In early August, AE Wes Stefanick and President Elect Angela Tolosky went to Chicago for the national association’s Leadership Summit. This event brings together staff and volunteer leaders together for a 3-day conference to discuss leadership, goal-setting, team-building, and REALTOR® programs. This year was very exciting. It began with an introduction to the NAR Leadership Team for 2020 and various speakers discussed upcoming events, initiatives, and goals. A special presentation by Second City Improv group taught attendees about ways to properly present oneself and tools and tricks to be fully invested in conversations and general relationships. Another speaker was Janine Drive, a New York Times bestselling author of You Say More Than You Think and You Can’t Lie to Me . She is also the founder, president, and lead instructor of the Body Language Institute where she offers advanced communications training. She taught the audience many interesting facts about body language and ways to tell if someone is lying or telling the truth. The summit ended with a hugely impactful keynote speaker, Jesse Itzler. Jesse was a rapper, entrepreneur, and long-distance (100+ miles) runner. He talked about ways to reach your goals and he would know, he sold his company, Marquis Jets to Warren Buffet. All in all, it was a fantastic conference and it is hugely anticipated every year. Maybe one day you’ll join me as RBAR President Elect?
