Tyler Lingle has felt like he doesn’t fit into the usual crowd. It wasn’t until college that he found the confidence to pursue his audacious goals and to be ok being the ambitious person in the room.

I know that I have felt guilty pursuing my dreams. Being an emerging leader with ambition can feel lonely. So it is encouraging to hear from other emerging leaders like Tyler on a similar journey.

Tyler has gone from an urban educator to a real estate professional in the last year. Some of the things that have helped him gain the confidence he needs to pursue his dreams include:

1. Mentorship

Tyler has 5-6 people that he considers mentors. These folks have helped Tyler go from focusing on 15 years down the road to believing that doing the small things today will help him “make it happen.”

2. Clarification

Tyler got distracted and tried to be good at too many things at once. He knows the right opportunities will come if he focuses on being the best at one or two things.

Tyler says,” people need your consistency more than your creativity"

You will be encouraged by Tyler’s story as you gain new opportunities in your journey of emerging leadership.
