Laying The Foundations for a Supportive Network

20 minutes

‘If you are someone who wants to do the best they can and understands that there are other people who know things that you don’t then this is the place to go, it’s a great opportunity to meet new people’

Desmond explains why attending the upcoming annual IRPM Seminar is important for everyone in the industry. He explains the reason he attends every year and the value of connecting face to face.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The IRPM seminar is an important annual event and it’s a pivotal moment if you are in the block management sector or property management as its one of the few events where a significant number of people attend.

Don’t see it as a waste of time, it’s the perfect storm there is not another occasion where you can speak with like-minded people who are experiencing the same challenges and overcoming the same problems.

In talking to people, you will find people you want to stay connected with.

If you share an answer with someone it is a very powerful foundation for a future relationship.

It becomes powerful if you are also a resource for others, you can't just take, you have to be willing to be a resource yourself.

if you come from a place of service its then easy to pick up the phone and ask someone else for help.

The rawness of having the conversation provides the opportunity to help.

Sometimes you fashion your own opportunities to help during a conversation.

I got to put a face to a name, I got to have a conversation and there is nowhere else that could happen.

I have people who are willing to help me because I am open and willing to help them.

You’ve got to build a network you can lean on but it’s important you become a resource first, you can’t just start taking from people you have to give first.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you work in an industry then you are supportive of the industry’

‘Not everyone is going to be a BFF’

‘Every conversation is an opportunity to potentially help someone else’

‘Imagine how we would be able to thrive if we helped each other rather than competing’

ABOUT THE HOST

I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
