2024-25 Ferguson Fellow Audrey Ochner

As a fellow at the Ferguson Center for Leadership Excellence, I have had the privilege of participating in the Leadership Academy, which offers a range of opportunities, including personalized coaching sessions, webinars focused on both technical and soft skills, and valuable career development resources. A key aspect of the program is the tuition assistance provided, which supports our journey towards completing our undergraduate degrees.

Through the fellowship, I have greatly benefited from one-on-one coaching sessions that focus on goal-setting and execution.The chance to connect with industry mentors has also been invaluable, allowing me to build meaningful relationships within the real estate sector. I am able to work closely with the entire Ferguson CLE team, to track my academic progress and effectively plan my post-graduate endeavors.

Beyond the academic support, the fellowship fosters connections with other fellows from across the nation. Collaborating with peers has broadened my perspectives and insights to current industry trends.

Throughout the program, the Ferguson Center has ensured that their core values of integrity, leadership and equity are clearly demonstrated and incorporated into every aspect of the program. This fellowship has not only challenged me to strive for excellence, but has also provided the support and resources to help me become the best version of myself.
