This year, both the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Olympic Hockey teams did something remarkable. They defeated heavily favored Canadian teams to win gold. On paper, Canada had the pedigree. The history. The star … Continue reading The Power of the Team
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a transaction thinking, “Why does this always happen to me? Why are my deals always the difficult ones?” It’s almost as if there’s a magnet that pulls complexity in your direction. The client is emotional. The other agent is reactive. The lender is behind.

On Monday, many of us will enjoy an added day off. For some, it is simply a long weekend. For others, it is a chance to reflect on the leaders who have shaped our country’s history.

It is a discipline. … Continue reading Gratitude Is a Competitive Advantage
