00:00The one woman I look up to at the moment is my maternal grandmother, her name's Beryl
00:18and what I've learned from her is to be loving and caring and soft but to be firm.
00:26So keep your boundaries but be a good person and be kind.
00:30One I'm looking up to always is I would say my sister.
00:35So she is a business owner, she taught me very young to manifest.
00:42I still remember when I was a teenager and she made me get a journal and go through magazines
00:47and cut out all the things I wanted and just to manifest that if there's something in life
00:51that you want to go after, you've got to do that.
00:54Go after it and put it in your goals and you'll do it.
00:58So she's definitely one of the people I always look to.
01:02I absolutely admire Julie Bishop.
01:05Now she's not only been phenomenal in terms of the political space but her fashion is on point.
01:10So big ticks for Julie, absolutely adore her.
01:12She's been a fantastic female leader, she's quite inspiring to the new generation
01:17but also she has fantastic values as well that I really admire.
01:21I'm looking up to a woman by the name of Leanne Pilkington.
01:25She was in charge of, she was CEO of Real Estate Institute of New South Wales.
01:31I actually met her when I was 18 years old.
01:34I went for a job opportunity with her to be one of her little PAs in her head office
01:39at Lang and Simmons back in the day and she was, it was right in the middle of the GFC
01:43and I didn't end up getting the job but I don't think it actually ended up even being a job
01:47at the end of the day and she was nothing but kind and sincere to me then.
01:50I met her three years ago at an Australian real estate conference up on the Gold Coast
01:55and she was again nothing but kind and sincere to me
01:58and she has taught me to believe in myself and be aware that nobody else is me
02:05and nobody else has what I have and to just back yourself in 100%.
