FACILITATED BY
A 6 month cross-industry mentoring program which brings together participants
at two levels – Women who are aspiring to a senior leadership position in the
industry; and Senior leaders, decision makers, men & women who can help build
a culture of inclusive leadership within the property industry.
This program has allowed me
the freedom to speak and not be
judged. It has been about putting
myself out there and having
conversations with senior people
and unlocking sponsors within
my organisation. This experience
has helped me to push myself
in developing my strategic
networks. I have discovered that
I am better known and respected
than I thought I was.
– 2016 MENTEE
This has been a refreshing
opportunity for me to engage on
the diversity issue by having a
connection with someone who
doesn’t directly work for me.
It is also a constant reminder as
a leader to create good career
opportunities for my people.
– 2016 MENTOR
This has been a very rewarding
program! It has challenged my
fears and allowed me to learn
how to improve my leadership
skills. – 2016 MENTEE

experience which includes the following features:

career and develop powerful professional connections
and sponsors.
A select group of participants will be matched across
a range of organisations:
