Yep – Part 3. Because we can, that’s why. 🙂 Actually, it’s because deliberately changing your beliefs turns out to be a potentially pretty involved process. Maybe that’s part of why not everybody wants to take it on. Of course, another possibility is that I’m overthinking it, right? Could be. We could always just take […]…

I’ve spent a lot of my career in spaces where there was a dynamic tension between plans and spontaneity. Creative spaces, spaces where humans come first, and also spaces where sometimes a lot of time, effort and resources have been put into preparing for “thing x” to happen in a prescribed amount of time, on time. […]…

Hey folks – for those of you that follow along, you’ll be aware that last week we explored the “do” part of “doing and being” in times of transition. So, as promised, this week we’re planning to consider some of the “be” part. I’ve already used up my pun quota, so all I’ll say is that […]By The Table Winnipeg

As you may know (and as Jimmy Kimmel recently reminded many of us), we sometimes have strong feelings about being interrupted. It would be easy to assume that those feelings are always unpleasant, but that’s not necessarily the case. As you may recall, three weeks ago the Talky Bit was queued up to be about thriving […]…

As some of you know, last week I had the opportunity to see the play “Glory!”. I’ve been struggling ever since with how to put words around that adventure. It’s not so much that I feel compelled to explain it (I’m not sure I could), but the experience was remarkable and I want to invite […]By The Table Winnipeg

There’s a Scottish mountain biker named Danny MacAskill whose skills I admire. To be clear, I’m not delusional enough to try to emulate him. It’s appreciation at a great distance. (For that string of sentences to truly make sense, check out this link to view a very fun doc about a project of his centred around doing […]…

So when I looked up the word “leisure” in the Oxford English Dictionary, the definition that came up simply said, “free time”. Remarkably succinct in any context, but almost startlingly so in the setting of the Oxford Dictionary. With that definition in view, the question I want to explore in the Talky Bit this coming Sunday […]…

I’m excited to be back at The Table this week! It’s been lovely to have some time away, and it also feels good to be home, including the part of “home” that is The Table. A big thanks to James and Tim Penner for taking on these past two Sunday mornings. I’ll say more about that […]By The Table Winnipeg

In this episode Rob and Beth discuss the concept of a "process predator" in the real estate industry, based on an article by Lee Goldstein and Dave Ledger. A process predator is an individual who learns from contacting multiple realtors, becoming more familiar with their routines and language, and developing a process to attack them. These predator…

It’s an odd problem being too polite. But realtors often put their safety at risk by being overly polite and accommodating. Admirable qualities for sure but they can lead to them ignoring their intuition when something feels off. Real Estate agents need to control their environment and not be afraid to say no when necessary. And an important point,…

In a discussion about realtor safety mobile apps, Beth and Rob express their skepticism about the effectiveness of these tools. Safety starts with the individual, not with a gadget or app. There are limitations with safety apps, such as the delay in response time and the potential for false alarms. And the nature of violent attacks is speed and unp…

There are misconceptions about self-defence tools… even dangers. And this applies to realtors in particular. Carrying such tools, like pepper spray or knives, can escalate situations and potentially put the realtor in more danger. The real self-defence tools are situational, environmental, and self-awareness. More than ever there’s a need for prope…

September is Realtor Safety Month across North America. This episode is dedicated to helping real estate professionals stay safe during open houses. Some of these tips, while highly effective, are counter intuitive, tips such as keeping the door UNlocked, never leading clients into rooms (despite what you’ve been taught), and marking on the sign-in…

Everything about it just felt like another real estate meeting. Kim Wiley had met a prospective client at an open house. She eventually went to the man’s home for an evaluation meeting both his wife and his kids. No red flags. Eventually they’d gone out looking at possible investment properties twice. The third time they were looking through a home…

In real estate a profound understanding of both social violence and anti-social violence is imperative. Social violence, footed in interpersonal conflicts and disputes, can emerge unexpectedly during negotiations or interactions with clients, requiring deft de-escalation and conflict resolution skills. Conversely, anti-social violence, driven by pr…
