Today we dive deep into what might be your most overlooked business skill: stress management. Rebecca Heiss’s work calls it "Tiger Training"- learning to harness stress rather than being consumed by it.

The real estate profession inherently comes with pressure points: market shifts, industry changes, difficult transactions, and demanding clients. But here's the counterintuitive truth we uncovered: stress isn't always the enemy. When managed properly, it can become your competitive advantage.

While no one else can manage your stress for you, you don't have to face it alone. Brokers and team leaders can create environments where stress is acknowledged rather than ignored, where agents can co-create solutions instead of suffering in silence.

As we navigate ongoing market shifts and industry evolution, your ability to manage stress effectively might be what separates those who merely survive from those who truly thrive.

Take a listen, and if you’re inclined, let us know what you think!

Here’s to your next best stress :)
