Barry Plant has appointed real estate education expert, Lee Woodward, to deliver a tailored leadership and training program for its network.
Barry Plant CEO Lisa Pennell said “The greatest opportunity in real estate, as I see it, lies in leadership. People today are seeking more purpose, and creating high-performing, fulfilled teams is essential to shaping our future.
“Lee Woodward is a name that holds enormous credibility in the real estate industry. His programs have been the foundation of countless successful careers, and securing his expertise to deliver tailored, future-focused training for our agents and leaders in 2025 gives us a significant edge in a highly competitive market.
“Lee brings decades of hands-on experience, and we’re thrilled to be able to draw on that knowledge as we continue to evolve and grow.”
Woodward said he was impressed with the number of long-term team members still with the brand.
“In an industry known for high turnover, Barry Plant’s continuity stands out. The leadership is modern and forward-thinking, and the culture is vibrant. It’s a happy, motivated team – not something you see everywhere in real estate. It’s a group I’m genuinely excited to work with.”
Chris Hill, director of Barry Plant Warragul – Drouin said the first leadership session.
“It’s a real game changer for business owners and leaders, providing clarity and focus on what truly matters. There were heaps of gold nuggets around recruitment, business autonomy and building the right frameworks. I’m genuinely excited to keep learning everything I can from Lee,” Hill said.
