How does a former Westpac mortgage broker become the #1 auction agent in the Belle Property network? Norman So, Principal and Agent at Belle Property Strathfield, has recently been named Belle Property's #1 auction agent and ranks #7 among all NSW agents. His journey from bank employee to one of Belle Property's top performers — now targeting $4M+ in annual GCI — demonstrates the power of market specialisation, innovative marketing, and systematic team building. Norman didn't just change careers; he transformed real estate marketing in Sydney's competitive western corridor. Starting with apartments in Homebush and quickly dominating Strathfield, his record-breaking $16.6 million sale redefined the suburb's price ceiling. Now running over 200 auctions annually, Norman credits his success to three game-changing strategies: leveraging influencer marketing, creating collaborative team structures, and maintaining relentless client communication.

Lundi soir, la Cour constitutionnelle de Cotonou a définitivement écarté la candidature de Renaud Agbodjo, l'avocat désigné par le parti d'opposition Les Démocrates pour se présenter à la présidentielle du 12 avril 2026. Que pense ce parti de cette décision de justice ? Y voit-il une manœuvre du pouvoir béninois ? Guy Dossou Mitokpè est le porte-parole du parti Les Démocrates. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Comment réagissez-vous à l'exclusion de votre candidat Me Renaud Agbodjo ? Guy Dossou Mitokpè : Bon, comme la plupart de mes compatriotes, je reçois cette information avec beaucoup de tristesse parce que, pour nous, le principal parti d'opposition aujourd'hui, c'est le parti Les Démocrates. Et donc pour la plupart des Béninois, on allait assister à une très belle fête électorale. Et donc pour nous, ce n'était pas croyable que la Cour constitutionnelle ne puisse pas nous donner raison en disant le droit. À l'origine du rejet de votre candidat, il y a le fait qu'il devait présenter 28 parrainages d'élus et que l'un de ces 28 a fait défection. Pourquoi n'avez-vous pas présenté un plus grand nombre de parrainages, 35 ou 40 par exemple, pour être certain de faire face à toutes défections et d'avoir au final vos 28 parrainages ? En fait, la loi électorale impose que les parrains soient parmi les députés en activité ou les maires en activité. Et donc, lorsque nous, on rentrait dans le Parlement, on avait 28 députés, on n'a pas été présents à l'élection des maires, donc on avait 28 députés. Mais lorsqu'on rentrait au Parlement, la loi électorale imposait d'avoir seulement 16 parrains. Et c'est au cours de notre présence au sein du Parlement, que le régime actuel a changé la loi électorale en positionnant le nombre de parrains exactement sur le nombre de parrains que nous avons, c'est-à-dire 28. Et donc c'était à dessein, parce qu'ils savaient que, à l'approche des élections, ils feraient tout pour nous déstabiliser en faisant probablement tout pour qu'un député fasse défection. Alors, justement, le député qui a fait défection, il s'appelle Michel Sodjinou. Il prétend qu'il s'est rétracté parce qu'il n'était pas d'accord avec le choix de Me Renaud Agbodjo au sein de votre parti. Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez ? Non, c'est un alibi parce que Monsieur Sodjinou a fait preuve d'ambition démesurée. Ce qu'il a avancé, ce sont des arguments qui ne tiennent pas. Et donc, s'il a fait défection, nous, nous continuons de croire qu'il est probablement en lien avec nos adversaires. Donc, vous pensez qu'il a été instrumentalisé par le pouvoir ? Je n'ai pas de preuve, mais tout laisse à croire qu'il a été instrumentalisé par nos adversaires. Parce que, en respectant les normes démocratiques en interne, cela ne peut pas expliquer le fait que quelqu'un puisse trahir tout un peuple. Oui, pour vous, le député Michel Sodjinou a trahi ? Il a trahi et c'est clair, il n'y a pas d'hésitation à ce niveau. Au total, le rejet de votre candidat, c'est la faute à pas de chance ou c'est une manœuvre du pouvoir ? C'est d'abord de la responsabilité d'un homme qui a été trop ambitieux. Monsieur Sodjinou Michel, je ne peux pas dire sans preuve que c'est la responsabilité du pouvoir. Je peux simplement dire que, voilà, nos adversaires ont tout intérêt à ce que Monsieur Michel Sodjinou puisse se comporter comme il l'a fait. « Ce qui se passe, ce n'est pas la démocratie », dit l'un des conseillers juridiques de votre parti, Me Victorien Fadé… Oui, naturellement que ce n'est pas la démocratie. C'est triste parce que vous savez, la démocratie, c'est qu'on puisse donner la chance aux électeurs de choisir celui ou celle qui leur convient. Mais ici, le choix du peuple, malheureusement, est très restreint, parce que le parti qui est aujourd'hui le parti le plus populaire dans notre pays, malheureusement, ne pourra pas présenter de candidat à la prochaine élection présidentielle. Et c'est très dommage. Vendredi dernier, il y a eu un long entretien au palais présidentiel à Cotonou entre le chef de l'État, Patrice Talon, et le président de votre parti, l'ancien chef de l'État Boni Yayi. Est-ce que vous espérez encore une solution politique ? Pour ce qui concerne l'élection présidentielle, il est dit dans notre loi fondamentale que les décisions de la Cour constitutionnelle sont sans recours. Donc, me rabattant sur cette décision, je peux dire que les chances pour que le parti Les Démocrates puisse présenter un duo de candidats à l'élection présidentielle sont quasiment nulles. Mais la bonne nouvelle, c'est que nous avons deux autres élections. Nous avons les élections communales et les élections législatives. Et à ce niveau, au niveau du parti Les Démocrates, nous avons pris toutes les dispositions afin que le peuple puisse consacrer son énergie à donner la majorité des maires et la majorité des députés au principal parti d'opposition. En 2021, beaucoup de candidats de l'opposition n'ont pas pu se présenter. Votre candidate de l'époque, Reckya Madougou, est même allée en prison. Elle y est toujours. Est-ce que vous craignez une nouvelle élection sans opposition ? Oui. L'ancienne ministre Reckya Madougou est en prison avec le professeur Joël Aïvo et bien d'autres compatriotes sont en prison ou en exil. Et je continuerai de dire que c'est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles nous sommes davantage tristes, parce que si la démocratie revenait à sa juste valeur, comprenez que nos prisonniers seraient libérés, les exilés feraient le retour. C'est la raison fondamentale de notre combat aujourd'hui. Une élection présidentielle sans les candidats du principal parti d'opposition, ce n'est plus la démocratie.

When there's a high degree of trust, especially in teams, the sky's the limit.   Flexibility, community, excellence, collaboration and growth, and then proximity to leadership.

La Fundación MAPFRE y Siena Educación han elaborado un informe que revela que la ansiedad destaca de forma contundente como el principal problema en las aulas y que, además, las redes sociales se han convertido en el principal factor de riesgo para los menores. Es decir, seis de cada diez docentes califican hoy en día de "regular" la salud mental de sus alumnos. Además, este miércoles miles de estudiantes se han manifestado en diferentes puntos de España contra el bullying para arropar a la familia de Sandra Peña, la alumna de 14 años que se suicidó hace dos semanas en Sevilla. Sobre esta problemática social, en el 24 Horas de RNE hablamos con Coral Latorre, secretaria general del Sindicato de Estudiantes, y con Javier Urra, doctor en Psicología.Escuchar audio

A Dallas, Texas, Principal has been removed from her position after Grant Stinchfield obtained an email that exposed the principal at Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas for engaging in what can only be described as discriminatory behavior towards White and Hispanic students. The black Principal is accused of holding a “Black-only” assembly, where she allegedly told students she was “valuing the well-being of African American students over the others at this moment.” That's, according to one outraged Black student who wrote an email to the school administration calling out the discriminatory meeting. Today on "Stinchfield," Grant reads the email where the student whistleblower claims his black Principal even boasted about "only hiring Black staff." That declaration appears to be a proud admission of the discrimination. It is the latest example of the disgusting use of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that only leads to poor outcomes and lots of controversy. Grant Stinchfield calls this what it is — a blatant act of woke victimhood ideology gone too far. It’s the twisted belief that you can fix racism with more racism. By prioritizing one group over another, this principal didn’t lift anyone up. Instead, she sent a dangerous message that minority students are victims and that everyone else doesn’t matter. It’s a moral and educational failure at every level. In a letter to parents on Monday morning, the DISD confirmed the Principal has been replaced, telling parents the principal's actions "do not reflect the values or expectations of our school community." And late Monday Morning the Principal issued an apology, insisting in a letter to parents, that she takes, "full ownership and responsibility for what occurred." and it was never her "intent to single out or cause harm to any group of students." It is unclear if the Principal will return or not. Statements and suspensions are not enough. Grant demands immediate accountability from the Dallas Independent School District, insisting that school leaders make it clear this kind of divisive, race-based policy will never happen again.

Although there's been resistance to investing in office since the pandemic, back-to-office trends are prevailing as more employers are requiring employees to come back in-person at least three days per week. Along with this trend and no new supply, quality office space is seeing resurgent demand, especially higher quality space in great locations. Investors are now seeing opportunities to acquire these properties for as little as 10% of previous sale prices with strong in-place cash flow and high upside. Nate Melchior, Principal at Dunton Commercial, is actively pursuing office acquisitions in the Denver market. Dunton Commercial currently owns and manages retail and office properties in Colorado.

The second season of the American black comedy superhero television series Peacemaker is based on the eponymous character from DC Comics. While the first season is a spin-off from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) film The Suicide Squad (2021), the second season is set in the DC Universe (DCU) which is a "soft reboot" of the DCEU. The season continues the story of jingoistic vigilante Chris Smith / Peacemaker, who finds an alternate dimension where his father and brother are still alive and the family together is a highly regarded superhero team. It is set after the events of the DCU film Superman (2025). It is produced by DC Studios with James Gunn as showrunner.John Cena stars as the titular character alongside Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Frank Grillo, and Robert Patrick. The season was ordered in February 2022, with Gunn set to write and direct all eight episodes. Filming was expected to begin in 2023, but work was put on hold when Gunn was made co-CEO of DC Studios and switched focus to Superman. The spin-off series Waller was then prioritized, but later delayed by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes, and in March 2024 Gunn announced that the second season of Peacemaker would now release first. Some filming occurred the next month, taking place simultaneously with Superman at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Principal photography for the season took place from June to November.The season premiered on the streaming service HBO Max on August 21, 2025, and consisted of eight episodes. It received acclaim from critics, who generally found it to be better than the first season and praised Cena's performance as well as the wider cast, though its conclusion received a more polarized response.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Inspired by George Bernard Shaw's famous quote, this episode challenges school leaders to go beyond talking at people and start ensuring their message is truly understood. Because clear communication isn't about what you said — it's about what they heard. Key Points: The biggest communication mistake leaders make is assuming clarity.Sending a message (email, announcement, or meeting) isn't the same as transferring meaning.Leadership communication happens in layers — words, tone, timing, trust, and follow-up.Confusion and misalignment often come from unclear messaging, not lack of buy-in.Great leaders check for understanding just like great teachers do.Power Surge Takeaway: Don't mistake words for understanding. True communication happens when people not only hear you but can repeat your message with the same intent you spoke it. Action Step: Before the end of the week, revisit one message you've recently shared with your team. Ask them directly: “What did you hear me say?” Use what you learn to tighten your clarity, tone, and follow-through. Scripture Tie-In (optional for your brand): “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” — Colossians 4:6 Download Upside and use my code MELINDA35278 to get 15¢ per gallon extra cash back on your first gas fill-up and 10% extra cash on your first food purchase!
