For over 25 years, Rhonda Berlino worked in high pressure, high stress environments. Working with Real Estate professionals, as a Sales Executive at a Fortune 250 Company, as a coach specialising in business development, professional development, and lead generation. She worked with countless brokers and agents to help them increase profits, bring in new leads, close bigger deals. She created and often taught customised certified CEU classes to keep their people compliant. She worked long hours, travelled constantly, and ignored the signs that her body was giving her. As a driven, talented professional who was all in, she pushed through and kept pushing through with the confidence and energy of someone who knew that she could handle whatever was thrown at her. Until she couldn't. She found herself in the emergency room.
