Hayley Elliott (Van de Ven)’s story of juggling multiple roles of business owner, wife and mother attracted Christina Guidotti, CEO of Christina Guidotti International, founder of Leading Women Programs and partner at Thought Leaders Global, and led to her inclusion on the speaker program at the Leading Women Event, held at The Palazzo Versace, Gold Coast on 16th October this year.
Ms Van de Ven chose a real estate career when straight out of high school. A successful sales agent by 18, her career went from strength to strength. After 12 years of selling, managing and collecting awards, she added two and half years of corporate experience while growing the RE/MAX brand throughout Queensland.
In 2016, Ms Van de Ven stepped into business ownership, with RE/MAX Results based in the Brisbane suburb of Morningside. Her office enjoys top market share. She opened her second RE/MAX Results office in Mackay, Queensland in May this year.
“I have worked with Christina for three years and she has been my mentor for the past 18 months, and I credit her for my realization that any success I experience is a result of the effort I put in, that nothing in my business or personal life happens by accident.
“Christina wanted me to especially share my experience of transitioning from sales agent to real estate principal, how that meant learning to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, about the life changes it brought and incredible necessity of aligning professional and personal values.
“And she believed I would deliver a powerful message to 250 women with humility and as a ‘real’ person.
“I was terrified given the calibre of women in the audience at the event, across all industries, let alone the other five speakers,” she said.
Christina Guidotti draws amazing women who want to live extraordinary lives to her Leading Women events, which have become among the most powerful growth days for women in Australia, where they can learn and be inspired by those who know what it takes to reach greater achievement and fulfilment and enjoy their best health, wealth and relationships. She is Australia’s leading speaker, author and advisor on belief, commitment and conviction and an expert on transformation and leadership.
RE/MAX Results, RE/MAX Regency, RE/MAX United Vision, RE/MAX Victory and RE/MAX Australia Corporate were a strong presence in the audience at the Leading Women Event.
