😍 This is a kind write-up by The Agency Collective | B Corp Certified Jeni Ashdown Amy Moore Rob Key ahead of tomorrow's Future Proofing Conference. I'll do my best to live up to its billing by bringing honesty, insight and a sprinkling of vulnerability to my session covering Resilient Growth: Mastering New Business Challenges. 🎤 My panel compadres Katie Street and Ben Potter are way more legendary than me and with a room full of brave agency Founders, Co-founders and assorted leaders, I'll do my best to counter the imposter syndrome bubbling beneath the surface. ❓ I am envisaging having to answer a key question; "What has been the most valuable thing I've learned in my career which has helped create resilience in the face of new business challenges?" - it's a crucial question and if whatever comes out of my mouth tomorrow doesn't hit the mark for you, message me separately or catch me at the event for a one-to-one chat. Until tomorrow or another time soon, Rich #agency #agencylife #businessdevelopment

It requires a delicate balance of decisiveness and empathy, vision and pragmatism. In my years working for the State of Texas and in the private sector, I've learned some hard-won lessons about what it takes: • Communicate openly and often. Transparency builds trust. • Listen to your team. They're closest to the problems and often have the best solutions. • Celebrate small wins. Momentum matters when climbing a steep hill. • Stay focused on the mission. Never lose sight of why the work matters. • Turnarounds are a team sport. Empower your people, stay the course, and amazing things can happen. That's been my experience. What's yours? Let me know in the comments. #TXStateLeadership #TexasStateGovernment #LeadingChange #GovTurnarounds

Dan Martell’s words are a powerful reminder of a truth we see far too often with business owners: Waiting for the “𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞” only to realise time has passed you by. Everyone wants success, yet so many resist the very changes needed to achieve it. It’s human nature to cling to the familiar, to repeat the same actions while hoping for different results. But hope alone isn’t a strategy, and comfort zones rarely lead to growth. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫? #Lead2Scale #LeadershipGrowth #ChangeStartsWithin

I recently changed my email signature from “Principal” to “CEO.” It’s a small typographical change but a big mental shift that reflects how much my role as founder of Bramble and Bird has evolved, even in as little as 6 months... So begins my latest blog post (after a bit of a hiatus). Check it out and let me know what you think. #womenintech #womenininsurance #womanownedbusiness #ceo #founderstories #newsletter #leadership #changemanagement #consulting #purposedriven #growthmindset #coach

So, whether you've been binge-watching these videos or this is your first dive into the content, you might be wondering, "Hey Anna-Marie, how do I really get what my team's about? How do I know their vibe?" And just to clarify, when I say 'team,' I'm not just talking about agents; I mean your awesome crew, the folks who keep the wheels turning under your brokerage or team. You might be thinking, "Am I missing something here? Are my people getting the love they deserve?" Well, fear not, because there's a simple way to find out: send out a survey. I've got a sample survey that's worked wonders for us in the past. We asked questions like, "How's the vibe around here?" And you know what we found out? Our team values professional development big time. They were totally upfront about it, saying, "Hey, you're giving agents all this cool stuff. What about us?" So, in 2024, we doubled down on supporting the whole team. I'm here to lend a hand to you and your brokerage. I can help you amp up the professional development for your crew, so they can take charge of their own growth, which, in turn, helps them lead others like pros. Trust me, when you invest in your team, your brokerage will see some serious results. #Leadership #RealEstate #RealEstateBrokerage #RealEstateOperations #LeadershipDevelopment #OrganizationalHealth #ProfessionalDevelopment

Tiny Unintentional Misunderstandings → Emerging Conflicts → Major Dysfunctions A couple of weeks ago, a client reached out for help. During our 45-minute conversation, I reflected back what I heard by sketching a visual summary of our discussion. Here's an output from that sketch. I'm curious: Have you encountered this issue before? What strategies might you suggest to avoid heading down this path? #servantleadership Rising Sun Consultants, LLC
