We’re so excited to begin to plan in-person events, starting with our annual 114th Golf Classic on July 8th! Judging from how quickly the event filled up — many of you are certainly ready for it! I am incredibly proud of the events and programming that we have offered throughout the pandemic to keep our members informed and connected, and many of the articles you will find in this issue have stemmed from those events!
I am, however, so ready to see all of you in-person again!
Winning the Fun Way
Ryan D’Aprile and Josh Weinberg, YPN Boot Camp’s
guest speakers, share their practical goal setting and achievement strategies.
You may think, goal setting? Now? But we cannot measure or strategically achieve success without knowing what our end goals are. It’s never too late or too early to articulate your goals. I took their methods and applied them to my outstanding goals for the year and feel more prepared than ever to tackle some lofty new projects!
Dodging Digital Dangers
We’ve heard it from everywhere and everyone: more and more of the real estate transaction has become virtual. Much of it will stay that way even as social distancing guidelines become a thing of the past. How can we, as real estate professionals, protect our clients and ourselves from digital threats?
Don Boian, Cybersecurity Outreach Director at Huntington Bank and former Defense Intelligence Senior Executive at the National Security Agency (NSA), shares actionable tips you can implement to continue to transact safely.
Getting Personal with Video
At one of our Listening Tour events this spring, Erika Villegas shared how she was utilizing BombBomb to keep connected with clients and introduce them to her team who assist her throughout the homebuying process. I loved hearing the creative way she kept it personal, so make sure to read her insights.
I can’t wait to see all of you again, and as always, I’d love to hear from you!
