Love Your Power Series
Unapologetically Promote Yourself
Ida Fields, Vice President of Agent Marketing & Business Development at Corcoran shares her thoughts on the first step in the Love Your Power series, "Unapologetically Promote Yourself". Self- promotion is an essential tool for business advancement and networking, yet research shows that women are less likely to tout their skills, achievements and experience than men. It's time to change that.
Increase Your Self-Awareness
Dr. Susan Jenkins, Broker/ Owner of BHGRE Native American Group in Virginia Beach shares her thoughts on the second step in the Love Your Power series, "Increase Your Self-Awareness". A recent study showed that 95% of people believe they are self-aware, but the real number is 12-15%. That means, on a good day, about 80% of people are lying about themselves — to themselves. It’s time to live and love your truth!
Collaborate Often
Jodi Meyers, Executive Consultant, Growth Strategy for Century 21 shares her thoughts on the third step in the Love Your Power series, "Collaborate Often". Surrounding ourselves with others that have different viewpoints and perspective can push us to greatness. Networking and mentoring is a vital part of supporting values for women, to ensure representation occurs within the industry.
Lift Others As You Rise
Jody Lovell, Broker/ Owner Highlands Sotheby's International Realty shares her thoughts on the fifth step, "Lift Others As You Rise". Women are more less likely to apply for jobs then men and more likely to be feel like an ‘imposter’. As more women take on leadership role, it becomes more important that women continue to extend opportunities to others.
Identify Personal Guardrails
Denise W Strother, Broker/ Owner ERA Strother Real Estate, shares her thoughts on the sixth step in the Love Your Power series, "Identify Personal Guardrails". Professional success is fueled by personal success. Women are more likely to carry the load of personal and family responsibilities.
Hold Yourself Accountable
Kate Rossi, Regional Executive Vice President of the Eastern Region for Coldwell Banker Realty, shares her thoughts on the final step, "Hold Yourself Accountable". Now that you have done the work to explore, define and take action to Love Your Power don’t forget any solid business plan and strategy needs to be sustainable.
