• Martin Leuenberger - Coaching Series Part 2
    Sep 13 2023

    Hello and welcome!

    This month, my friend and colleague Martin Leuenberger joins me for part 2 of our mini series on performance and potential coaching.

    In season 2, episode 7, I interviewed Marty, where he shared his remarkable journey from development management into performance coaching as well as the coaching that I would be undergoing with Marty’s guidance. 

    Today, we delve deeper into the coaching sessions I've experienced so far, exploring the data we've collected and my reflections on the invaluable benefits of being coached.

    You’ll get a glimpse of how fundamental aspects like boundaries and self-talk profoundly impact our performance, resilience, and overall potential.

    Happy Listening!

    Hello and welcome!

    This month I’m thrilled to share a conversation I recorded with John Foong - Chief Revenue Officer at Domain Group.

    In this conversation, John shares his career journey and experiences through some of the world's most innovative companies, including McKinsey, Google, Uber, and now Domain Group.

    You’ll get a glimpse of how John's audacious mindset, adaptability, and focus on learning have enabled him to take on various leadership roles, emphasising the significance of building high-performance teams and making a positive impact in both for-profit and non-profit environments.

    We also touch on the state of construction and development in Sydney as well as the way technology is impacting the real estate industry with a particular emphasis on how Domain Group enables people on both sides of the purchasing equation make more informed and astute decisions.

    Happy Listening!

    Hello and welcome!

    This month I sit down to speak with Rebecca Angel, Founder and Managing Director of Level 6 Venture Management.

    Level 6 is a boutique project management and advisory firm that partners with a range of high profile players in property and construction.

    Rebecca, like myself, trained as an Architect but found her passion and purpose in business building and leadership within our industry.

    She has an incredibly interesting international career journey working at Rafael Viñoly Architects and Westfields in London and also taking the plunge in starting her first business while overseas.  

    I wanted to speak with Rebecca not only because of the similarities in our training and current business models but also to learn more about her leadership insights and how she has gone about building Level 6. 

    Enjoy!

    Jun 13 2023

    Hello and welcome to Business and Property Development.

    In this month’s episode I had the opportunity to collaborate on an episode with Jock Gammon - co-founder of Junglefy. Junglefy is a pioneering company that develops, builds and maintains nature-based solutions. 

    If you live in Sydney you’ll no doubt recognise the iconic One Central Park on Broadway - a residential tower that's draped in vertical gardens. That’s just one of the many possibilities and opportunities when it comes to nature-based solutions.

    Unfortunately as of late last month Junglefy has chosen to wind down its operations. At a time when we desperately need to reconnect with nature, bring nature into our cities in a significant way and make bolder moves with the integration of landscaping into all typologies, this is very sad to see.

    Despite the news we’re still sharing this conversation because of the relevance and significant value in what Jock has to say. 

    Within this episode you’ll get a glimpse of the knowledge and passion that Jock has for nature and nature-based solutions within our cities.

    So without further ado please enjoy my conversation with Jock Gammon.

  • Allen Sammut - Part 2
    May 16 2023

    This month’s episode features an amazing collaboration with Allen Sammut CEO and MD of Sammut Group.

    If you're in the industry you’ll no doubt have heard of Sammut Group and the amazing developments they have delivered and have in the pipeline.

    What you may not know is the rich family history and heritage that three generations of the Sammut family have been building and nurturing over the last 40 years.

    I always marvel at how family businesses begin, evolve and successfully pass the baton on to the next generation who in turn add their touch and legacy. This was one of the primary reasons I wanted to speak with Allen to find out more about his stories and journey.

    Suffice to say, given the success that Sammut Group has achieved, Allen is one of the most humble and modest business leaders I've had the privilege to speak with.

    I wont say too much more as I’ll let Allen’s passion for both his company and his projects do the talking.

    So with that in mind, settle in and enjoy a fantastic journey by an amazing individual.

  • Sarah Reilly - Part 2
    Apr 11 2023

    Hello and welcome!

    This month’s episode features Sarah Reilly - Founder and MD of Cred Consulting.

    In property development circles, Cred are leaders in the fields of social planning, research and engagement. They play a pivotal role in advising government authorities and private developers how best to utilise their land to achieve optimum social outcomes.

    We are all aware, particularly in Sydney, how bleak communities can become when planning frameworks are ill considered or site-based development approaches are the preferred or only viable method of delivery.

    Aside from building out Cred’s experience in the field, Sarah has created a business that operates with extreme clarity in their purpose, values and mission.

    Listen in to find out more about how Sarah has built Cred and her insights into why social planning should be front and centre in the initial planning phases of development projects.
