Property Besties | NZ Property Investing just went international. 🩷
Last week I flew to Sydney for Women in Property , and sat in a room full of women building real careers in this industry.
A huge thank you to the panel: Lauren Williams (), Judith Pini (Lendlease ), Rebecca McKee (Mirvac Residential ), and Lisa Sorrentino (City West Housing), for sharing their career journeys with so much energy, honesty and humour. And to Rhian Davies (Redpath Partners Partners) for guiding the conversation with such warmth and insight.
One line from Rebecca stuck with me. She spoke about the power of just being authentic, no performing, no shrinking, no playing a version of yourself to fit the room. Simple, but it’s rare to hear it said out loud on a stage.
What struck me most was the range in that room. Advisory, development, government housing, funds management. Different corners of the same industry, all led by women who’ve built real careers in it.
Back home, we’re building something similar with Property Besties. Women backing women through some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
Seeing it at this scale, in another market, reminded me why it matters.
To the women on that panel, and everyone in the room, thank you. 🩷
We really are better together.
