Sales. PM. Profit. People. Because leadership in real estate should mean more.

When I set out to create the LEADER Conference, I didn’t want to create just another conference. I wanted to create a catalyst. 

A catalyst for change.  

A catalyst for growth.  

A catalyst for leaders—present and future—to come together and shape the next era of real estate. 

That’s WHY I created LEADER. 

I could see the gap.  

Agents and business owners had access to training, inspiration and education, but what we didn’t have was a space solely focused on leadership.  

Not just the idea of leadership, but the real, actionable kind that transforms teams, businesses, and lives. 

LEADER was born out of that vision—to gather the brightest minds, the boldest thinkers and the most driven performers in one room, and equip them to lead with clarity, confidence and conviction. 

One industry. One stage. One united vision. 

Something that’s always baffled me is how separate the sales and property management sides of our industry can be.  

We often act like they’re two completely different worlds—but in reality, they’re two sides of the same coin. 

LEADER brings both divisions under one roof. Because when sales and property management work together, magic happens.  

There’s so much untapped opportunity in collaboration—whether it’s growing a rent roll strategically off the back of a high-performing sales team, or integrating marketing and branding efforts across both areas. 

This conference is about breaking down the silos.  

It’s about getting everyone in the same room, learning from each other and building better, more cohesive businesses. 

The skills we should’ve been taught—but weren’t 

One of the biggest things I’ve noticed in our industry? So many principals have climbed the ranks through performance and experience—but have never actually been taught how to lead. 

Leadership isn’t just about calling the shots.  

It’s about people.  

It’s about planning.  

It’s about understanding your numbers, reading the market, managing personalities, building culture and navigating change. 

That’s why LEADER is packed with practical sessions on modern business skills—like managing finances, having tough conversations, and leading through uncertainty.  

Because being a great leader today isn’t just about being good at your job—it’s about knowing how to grow others in theirs. 

From chasing revenue to building real profit 

For years, our industry has been laser-focused on GCI. Revenue, revenue, revenue. 

But here’s the truth: revenue means nothing if your business isn’t profitable. 

At LEADER, we go deeper.  

We talk about what it actually means to build a financially healthy business.  

We explore how to interpret your numbers, measure your margins, and make strategic decisions that increase profit, not just top-line revenue. 

Your business isn’t successful just because it’s busy.  

It’s successful when it’s sustainable, scalable, and gives you both impact and income. 

This year’s LEADER line-up? It’s next level. 

You’ll hear from some of the sharpest minds in business and real estate covering everything from how to grow and scale your business to cultivating a great culture, including Ouwens Casserly managing director Nathan Casserly, BresicWhitney CEO Thomas McGlynn, Champions in Real Estate director Michelle Champion and Number 1 agent and director at Coronis Dion Saab. 

We’ll also delve into tech stacks with PropertyMe chief customer officer Sarah Dawson, while Propic head of product Drew McTavish will speak on AI. 

Wingman CEO Jonathan Rostron will discuss business operations, LJ Hooker CEO Christine Mikhael will take a deep dive into high-performance leadership and I will cover how to build effective business units. 

REACH Australia managing partner Peter Schravemade will MC the event. 

Every speaker has been carefully chosen to challenge, uplift and equip you with tools you can put into action straight away.
