Don’t take our word for it – see what recent DevelopU participants have to say!

“The Emerging leader’s programme connected me with an incredible mentor and group of peers in the property and construction industry. I was able to learn more than I ever expected to from the experience. We built a real friendship through the mentoring programme and I still catch up with my mentor every month, even after the programme has ended. Our cohort of Emerging Leaders all still stay in contact and catch up to discuss industry trends and our careers on a quarterly basis.”

Matt Voice

Verve Projects / 2024 Mentee

"The inclusive leadership course was really beneficial.  Joe created an open environment where we could share experiences and explore challenging topics as a group. The course not only deepened our awareness of diversity and inclusion but also equipped us with practical strategies, providing more confidence in our ability to foster a truly inclusive workplace. We highly recommend this training to anyone committed to creating positive change in their organisation."

Krunal Patel

"The Emerging Leaders Programme has been a transformative experience for me. It provided not only valuable industry knowledge but also the opportunity to build a strong and supportive connection with my mentor, Jenna. Through her guidance, I’ve found my voice and developed greater confidence in my day-to-day role. The programme has helped me sharpen my leadership skills and approach challenges with a new perspective, making a significant impact on both my personal and professional growth."

Charly Baik

Emerging Leaders Programme Participant

"I have attended three Property Council seminars since joining and found them all highly informative and useful. You’re in a room with like-minded people, and there is a lot of interaction between the class and the speakers. The seminars are an efficient way for me to acquire new skills and are also great for networking."
