Land Development Academy by Carina Guzmán

I’m truly honoured to be speaking at the Build Her Conference on October 29.

Land development has been my passion for over 15 years — not just for the projects themselves, but for the people and communities we get to impact along the way. Through Creative Dev Ventures and the Land Development Academy, I’ve had the privilege of helping others bring their visions to life and find purpose in the process.

I’m looking forward to connecting with so many incredible women who are each building something meaningful in their own way. It’s such a special space to learn and grow from one another.

If you’ll be attending, I can’t wait to meet you there. 💛

Congratulations to Kim on the first A Seat at the Table: Women in Leadership event — what a meaningful and beautifully curated evening.

Thank you for the invitation to join as the Featured Voice. It was a pleasure to share on Creating from Within: The Entrepreneurial Spirit and to be surrounded by such an inspiring group of women.

I had a truly wonderful time — thoughtful conversations, genuine connections, and a powerful sense of community. This is just the beginning, and I’m excited to see how this series continues to grow.

What’s a turnkey property in land development?
It’s not built — but it’s ready to go. 🚜✔️
From zoning to servicing, all the groundwork is done.

Perfect for builders, investors, and dealmakers who don’t want delays.

Read through to see why turnkey = faster ROI.

If there’s one book I return to again and again, it’s How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

It’s a timeless read — whether you’re fresh out of school or leading major projects, it always offers something new. The lessons are simple but powerful: listen well, lead with empathy, and build genuine relationships.

In land development, success rarely happens in isolation. This book is a reminder that surrounding yourself with the right people can take you further than going it alone. And to build those relationships, you need to be someone people want to collaborate with — curious, respectful, open.

Even outside of land dev, these skills are transferable. They help you grow, take bold steps, and navigate the unknown with confidence — and support.

If you're stepping into something new or leading others through it, this is a must-read!
