One of the leadership topics they talk about at Buffini & Company is the difference between teaching, training, mentoring and coaching. People often use these terms interchangeably. During this episode, Terri King, Chief Customer Officer at Buffini & Company explains how they see teaching as a transfer of knowledge, training is a transfer of skill, mentoring is a transfer of experience, and coaching is unlocking a person's potential. A teacher, trainer and mentor will give a person advice, insights, and action steps to take, but if the person doesn't take action, it ends with inaction. A coach stays in there, works to help remove those things that get in our way, and champions the person to achieve great things. As leaders we sometimes wear all these hats! It helps to know which role we're playing.

“You bet on me, you bet on this system and this philosophy, and you bet on yourselves. And then, in turn, each one of you became a role model and an example in your own markets, in your own communities that became pebbles in the pond.” – Brian Buffini Buffini & Company recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Buffini & Company MasterMind 100 Days to Greatness INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “Consistency breeds trust and, without trust, you don't get referrals. Do the things you're good at, the things you enjoy, and just do those consistently. And it will pay off.” – Todd Nordstrom “Have clarity, absolute clarity, and then be persistent and consistent because you will get where you want to go. If your mind is very clear, if your vision is clear, your decisions are easy.” – Judy Adler “Being committed to your goals and reviewing goals is a huge benefit.” – Larry Hassan “Run your business like a business. Consistency is important. If you don't know how to do it, get a coach, get some help. And listen to what you're told and do what you're told, not what you think is the best thing.” – Margaret Barton “Read, read, read, read. And, in the reading, you help to learn who you are and what gift you have to give to other people.” – Sam Elzie “Give it away in slices and it will come back to you in loaves. Operate from abundance and not scarcity. And in our business, where so many agents feel like there's competition, there is no competition, we are our own competition.” – Edith Elzie “This has been my life's work.” – Brian Buffini https://www.TheBrianBuffiniShow.com http://www.brianbuffini.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brian_buffini Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini Theme Music: “The Cliffs of Moher” by Brogue Wave

Today I want to go over a few things I think could be helpful to you and your business. These are the same resources I’ve utilized myself and I want to share them with you. Today’s topic is going to be a little different. I’d like to take some time to talk about coaching, mentoring, and also some books I think could be helpful to you. Here at the Lessinger Team, we work closely with the Buffini Company. Through them, I have my own real estate coach. Most of the systems I use come from them. These same systems and tools would likely be beneficial to you, whether your business is real estate or something else. You can find information about these systems in Brian Buffini’s book, “The Emigrant Edge.” This book has been a valuable resource to me and my business, and I want to share it with you. I’ve got 20 free copies that I’m giving away. To secure your copy, give me a call or send me an email. “THIS BOOK HAS BEEN A VALUABLE RESOURCE TO ME AND MY BUSINESS, AND I WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU.” You can also find and buy this book, which is now a bestseller, on Amazon. I also have another book recommendation for a different topic I often get questions about. If you need financial planning advice, you may want to take a look at “The Automatic Millionaire” by David Bach. This book is a great wealth of information for those who don’t know much about finances right now. If you are a little more advanced in your knowledge, I’d be happy to recommend some other books to you as well. Just like “The Emigrant Edge,” I also have copies of “The Automatic Millionaire” that I would be more than happy to give you. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
