Beyond Four Walls - With Jodie Fraser
Victoria Clark | One Voice Where There Should be Many | Her Journey to RICS Governing Council
In this episode, Jodie Fraser sits down with Victoria Clark, an Associate Director at Anthem Management and the only woman standing for the RICS Governing Council Residential Property seat.
Out of thousands who could have stood, Vicky is using her voice to represent those who too often feel unheard within the profession. Her message is powerful:
“One voice where there should be many. That’s the contrast. That’s the shock.
Balance isn’t about replacing men. It’s about making space for everyone.”
Together, Jodie and Vicky discuss what it means to challenge the status quo, the importance of gender balance and inclusivity in professional bodies, and the courage it takes to step forward when it would be easier to stay quiet.
They also explore the realities of modern property management — from governance and representation to the need for stronger community and transparency within RICS.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes in building a profession where every voice matters.
