I recently decided to change my career from being a corporate employee to owning my own business as a real estate agent. As I prayed and realized that having a career in real estate is not simply selling nor buying houses, but it’s more like leading your clients to make a wise decision that is best for them and their family. After all, selling or buying a house is one of the biggest transactions in a person’s life. So, when Edna told me that she’ll host a book discussion on John Maxwell’s book “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”, I was elated. I knew God had heard and answered my prayers by leading me to this book discussion group. I’ve heard of John Maxwell for a while now, but have never read his book. So, I was so excited when not only I’ll be reading his book, but also to be in a discussion group that was hosted by someone that had been trained under his team.
Each of the chapters in the book was truly a revelation for me. Coming from a corporate background, I’ve always been an employee; so these laws were not relatable to me at all…until now. I’m so glad I got to learn theses laws as a new realtor, and I hope and pray that I will apply them to better help my clients with their real estate needs. I’ve been in several book discussions before, but I really like the ones that were led by Edna because:
1) She truly was passionate about what was taught. She desired for us to learn and apply to our lives that will better help us with our business venture
2) She was so knowledgeable about all the topics
3) Everyone was serious about learning and came with a heart of expectation
4) Everybody came from a different background and with different experiences, so we all can learn from each others’ mistakes
5) Edna really respected our times by started on time and ended on time.
I would absolutely recommend this group discussion to any friends of mine that have a desire to learn how to be a better leader.
