Coaching Corner: Is THIS the right time?

Coaching Corner: Is THIS the right time?

By "Coach" Marilou Butcher Roth

In January, at the Winter Conference, 12 REALTORS will be graduating as the first class of the Ohio Association of REALTORS Leadership Academy! They will have gone through five modules packed with information regarding increased self-awareness, communication skills, knowledge of Associations and so much more!

This Leadership Academy opens avenues of learning that perhaps have not, as of yet, been on your radar. You may not be thinking of yourself as a leader -- I would invite you to reconsider that perception. We are in an industry where buyers and sellers are looking to us to lead the way for them to achieve one of the largest investments they will ever make. They count on us to communicate clearly, not to go ballistic when something is not going perfectly and to take them to the finish line -- their finish line. This requires leadership skills!!

If this is something you have considered, click here and you'll discover an array of Leadership Academy information. Take some time and read through it and see if this offering resonates with how you want to live your life and run your business. If it does, the application is available at the site. I'd encourage you to start the process soon, as the deadline to apply of Jan. 25 is right around the corner! Only 12 candidates will be accepted for the 2017 class!

One of our graduating members, Heather Dunn, made this comment regarding the Academy:

It has honestly been the most impactful professional experience I have ever had...not to mention the friendships I've developed and memories I've made. If you have any questions about the process, sessions or experience please let me know!

This is a decision only you can make for yourself. Are you open to learning how to expand yourself both professionally and personally? If you find yourself nodding "yes," then indeed, this may be the right time!
