CRE Women’s Leadership Lab

Practical leadership development, coaching, and community for women in commercial real estate.

Join for $79/month. Cancel anytime.

Leadership is learned, not innate.

Women remain underrepresented in senior CRE leadership. According to CREW Network’s 2025 Benchmark Study, women hold approximately 9% of C-suite positions in commercial real estate — a figure that has changed less than 1 percentage point in the past 10 years. 

The CRE Women’s Leadership Lab is a monthly leadership development space for women in commercial real estate who want practical tools, real-world coaching, and an industry-specific community as they grow into leadership.
Because if we want more women in leadership — and enjoying it — we have to make growth, support, and development easier to access.

$79/month. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

Access the support you need to lead well and enjoy it.

Women in commercial real estate are being asked to lead bigger teams, speak up in bigger rooms, manage more complexity, and build more visibility — often without the leadership development or support they actually need.

The CRE Women’s Leadership Lab was built to make leadership more accessible, more enjoyable, and more sustainable for women in commercial real estate.

It’s time for change.
