly and a new manager volounteered. I was given a whole project straight away which made me reach even higher heights. The head of department set up weekly meetings with me to keep guiding me along the internship
