Mortgage Choice 2026 Aspire roadshow
The Mortgage Choice Aspire roadshow recently took place, bringing together women in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Now in its sixth year, Aspire is the talent program for the women in the Mortgage Choice network. The roadshows are designed to inspire attendees and foster a sense of community for franchise owners, brokers, their teams, and their networks.
The roadshow’s keynote speaker was Dr Yemi Penn – engineer, entrepreneur, and documentary filmmaker who introduced her framework Rebellious Curiosity, which challenged attendees to deconstruct inherited narratives around success, wealth, gender roles, and leadership. Penn provided attendees with practical tools to evaluate their habits and navigate change with clarity to confidently own their future.
