What is it? An exciting new program for women in the property industry, connecting groups of likeminded women and a mentor to explore a range of topics through guided sessions utilising the ‘Lean In’ program. Participants will have the opportunity to broaden their industry network as well as learn new skills and gain knowledge to help them progress as leaders in our industry.

The UDIA Women in Property committee have sought out a group of exemplary senior women from within the industry to volunteer as our inaugural mentors for the program. Each with outstanding skills and experience to share.

The real POWER is in the format of peer or circle mentoring, where participants benefit not just from the knowledge of the mentor but from 8 - 10 other women at a similar level from within the industry.

During the break, Mr Ngo recalls, the pair "got into a good conversation, about the type of businesses that I've run, and some of the issues that I've been grappling with at work". Suddenly the course leader stopped him and said: "No disrespect, but you seem to be quite young to be running those type of businesses of that magnitude and complexity."
