It was only after a skydiving accident that had her out of action and unable to continue working in tourism that Ray White Gerringong principal Kate Morgan considered real estate . She said her husband ’ s nickname for her is Nike because she will always get out there and just do it .
“ I began as a receptionist in real estate and just got the bug for it . I looked at what other sales agents were doing and thought I could do that and do it better ,” she said .
“ I just go out and do it , that ’ s my attitude and you don ’ t know if you don ’ t have a go . Get out there and have a go and see where it takes you .”
Ray White Woollahra | Paddington agent Kate Smith praised the event and said it ’ s great to network with like minded women in real estate .
“ Real estate is a very male dominated industry and at times it can feel quite isolating but it ’ s so lovely to come to events like these and hear other women ’ s stories and use that motivation to change direction or try something new ,” she said .
Chairman ’ s Elite agent and Ray White Caringbah principal Wendy Samrani ( pictured below with sales assistant Pennii Castle ) echoed Ms Smith ’ s sentiments .
Ms Cross combined her insights into human behaviour with practical strategies that left the audience with powerful tools for living their best life and setting a higher standard in all aspects of their existence .
The high energy speaker resonated on a deep level to the room , and left a lasting impact . She was able to connect her message of inspiration , motivation and practical personal development at all levels of business .
“ Sometimes you need to talk , laugh and act yourself into a new vibration . Talk yourself up ladies . You are great ,” she said .
Ray White Commercial South Sydney ’ s Tamara Shakespeare impressed on the women gathered at the event the importance of having confidence in yourself to succeed . She left her hometown of Port Macquarie straight after her last high school exam and threw herself into every opportunity that came her way .
“ You need to have the confidence to try everything , give it a go until you find your right place . The ceiling is always moving and so are my goals ,” she said .
“ It ’ s good to get ideas from other women in the industry and to see what they ’ re doing in the current market place , how they are reacting to a challenging market at the moment and finding out more from them .” she said
“ It ’ s so inspiring to come here today and hear the stories from these amazing women .”
In Brisbane , the ladies in the room at Hillstone St Lucia heard from the highly regarded speaker Julie Cross ( pictured below ) who is affectionately known as ‘ sparkles ’.
