Local Real Estate Professional Attends International Leadership Forum
Rapid City, South Dakota (Grassroots Newswire) February 13, 2018 -- Jaima Knutson-Colson, Realtor / Director of Development with EXIT Realty Black Hills traveled to Grapevine Texas recently to attend EXIT Realty Corp. International’s first-of-its-kind Leadership Forum which brought together professionals from all facets of the organization in a two-day summit focused on building individual leadership skill sets. The Forum was dedicated to the memory of EXIT Realty’s Vice President of Personal Development, Bill "The Bald Eagle" Nasby.
Keynote speakers included Dr. Mike Armour. With ten books to his credit, six in the field of leadership, Armour has been published in over a dozen languages worldwide. In 2001, he launched Strategic Leadership Development International Inc. based in Dallas, Texas and since then he has coached and trained thousands of executives and entrepreneurs. Also on the dais was internationally renowned speaker, Richard Flint. Hailed as one of America’s top personal development speakers, Flint is an author and lifestyle coach to those seeking to stop repeating and start achieving.
The Leadership Forum was the brainchild of EXIT Realty Corp. International’s Director of Leadership, Bob McKinnon. "When John Maxwell says, ’Everything rises or falls on leadership’ he has offered a simple but powerful truth," said McKinnon. "At EXIT Realty, we believe that strong leadership accelerates growth and enriches lives."
Individuals from the company’s corporate Executive team, Regional Owners, Broker/Owners and Agents gathered with a single goal; to learn practical tools to help raise their leadership lid. Veteran Broker/Owners, Nick Libert from Illinois, Parise Cormier from New Brunswick, Jim Mazziotti from Oregon and Bernadette Cole from Maryland, spoke candidly about the development of their multi-award-winning brokerages. Bill Pankonin, Regional Owner of EXIT Realty Upper Midwest who recently acquired the subfranchisor rights to Illinois, spoke on "Leading Effectively into the Future." U.S. Divisional President Craig Witt spoke on "It’s Not the Role, It’s the Goal." Five of EXIT’s John Maxwell Team-certified trainers including Mazziotti and Cole as well as Alex Cole from Maryland, Rick O’Neil from New York and Andre Malenfant from New Brunswick will lead attendees in focused mastermind sessions in the weeks to come.
As John Maxwell would say, “We are committed to raising our leadership lid.” "I believe it is key for myself and EXIT Realty Black Hills to continue to grow and evolve so as to help guide and encourage our agents to be better people, thus building a better company," said Jaima Knutson-Colson, EXIT Realty Black Hills.
"Our entire focus is on building better people," said Tami Bonnell, CEO, EXIT Realty Corp. International. "By building better people we build a better company."
