Beyond the Signboard with Amy Bennett

Have you ever wondered what it takes to transition from the high-stakes world of fashion marketing to topping the charts in real estate? Join me, Amy Bennett, as I share an invigorating conversation with the formidable Jodie Hedley-Ward. From her eclectic career that spans business conferences to fashion marketing, and her eventual rise in the real estate sector, Jodie has a tale that will both educate and inspire. We delve into her story, unpacking how she skillfully harnessed her diverse skill set to become not only the Sunshine Coast Corporate Business Woman of the Year but also a top figure within the McGrath Network.
The real estate industry often appears wrapped in glitz and glamour, maskings its true depth and the dedication it demands. As Jodie and I dissect, you'll discover that this world is about more than just buying and selling property; it's about community, strategy, and genuine service. Prepare to have your preconceptions of real estate shattered as we discuss the misconceptions and the unvarnished truths of what it takes to succeed. The episode also spotlights our personal commitment to community service, including our team's initiative to support local charities, emphasizing how integral giving back is to our professional ethos.
Finally, we address a significant facet of the real estate industry that deserves more limelight: the empowerment of women. Jodie and I explore the mentorship dynamic, the impact of real estate on family life, and the importance of financial literacy. Through candid discussions, we aim to empower not just women in real estate but anyone with aspirations that reach beyond their immediate horizon.
Listen as we also touch on life's simple joys and my anticipation for a dream trip to Uluru, reminding listeners that life and career success can harmoniously coexist with personal passions and adventure.
