A one-star review. A fixed work order. A resident who still felt ignored. In this episode of Brick by Brick, we dig into the broken feedback loop that’s costing you trust—and possibly renewals. Rupert shares how silence, not service, is often what drives residents away, and lays out a clear strategy to close the loop with empathy, even when the answer isn’t yes.
You’ll learn:
• The 3 most common communication gaps—and how to fix them
• How to handle “no” with empathy and clarity
• Why responsiveness matters more than perfection
Then, in this week’s reset, we’ll reflect on what it really means to show up as a leader—not just with solutions, but with connection.
