A chat with Kathy Levy, Leaders Elite participant
A Conversation with Kathy Levy, a Leaders Elite Participant
1. How long have you been in real estate? Where and with what company?
I’ve been a Realtor almost 30 years. Now I work with Watson Realty Corp. in Amelia Island, Florida and St. Mary’s, Georgia.
2. What made you decide to take the Leader’s Choice classes, particularly the Leaders Elite program?
I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have been through a round of radiation and chemotherapy, so I needed something to help me get my career back on track. I first took the Leader’s Choice courses several years ago and continued with coaching after that. Now I am making some changes in my life and my work and so I signed up for the Leaders Elite program to help me get organized. The webinars have been great for reenergizing.
3. Has your real estate income increased since you started the
Leaders Elite program?
My real estate income has been holding steady, which is really positive when you consider the market and my health issues.
4. What do you think has been the most important thing you learned through the Leaders Elite program?
The most important lesson has been to maintain consistency. It is so important to get all my commitments on paper and then to follow through with all of them. I love following the weekly schedule and being accountable to myself for keeping up with my commitments. It’s important to be reminded to continue to work with your sphere of influence and still reach out to new people, too.
5. What has been the most challenging aspect of your career during the past year? How have you resolved it?
My health issues have been the biggest challenge. I think the important lessons I learned through Leader’s Choice is that you need self-discipline and to be accountable to yourself. I was able to still do that while fighting my illness. I’m learning to reorganize my time so I am not working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I am setting a plan for where to go and not wasting as much time on unprofitable business.
6. Have there been other specific tips from the Leaders Elite webinars or coaching which have helped you? How?
Mostly I’ve learned to look at the way I’ve been doing business to determine what will work for me now. It’s great to have reminders about getting back to basics, to remember to smile and to keep to your name out there all the time. The Leaders Elite program is really helping me get more organized, too.
