We recently had the privilege of hosting Fran Federman, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer at CyrusOne, at our VWIRE (Veritas Women in Real Estate) mentoring program. Fran shared a powerful message that resonates deeply with our values here at Veritas: "Recognize where people can excel. Create development opportunities for your peers."   At Veritas, we live by this principle. We believe in recognizing the unique strengths and potential of each team member. But we don't stop there. We are committed to turning that recognition into action by creating meaningful development opportunities for our employees.   Here's how we bring Fran's inspiring words to life at Veritas:   - Mentoring and Coaching: Through programs like VWIRE, we connect emerging talent with experienced leaders. This mentoring not only provides invaluable guidance but also opens doors to new opportunities within the real estate sector.   - Continuous Learning: At Veritas, education is ongoing. We offer a variety of resources, ensuring our team stays ahead in a fast-evolving industry.   Fran's message is a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we focus on the strengths of our employees and invest in their development. At Veritas, we're proud to embody these values, creating a nurturing environment where women in real estate can thrive and excel. #WomenInRealEstate #womenempoweringwomen #womenshistorymonth #veritasinvestments

🌟 Our Recommendation Nominate Independent Governance Body Members before a professional investor enters the company. These members, free of conflicting interests, bring valuable competence, experience, networks, and impartial judgment to the table. 🔹 Why? Unbiased View: Ensure the governance body can carry out its duties effectively. Aligned Interests: Protect the company and align stakeholder interests. By fostering an environment of objective oversight, companies can navigate challenges more efficiently and maintain robust governance practices.

Cenovus is doing it. Cargojet too. And Maple Foods, and KingSett, and Allied Properties, and on and on and on. Their CEOs are 'retiring,' only to become executive chair. We've spent decades splitting the roles of board chair and CEO, because having one person do both creates so many conflicts. After all this progress, there's now this sexy title of exec chair, and if abused, it could just be a way for CEOs to never actually leave https://lnkd.in/gEphAi_Q #esg #governance

While navigating loss is part of work of systems change, it doesn't make it easy! In this post, I navigate loss at a personal, organisational and system level. Last week a chapter closed for Collaboration for Impact. After much preparation and planning, Liz Skelton stepped down from CFI's Board. Liz co-founded the organisation 10 years ago and steered its governance as our inaugural Chair. At a system level, Australia's social change sector is stronger and more able to do the hard work of shifting systems because of Liz's leadership and immense ability to build the capacity of others. She pioneered adaptive leadership practice in Australia and its critical role in systems change - training and mentoring 1000s of change leaders to see the system and their role in maintaining it, and then find ways to use their role and power to change systems towards equity and inclusion. Liz co-created the practice of Deep Collaboration with Mark Yettica-Paulson and 100s of people now think differently about how First Nations leaders and others can lead together. At an organisational level, CFI is one of Australia's leading intermediaries for changing systems because of Liz's vision and leadership. CFI relentlessly centres those most impacted by inequity, and has deep understanding of how collaboration, diversity, power, and leadership become the pathway to equitable systems because of Liz's values and practice. At a personal level, one does not set up an organisation that has a purpose to disrupt the status quo with just anyone. One does that only with a partner who has unshakeable integrity, an immense amount of courage and grit, always has your back, and an uncanny ability to see humour in pretty much everything. Liz was all of that and more. While I feel the loss of this chapter closing, I am honoured to have been Liz's co-founder and immensely grateful for the learning, laughs, legacy and lifelong friendship that the last 10 years has brought. Thank you Liz Skelton. x
