“Women often have a very different perspective on what is important to their business, how to achieve their personal and career goals, and thrive on being part of a community with common challenges,” Noble told Canadian Mortgage Professional.
Finding that voice and forging ahead in the industry can be easier said than done, particularly for newcomers and those starting out on their mortgage journey – whether that be in the realm of lending or brokering.
For Noble, the best thing a young woman in the industry can do to build themselves up and establish a foothold is learning from those who’ve been there and done that already, as well as taking as inquisitive an approach as possible to their job.
“Be curious,” she said. “Ask questions – lots and lots of questions. Find a mentor or group of individuals that share information and keep each other motivated.”
Women in Mortgage Summit returning to Toronto in June
Women are a community in the mortgage industry, a group whose abilities to relate through shared experiences, lean on each other in times of challenge and success, and provide advice and guidance are all indispensable parts of helping drive the mortgage industry toward equality.
