A career built on people and purpose.

With nearly 20 years’ experience working in and leading teams across property, business development, and operations, I’ve spent my career helping organisations evolve through clarity, culture, and better ways of working.

I have personally managed properties, held business development roles, overseen substantial rent roll growth and have built and managed high performing teams and businesses.
Alongside my consulting work, I hold senior leadership roles across the industry and regularly contribute through speaking, media, and strategic collaboration.
‍
I am currently Deputy President of the Real Estate Institute of Australia, and President of The Real Estate Institute of the ACT. I was awarded ACT Telstra Business Woman of the Year (Medium and Large business) in 2020 and am a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Practical advice that actually works

Hannah was invaluable in setting up our business. Her advice is practical and clear, from knowing when we truly needed a lawyer or accountant, to building systems that work and sharpening our lead generation. Just as importantly, she shows up with warmth and care, taking calls at short notice, talking us through concerns, and offering calm, seasoned advice right when we needed it. We would not be where we are without her! We highly recommend her to anyone building a new business or looking to reset and strengthen what they already have.

Kendelle & Samantha — All Teams Culture

Engaging speaker with real impact

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Hannah across multiple events over the years, and she truly is exceptional. Hannah has a natural ability to connect with an audience. She is engaging, down-to-earth, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every time Hannah speaks, she brings clarity, energy and genuine value. She doesn’t just inspire in the moment; she leaves people with practical insights they can actually use. She has a wonderful way of making complex ideas feel relatable and easy to understand. Hannah is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a speaker who creates real impact and leaves a lasting impression.

Hayley Mitchell — Director, MitchellPT

Inspiring, practical, and deeply authentic

Hannah was a standout speaker at our event. From the moment she took the stage, she had the room engaged with her energy, authenticity and confidence. She delivers her message in a way that is both inspiring and incredibly practical, making complex ideas easy to understand and immediately relevant. What sets Hannah apart is her ability to truly connect with an audience. She doesn’t just speak at people, she brings them along with her. Her session sparked meaningful conversations, challenged thinking, and left attendees feeling motivated and empowered long after the event finished. Hannah is professional, passionate and a natural on stage. She brings depth, clarity and genuine value, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a speaker for any event looking to create impact, connection and real takeaways.

Nina Sutton — Managing Director, Property Management Partners

Clear thinking backed by experience

Hannah possesses a rare combination of skills that have delivered substantial benefits to all her clients. She is an incisive analyst who can provide pragmatic and practical solutions to the table which are communicated in a down-to-earth, clear and engaging manner. Her depth of knowledge and strong EQ, combined with innovative and creative insights have ensured clients' needs are consistently exceeded. As a keynote she is a must! She has a natural style that conveys authenticity and maintains audience interest. Even more importantly, she delivers on content! And its content that is practical and useful, based on years of experience and learning. Hannah is simply someone whose track record speaks for itself and whose commitment to excellence pays dividends for any clients.

Cuts through fluff immediately

Even though we are not real estate agents, we brought Hannah in to run her Culture Playbook session with our team, and she just cut through the fluff. She's practical, she's direct, and she made everyone feel like they were part of the solution rather than being talked at. That session sparked conversations that kept going long after she left. I've also seen Hannah speak more times than I can count – including at our Elite Retreat in Bali – and she connects with a room in a way that only comes from actually having done the work. She's not speaking from theory. She's built teams, run a business, lived the reality of real estate leadership. And that authenticity comes through every single time.

Samantha McLean — Elite Agent

Deep industry expertise and credibility

The thing about Hannah is that she actually 'gets it.' She’s spent years in the trenches of property management, at every level, and it shows in everything she does. It’s one thing to talk about industry standards, but it’s another to lead the charge at the national level. Whenever I see Hannah speak or engage with a group of leaders, I’m struck by how she cuts through the noise as an expert but remains curious in every interaction. Her style of practical, leadership-driven insights make you rethink how you’re running your own team and what's truly possible. For anyone looking to raise the bar in their agency, Hannah is the high-quality human you want in your corner. She’s exactly the kind of leader our industry needs more of.

Sam Nokes — realestate.com.au

Leadership development grounded in reality

Hannah Gill has worked with the REIT as a special guest trainer, delivering leadership and culture-focused sessions for businesses within the real estate industry. Hannah brings a thoughtful, engaging, and highly practical approach to leadership development. Her sessions explore the real drivers of positive workplace culture, effective leadership behaviours, and sustainable team performance, while remaining grounded in the real-world challenges faced by business owners and leaders. She combines strong facilitation skills with genuine insight, encouraging attendees to think differently about how leadership, communication, and culture directly impact business outcomes. Hannah’s professionalism, preparation, and authenticity make her a valued contributor to REIT’s professional development offerings. Her work has supported leaders to build stronger teams, improve workplace culture, and lead with greater confidence and clarity. REIT is pleased to recommend Hannah Gill as a facilitator and trainer in leadership and organisational culture.

Michelle Tynan — CEO, Real Estate Institute of Tasmania

Trusted advice with real substance

I have listened to Hannah Gill and the wisdom she shares for many years. Whether she’s consulting or training for Woodards, or delivering a keynote at an industry event, Hannah is the person I turn to when I need advice that works in the real world, not just on paper. In an industry full of opinions, Hannah consistently delivers facts, clarity, and solutions.

Her depth of knowledge and experience is enormous, but what really sets her apart is her ability to make complex issues make sense and even enjoyable. She is warm, charismatic, and incredibly sharp, and she has a rare talent for walking into a room and immediately lifting the standard of thinking.

There are very few people in this industry whose advice I take without a second thought. Hannah is one of them. If she says it, I listen. And I usually take notes.

Simon Fung — Department Manager, Property Management, Woodards

Trusted advice with real substance

At Ainslie Football Club, we recently undertook a full refresh of our culture and values across our entire senior program, both Men’s and Women’s. Hannah led this project on behalf of our board, and the outcome was outstanding. She expertly engaged stakeholders, facilitated focus groups, gathered feedback, and distilled it all into a clear, concise and practical framework for the club.

Her professionalism and ability to communicate and gain genuine buy-in from across the organisation made the process both effective and enjoyable. The outcomes of this work remain highly relevant today and are proudly displayed throughout our change rooms, shaping the behaviours and standards our club and players hold themselves to. It was an exceptional body of work delivered by Hannah.
