Meet the 2023 Emerging Leaders

We are delighted to announce this year’s group of mentors and emerging leaders that have made it into the 2023-24 programme. 

The Property Council New Zealand Emerging Leaders programme is a robust leadership development experience that brings together proven approaches to leadership development and experienced industry leaders to guide emerging leaders on the path to career success.

This year we have selected 30 emerging leaders who have each been paired up with their own mentor for the next 12 months.

The kick off for this year’s programme took place on Tuesday 29 August and we received some amazing feedback from the participants.

“Thank you so much for facilitating such an amazing workshop at the Emerging Leaders Programme workshop on Tuesday. Thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly meeting all the lovely members who attended. Took so much away from it and its left me feeling inspired and very excited for the rest of the programme.”
- Robyn Fairmaid, Town Planning Group
“Thanks again for the programme kick off workshop – such a valuable session – I really enjoyed connecting with others in the room as well as the facilitated sessions and speakers.”
- Samantha Stepney, Vega Lend
