Business Performance
Jade Strampel
Acting Head of Health & Safety, Tataki Auckland Unlimited
Hormonal Health: The overlooked workplace risk factor
Your team’s off their game. Your star performer’s losing steam. Your clients are getting harder to deal with. What if it’s not just “stress”? What if it’s hormones?
Let’s talk about what no one in property wants to say out loud:
Menopause. Manopause.
Hormonal shifts.
"As a Health, Safety, and Wellbeing professional, I’ve seen the disconnect. People are burning out, underperforming, or quietly disengaging. No one’s asking why or talking about it due to the stigma attached to hormonal changes."
We’re not here for a biology lesson. It’s a real-world workplace reality – and it’s already affecting your people, your performance, and your bottom line. Most workplaces haven’t caught up. We’re working and leading longer lives, yet most workplaces aren’t built to handle the very human shifts that come with age, stress, and life stages.
Often, the real cause isn’t being addressed.
Here’s what gets missed:
✓ Perimenopause symptoms can hit as early as the mid-30s – bringing brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, and mood swings. Often misread as stress or poor attitude.
✓ Menopause peaks alongside women’s careers, often in leadership – and are met with misunderstanding instead of support.
✓ Male testosterone levels decline from as young as 20 and this can show up as irritability, fatigue, or lack of drive – and often gets brushed off or punished.
✓ Layer in stress, poor sleep, workload, and personal life pressure – and you’ve got a perfect storm.
✓ These shifts don’t happen in a vacuum. They show up in your teams, in your meetings, in how you manage clients – and in how clients respond.
“We’re not here to diagnose. We’re here to wake up. When you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, you stop misjudging people and start managing smarter. Culture shifts fast when you lead with insight instead of assumptions.”
Craeg Williams
Managing Director, Tenancy

Attending this session you will learn game changing, powerful tools and mind hacks that will allow you to see opportunities, attract the people, things and experiences you want into your life- like magic.
Join Craeg in this mind expanding session that will help you on your journey to becoming limitless using the power of presence and the law of attraction.
Growth & Scale
Gareth Clark
Growth Specialist
Grow your property management business through honesty and vulnerability.
You might remember Gareth Clark - sales weapon, SAS - tech stack guru, top bloke. Gareth helped Tenancy scale. He was closing 100 + new business per year and he introduced sales systems that are still used to this day. He’s back and he’s going to share his story and his strategies, but this time, it’s personal.
“In 2016, I survived a life-threatening accident that altered my perspective. I was given a second chance – the fears I had disappeared and I was no longer paralysed by worry. We’re here to enjoy life – not live in fear.”
That night changed Gareth’s outlook, and unlocked a sales philosophy built on integrity, vulnerability, honesty which creates trust and real human connection.
This year at the TMC Conference, Gareth is stepping on stage to share:
✓ The unbelievable story of the night that changed his life
✓ Why vulnerability beats pressure in modern sales
✓ How to create growth in your property management business
✓ His 4-part sales system (Connect → Educate → Reassure → Close)
✓ How to manage your pipeline effectively
✓ Why “sales” isn’t a dirty word if it’s done correctly
“Sales should feel smooth, dynamic, and human. If it feels hard – it’s either the wrong system or the wrong person in the role.”
You’ll definitely wince. You might laugh or cry. But most importantly, you’ll walk away understanding how to grow.
