Tell us about your organization and your role in it.
Jane: “Our organization feels like an extension of my family; My wonderful employees care about each other and how they represent the brand. I am honored to work for such a strong, dynamic company that changes every day. I worked for the company for many years, took a short sabbatical and returned to become a director and franchise owner of the Woden/Weston offices. Being a woman in business has its challenges, but I can truly say that I have the support of my colleagues and co-workers in every decision I make.”
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Lyn: “My role is rewarding as not only do I get to work with clients but I also have a team of talented property managers and emerging property managers to mentor and develop. Both roles allow me to help people achieve growth and work towards the fulfillment of their goals.
“I’m able to use a range of skills on a daily basis and to be able to provide solutions for my clients, whether they are looking to build an investment portfolio or we are looking after their family home while on an assignment is something that gives me great satisfaction.
“Over the past seven years I have watched with pride as my team has grown and developed its skills and it is very important to me to help them achieve the next steps in their career. I want to lead by example and set my team up for success so we can achieve the best outcome for all of our clients.”
What do you think are the greatest strengths of your organization?
Lisa: “Our organization is strengthened by the relationship between business owners and team members. Our Directors want us to achieve our career and life goals and provide endless support and training to help us achieve our potential. We are team-oriented and work together to help ourselves and our clients achieve successful outcomes.
How long have you worked here?
Kaylene: “I will be celebrating 21 years with LJ Hooker on November 21st. The corporate culture and close relationships within the group have definitely contributed to my longevity. Anything is possible when you feel respected, encouraged and supported. I have had the great privilege of helping many families buy and sell; It is so enriching to be part of a family journey.”
What made you decide to join this organization?
Stacie: “When I was 18, I went to an interview with Matthew Herbert at LJ Hooker Dickson. I was so excited when I got the call back that it was successful. I joined LJ Hooker Dickson in 2002, 22 years later I am the Head of our Property Management Division / Business Development Manager in our Canberra City office.
“In my 22 years, I have built and nurtured many meaningful and successful relationships that I am still close to today. I’ve been invited to clients’ daughters’ weddings and been a part of special achievements in their lives. I have to say that I love my job and it definitely gets better every year. I have such a great team.
“During my career with LJ Hooker, I had two children (Cooper, 9, and Emily, 7) and they are also part of the LJ Hooker family. My daughter walks around with my business cards, hands them out to people, and tells me that one day she will work at LJ Hooker.”
