On this 300th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I want to teach you one of the simplest, most effective habits for running your business like a professional: the weekly planning session. If you've ever wondered how elite-level entrepreneurs and advisors stay focused, consistent, and calm in the middle of chaos, it's not luck—it comes down to elite-level planning and staying in a rhythm of consistency. Their weeks are built by design. The weekly planning session is your reset button, your opportunity to move from week to week proactively. It sets up each week to ensure that what you're doing each day aligns with your quarterly goals, annual goals, and your 3 Year Vision. Done right, it's the single most important 60 to 90 minutes of your week. When you run a high-performance business, you can't wing it. No one is that good. A weekly planning session ensures you're grounded, focused, and prepared—moving seamlessly from week to week. Without it, you drift into reactive mode, chasing what's urgent instead of what's important. With it, you gain control of your calendar, energy, and your outcomes. Best Practices for a Weekly Planning Session: → Create a recurring calendar invite. Choose the same time every week. Allow 60–90 minutes. Protect this block like a client meeting. → Review all correspondence from the previous week. Ask yourself: Did I miss an opportunity? → Review your previous week's calendar. Identify what worked, what didn't, and what needs follow-up. → Review your upcoming week. What events or meetings need preparation? → Review your CRM. Identify your "Next 10"—the retention and conversion process. → Identify one project that aligns with your quarterly goal. → Review your 3 Year Vision. See it. Feel it. Experience it in advance. When you treat your weekly planning session as a non-negotiable, you'll find yourself more grounded, better prepared, with way fewer missed opportunities. You'll walk into Monday playing on offense without the anxiety of not being prepared. Calculate the monetary value of the missed opportunities with your clients just in the last year. What's that number? $1M, $5M, $15M in production? What did you leave on the table? Get out your calendar right now and schedule a recurring appointment with yourself for 60-90 minutes each week. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

On this 299th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I want to recognize all of you who are toggling between your life and your business and navigating an industry that never slows down. Will it ever be easy? No. But here's what I know for certain: you've earned the right to want things and achieve things. You've put in the work, you've weathered the storms, and now it's time to claim what's yours: clarity, fulfillment, and a business that is predictable, sustainable, and enjoyable. Over the past year, I've watched many of you wrestle with uncertainty—new compensation models, big industry changes, rising costs, new pressures, heightened expectations. But beneath the stress is something else: proof. Proof that you belong here. Proof that you've earned the right to design a business that rewards your expertise, not your exhaustion. In this episode, I walk you through the hard truths of what you've overcome: Working for months in a 100% commission environment with no financial reward until closing Tending to your family and friends while negotiating deals with stressed clients Rebuilding your systems, protecting your compensation, and staying composed when everyone else is overly emotional Caring for clients at all hours while trying to nurture your own mental and physical health Resisting the constant pull to compare yourself to others You've developed a craft that looks effortless because you've mastered what few ever will. Your value isn't in the transaction—it's in your consistency, your resilience, and your ability to lead with calm during chaos. We have entered a new chapter in this business. The hobbyist era is ending, and that's good news for true professionals. The transactional model is fading. The relationship model is the future. Your clients don't just want service; they want stewardship. They want you. That's why the rest of this year and into 2026 is about right-sizing: simplifying what no longer serves you and doubling down on what does. It's about moving from wide and shallow to narrow and deep. You've earned the right to stop proving yourself and start refining yourself. Here's your challenge this week: Decide what you want next—financially, personally, and relationally. Ambition is not arrogance. Commit to one decision that honors your growth; something that makes your business work for you instead of against you. Acknowledge how far you've come. Write down five moments this year that prove you've earned the right to want things and achieve things. Own them. You don't need permission to want more. You've already earned that right through every late night, every interrupted dinner, and every risk you've taken. Stop apologizing for your ambition. The life and business you want won't happen by luck—it will happen because you finally decide you're worthy of it. Re-listen to this. Make the decision. Claim it. You! Have Earned! The Right! To Want Things! And Achieve Things!

On this episode of The Insightful Leader, an executive coach offers three tales of leaders who let complacency get in the way of success. 

On this 298th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I'm revealing the five high-performance strategies that have stood the test of time—the fundamentals I would build my entire business around if I had to start over from scratch in 2008. If you study elite-level producers long enough, you'll notice their success looks deceptively simple. They don't chase every shiny object. They master a small set of principles and live them daily. Performance at the highest level isn't about doing more—it's about doing more of what matters, better. Every year, Q4 gives me the time and space to think. This week, during one of those thinking sessions, I asked myself: "If I had to start all over, what five strategies would I build my business around?" In this episode, I break down the five non-negotiable strategies every full-service, full-fee real estate advisor and entrepreneur must master: Use Goals for Fuel. Use Vision for Why. Your goals create structure, but your vision gives it soul. Goals are short-term metrics. Vision is the long-term emotional destination that guides every decision. Declutter Your Life. Fly Light. Simplify your systems, schedule, and surroundings so your energy stays focused on the vital few. Complexity kills execution. Clarity creates capacity. The Weekly Meeting with Yourself. Create your weekly business plan—the most powerful routine for driving consistent results. If you want to win quarters, you have to win weeks. Set aside 1-2 hours weekly to review calls, texts, emails, and DMs. This turns chaos into clarity. Commit to Your CRM. Your CRM is the structural side of the Law of Compensation. It organizes your five lists: Top 100, Top 100 Referral Partners, Warm List, Hot List, and Local Collaborators. Without it, you're operating on memory instead of data. Your CRM is your future income. Use Social Media for Intelligence, Retention, and Conversion. Social media is your digital credibility platform. It serves three purposes: Intelligence (track what clients are up to), Retention (clients confirm you're active and producing), and Conversion (prospects search you first—if you're not verifiable, they move on). BONUS: Create Space to Think. Your best ideas arrive when you pause long enough to listen. Reflection is not idle time—it's strategy. Thoughts create feelings. Feelings create action. Action creates results. These six strategies are the operating system for a scalable business and a sustainable life. When you declutter, plan intentionally, build structure around relationships, and show up online with purpose, you create momentum that compounds. Consistency and simplicity wins. Complexity and chaos fails every single time.

Too many advisors chase every client, every deal, and every opportunity. The result? Burnout, frustration, and a business that controls you instead of the other way around. Boundaries are not walls—they're filters. They protect your time, energy, and confidence while allowing you to serve at the highest level. In this episode, I'll walk you through five core boundaries every advisor must establish if you want to build a business that is predictable, sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling: 1. Price Point – Know your range and protect your time. 2. Geography – Define your markets and own them. 3. Degrees of Separation – Prioritize trusted introductions over cold leads. 4. Structure – Hold firm to your value—no discounting. 5. Client Commitment – Require buy-in to your process, systems, and time. Saying “no” to misaligned opportunities is not leaving money on the table—it's creating space for the right opportunities. Boundaries are an abundance play. Top producers who master this do not have less opportunity; they have better opportunity. This is your one-on-one coaching session. Listen carefully, take notes, and most importantly—take action.

What if the only thing separating you from the business and life you want isn't money, the market, or your competition—but you? In Episode 296 of Take Flight Weekly, I dive into the uncomfortable truth that success often comes down to one thing: your willingness to execute consistently on the basics. This is not theory. This is practical coaching designed to give you a mirror. I will walk you through a series of questions that, if you answer honestly and commit to acting on them, could change the trajectory of your business and your life. These are habits and strategies that cost almost nothing—yet they can transform everything. • We are closing out Q3 2025, and now is the time to get honest with yourself: • Are you further ahead today than you were at the end of Q2? • Have you built sustainable daily, weekly, and quarterly planning habits? • Are you connecting with 10 clients or prospects every single week? • Have you created cloud-based systems and standard operating procedures to streamline your business? • Are you converting clients from low-cost lead sources consistently? If you could answer “yes” to those questions by the end of 2026, would you celebrate? The truth is, none of those results require massive spending. They require commitment, discipline, and focus. The difference between finishing another year frustrated or finally building a predictable, enjoyable business comes down to you. I share my personal story of what I call my “real estate heart attack” in 2008, when stress and uncertainty forced me to wake up at 3:30 a.m. to work on my business. Those early mornings, spent learning, planning, and improving myself, built the foundation of everything I teach today. The lesson? You don't have to spend money to get results. You just have to invest in yourself. By early Q4 2025, your 2026 business plan should be written and in motion. That plan is not about doing more—it's about becoming more. Consistency. Execution. The boring, unsexy work that compounds over time into extraordinary results. This episode is your one-on-one coaching session. Listen carefully, take notes, and then take action. Because at the end of the day, the only thing standing between you and success is you.

On this 295th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I tackle one of the biggest traps holding back real estate professionals and entrepreneurs—mistaking endless planning for progress. Too often, business plans turn into procrastination tools. Advisors spend months tweaking spreadsheets, rewriting goals, and polishing strategies—but never actually execute. Elite brokers and top producers take a different path: they plan with purpose, then execute with discipline. In this episode, you'll discover: -Why so many real estate professionals confuse planning with progress -The warning signs that your business plan has become procrastination -The difference between productive planning and perfection-seeking paralysis -How elite brokers and advisors shift from planning to execution -The 5-step system to make your 2026 business plan actionable

We can't express how grateful we are. We have been and continue to be continuously blown away by the generosity and support we've received throughout this entire legal saga. We truly wouldn't have made it this far or been able to continue this fight if it hadn't been for all of you. While we aren't quite sure on when the next update will be, we'll certainly let you know as soon as there are any new developments. And in the meantime, will be doing everything we can to make you girlies proud. Thank you for allowing us to stand up for our freedom of speech and show Janet that she messed with the wrong girlies.   ANYWAY.... in today's episode, first we discuss the tension that came after Louis Vuitton released their $250 Eyeshadow Palette and $165 lipstick. Thanks to being chosen for their PR list, influencers like Glamzilla and Jeffree Starr would give their thoughts on the products, which is where things got a little messy. Fans quickly noted that those who were gifted the makeup seemed to have a much more glowing reaction when compared to influencers who just bought the products themselves, including James Charles and Nikkie Tutorials... which led to Jeffree Star doing yet another review in which he attempts to defend his opinions while simultaneously shading those of others. Then we finish things off by breaking down the story that's gone viral about two tiktokers who attempting to travel to Nice, France, only to find out ... ONCE THEY WERE ON THE PLANE... that their tickets were actually sending them to Tunis, Tunisia.... in Africa. How could you possibly manage to unknowingly board a plane to another country....? another continent? Great question. Still not sure we know.

On this 294th episode of Take Flight Weekly, I share a lesson that came from the longest solo road trip of my life — 29 hours from Chicago to Boston and back while dropping off Lizzy Miller at Boston College. Somewhere on the highway, I realized something important: a long road trip has the same ingredients as pursuing your three-year vision. Think about it. You don't just jump in the car and hope for the best. You begin with the end in mind, you prepare your vehicle, you plot your route, and you measure your progress through checkpoints and mile markers. The same is true in business. Your three-year vision is your “Boston.” Without clarity, systems, and consistency, the trip becomes guesswork. With them, you know exactly where you're going and how you'll get there. In this episode, I'll show you: ✅ Why your three-year vision is like setting your GPS destination ✅ How to equip yourself with the right tools (CRM, daily rituals, coaching) ✅ Why breaking your vision into 12 quarterly checkpoints keeps you on track ✅ How weekly reviews and audits serve as your mile markers ✅ The importance of refueling with rest, reflection, and inspiration ✅ How to adjust when detours appear without losing sight of your destination ✅ Why celebrating milestones builds confidence and momentum Here's the truth: progress isn't about one big leap. It's about consistent, intentional stages. Just like hitting Buffalo or Albany on the way to Boston confirmed I was still on course, your weekly reviews and quarterly audits are the markers that keep you aligned with your ultimate destination. Detours and fatigue will test you, but if your systems are strong and your vision is clear, you'll arrive exactly where you set out to be.

On this 293rd episode of Take Flight Weekly, I'm tackling one of the biggest challenges I face as a coach, leader, and mentor—convincing real estate professionals and entrepreneurs to commit to a 3-Year Vision. Most professionals love to jump straight to action—checking boxes, chasing quick wins, and moving the ball forward. But elite producers, the top 1–3%, operate differently. They begin with clarity. They build a “north star” that guides every decision, pulling them toward a future they've already defined. In this episode, I'll show you: - Why most resist vision work (and the 10 mental blocks that hold you back) - How a 3-Year Vision creates exponential results in clarity, focus, and growth - The 7-step framework to engineer your vision and make it real - Why you should think version instead of just vision—and how to align today's actions with your future self Extraordinary performance begins in the mind long before it shows up in your numbers. Vision is the force multiplier that fuels every decision, compounds your actions, and transforms your business into something predictable and enjoyable.

In this 292nd episode of Take Flight Weekly, we're digging into the real drivers of elite performance. Not theories. Not motivational fluff. We're talking about the psychology, systems, habits, and feedback loops that keep top producers at the top — and why “waiting to feel motivated” is one of the fastest ways to stall your business. Here's the truth: money may get you started, but it rarely keeps you going. Once your financial base is secure, the real fuel comes from clarity, recognition, purpose, and the environment you operate in. Elite producers know this — and they intentionally build those triggers into their daily routine.

In this 291st episode — and the first under our new name, Take Flight Weekly — we're kicking off a more strategic, more intentional season of business growth. This isn't about maintaining the status quo. It's about evolving. Mastering your next level. And building your 2026 business starting now.

In this 290th episode of Monday Morning Pep Talk, we're shining a light on one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools for building your real estate brand: the buyer tour. Most agents treat buyer tours as simple service work — but in reality, they're a living, breathing opportunity to show how you work, not just what you do. When documented with professionalism, buyer tours become branding gold: real-time proof of your expertise, your client-first mindset, and your ability to elevate the industry.

In this episode of Pyro Talk, we're joined by fireworks designer Travis Kramer to dive deep into the behind-the-scenes story of his show, Take Flight. What was supposed to be a soaring pyromusical quickly turned into a logistical nightmare when relentless rain and flooding threatened to ground the entire production. Travis walks us through how he and his crew fought back against mud, water, and weather delays to bring the show to life.We also explore his creative process—how he approaches designing pyromusicals, the story-driven philosophy behind his cue choices, and why emotion and structure matter just as much as shells and sparkle. It's a masterclass in perseverance, creativity, and what it really takes to make a show fly.Watch Take Flight here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx5XNPF2ZmsNeed MJG Igniters?

In this 289th episode of Monday Morning Pep Talk, we're continuing our conversation around personal branding with a concept that separates amateurs from professionals: Evidence of Success. This episode is a direct call to action for brokers and advisors who want to build a credible, memorable brand that commands attention. Because in today's market, it's not just about what you say — it's about what the market sees. If you're serious about positioning yourself as the go-to real estate professional in your market, your listing marketing has to do more than generate offers. It has to communicate trust, professionalism, and results.

According to research from Revenue Grid, organizations see a 25-40% increase in average deal size and win rates with better coaching. So how can you build a strong coaching program that helps your team win, especially with the support of new technologies like AI? Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win-Win podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. Here to discuss this topic is Carrie Kuhrt, who leads sales enablement in the Americas for FCM Travel. Thank you so much for joining us. Carrie, I’d love if we could just start by talking a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Carrie Kuhrt: Lovely to be here again. My name’s Carrie Kuhrt, based in Denver. Most of my professional journey has been within sales, whether that’s inside sales, outside sales. Been with FCM for nearly six years now, and just for over two years, I’ve been in the enablement function for the Americas region. Just been an adventure for the last six years with FCM, and I am just all team enablement now. RR: Awesome. Well, we’re so excited to have you here, especially knowing that you’ve kind of bridged that gap from sales to sales enablement and can bring that dual perspective to this conversation. So I know before your current role as an enablement leader, as you mentioned, you worked in sales at FCM Travel, so can you share a little bit about how you made that transition into enablement and then how that background maybe shapes your enablement approach today? CK: Yeah, well, kind of a funny story. I actually rejoined FCM after the pandemic the same day Highspot was rolled out with FCM. So it was just really kind of funny timing, how it’s all come really full circle. So I’ve always found myself wanting to help others succeed, and I have just a really big — like, I just really love all of the enablement tech stack and thought it just is an absolute game changer for the selling role and found myself always helping or always wanting to lend a helping hand to my peers.And so when the opportunity came up to join the enablement team, I eagerly embraced it, wanted to help fine-tune our sellers and using that enablement tech stack that the business has invested in. RR: Amazing. I love that take, and I love that this full-circle moment. I’m so happy you could join us and kind of bring this story almost to its conclusion.I’d love to maybe double-click a little bit into your approach and talk specifically maybe about how you develop your teams. So I know you lead the development of training and coaching at FCM Travel, so I’m wondering if you could talk to us a little bit about some common challenges you’ve faced when creating effective learning programs and then maybe some solutions you’ve created to address ’em. CK: Yeah, just knowing myself as a learner, we all learn in a different way, so I wanted to make sure that when creating something, it’s important to incorporate all the different learning styles that people have, whether that is through videos for people who’d like to watch, or people who like to read, or just a little bit of a mixture, and then including the hands-on approach.I really like the knowledge checks that you can do where it’s a little bit less test-centric and a little bit more of just making sure everyone is understanding that information and having it kind of connect the dots in their mind. So I think that’s always really good to incorporate in having like a welcoming and affecting learning environment for everybody.Just knowing that not every single person is the same. You wanna be able to have the ability to kind of touch everybody in the way that they need to help understand any initiatives. RR: Yeah, I think one of those biggest challenges too — any sort of learning program — is the assumption that one-size-fits-all works.It never does. I love that approach and that acknowledgement that everybody learns differently, and in order to get where you need to go, you need to meet them where they are. I think definitely a very actionable take that listeners can take away.Shifting gears a little, I’d like to touch on an aspect of enablement’s role that I think maybe goes a little bit unspoken, which is that in addition to creating effective programs, enablement is often tasked with building a culture of ongoing learning and development. So do you have any best practices for creating that culture and driving that culture of ongoing learning? CK: Yeah, I like to talk about it as kind of like an internal sell.So having that sales background kind of comes into play here, and we’ve actually branded our training and coaching as Take Flight. Being a travel management company, we love the puns. It worked perfectly. And so with Take Flight, we have created logos that you’ll see everywhere within Take Flight, as well as the same imagery over and over again, just kind of helping to reinforce this is where you go to learn, to upskill, to onboard, whatever it might be.And so using those on all of the training materials, helping everything remain consistent, it helps kind of guide your users to where they need to be for that training and coaching, because training and coaching — sometimes people might be like, oh, I don’t wanna do that — but Take Flight sounds so much more fun.I mean, who doesn’t wanna take a flight, hop on, and go somewhere new or learn something new? So that’s kind of the approach we have taken. RR: Yeah, the internal sell. I love it, and I love the branding. That’s so much fun. Your sellers are your customers, and I think you’re serving them well.I’d like to maybe chat a little bit about how you’re using technology to support programs like these.I know that in May, actually, you joined us here in Seattle for a workshop in the Highspot office. We chatted about real-world coaching capabilities, and you shared that you’re working on a pilot program to roll some of them out to your teams. So can you talk us through how you’re developing this pilot program and how you plan to leverage these capabilities to help with that ongoing learning culture? CK: Yeah, so we like to roll out all of our initiatives through pilot programs. We are leveraging Highspot across all of our sales organization globally now. And so having the peers involved — for my customers, our internal sellers — it’s really helped involve them and being able to be more impactful and engaging, understanding they are in the seat, they are utilizing it, and so using those pilot programs to help reinforce what’s gonna work best and being able to kind of test things out before full rollout globally.It’s just incorporating even those champions, as we like to call them, in part of the training so they’re able to talk about their experiences during the pilot testing as well. RR: Yeah, that sounds like a really thoughtful approach to a pilot program. You know, you build buy-in with a few, and then that kind of disperses out, and then all of a sudden you’ve won over the entire team.I’d love to know a little bit more about that like early getting-started phase — so how you’re planning to identify and select users for your pilot, and then maybe once you have selected those soon-to-be champions, how you enable them on your new approach. CK: Yeah, so we tend to select champions based on those who use the platform quite a bit.So our top users, they help guide us. And for the meeting intelligence pilot that we’re working on right now, we’ve chosen about five champions in different roles within the sales org and each region to start using the feature. So they’re gonna collaborate with myself and my partner in enablement that sits in Europe to help navigate those best practices, figure out what does work well, where we can improve, and like just sharing the feedback on the process because it is something brand new, something that we’ve never done before.But why not have like a test phase to work out those kinks before you roll out something globally? Just wanting to make sure that we have everything sorted and ready to go to make it as easy of a change as possible with — I mean, change management being key. It’s a new feature. Not everybody’s gonna be comfortable with it. You’re gonna make some people a little uncomfy, so why not bring in people who are in their same role, who can help kind of drive the value of it home? RR: Yeah, again, because you know when you are making that internal sell, you do need that evidence. And so when you have people in those roles speaking to it, you have a little bit more validation than just you kind of top-down being like, “Hey, let’s do a thing.” So I love that approach. And it seems like you and the team have obviously put a lot of work into this new strategy.So I’d love to know, maybe as you’re progressing, what outcomes you’re hoping to see and then what success looks like for you. What, at the end of the day, would make you be like, we did what we needed to do? CK: Yeah, I think for kind of the initiative, initial purpose is — as we all know — technology is fantastic except when it doesn’t like to play nicely.So working out those bugs is a huge part of it. That’s not something that might need our attention, but we carefully check and make sure all the platform integrations are working smoothly, kind of working those out beforehand, even before the pilot group even starts.To be completely honest, I’ve been within meeting intelligence since I could — I mean, just trying it out so I can figure it out, understand it, ’cause I am that hands-on learner, kind of talking back to how we approach that. But making sure that we have everything for the AI part of it — we are very much invested in AI. We have an AI Center of Excellence here within Flight Centre Travel Group, and so really leaning on that and making sure that the results that we’re getting do work for our business, as well as kind of those topics that meeting intelligence does use, making sure that we have everything listed that makes the most sense.And until we have users actually in-platform using it, we won’t know that. And so that’s kind of where we’re looking to make sure everything's — all the boxes are checked, that it’s gonna have the most impact on that feedback portion, because at the end of the day, that is what it’s all about — being able to get that feedback from an AI perspective to then have their manager come in and help drive home that feedback. RR: Awesome. Well, I think you guys are looking at all of the things you need to, to set yourself up for success, and I'm excited to check back in a couple months and see how things are going and see, you know, kind of the early wins you’re achieving.But speaking of success and wins, I know you’ve actually found quite a bit already. For instance, we’ve heard that you’ve already achieved a really impressive 67% active learner rate in Highspot, so I’d love to know how you’re driving that adoption. CK: Yeah. Again, I think this goes back to that branding aspect of Take Flight. Everybody knows where to go, and having it in like one centralized spot — just knowing that. But also, we do a lot of group enrollment for courses and things of that nature so that it’s everybody globally is doing it. It’s not just singling out certain people or certain regions — everyone is taking part of it.And I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever been in a sales role where every one of my peers doesn’t have that competitive spirit. So we do throw in some contests in there — some incentives. Salespeople love the incentives. So when we can make it a friendly competition, it even helps drive it home, ’cause it’s like, I wanna beat you.Like, you have that competition, and it helps really drive that end result of getting people involved in the training and the coaching, the lessons, all of that adoption. I mean, I know our adoption across Highspot in general is really, really high, which I think kind of talks about what the platform has done for us as a business. RR: Well, amazing. I love to hear that. And so what I’m taking away is that adoption is purely just a combination of branding and competition. That’s what you need to get your salespeople activated. CK: You can make it more complicated than that, but at the end of the day, they need to know where to go and who to beat. And so I think that really plays a huge part of it, for sure. RR: Wonderful. I love it. Well, aside from, you know, the impressive active learner rate that we just chatted about, I’d love to know what metrics you’re looking for when you’re evaluating the success of an enablement program — and in particular, down the line as you’re evaluating the success of your new real-world coaching program.You know, as you were saying, you wanna make sure the metrics are working towards what the business is looking for. So what will you be looking for when you’re making that call? CK: I think a huge thing — and it’s something that I got to see back in Seattle in May — was the initiative scorecard. To be able to link what we’ve rolled out as an initiative, whether that be training and coaching, or the meeting intelligence and that real-world feedback — being able to see that directly reflect.We finally worked out all the kinks with the Salesforce integration to making sure everything is linked. So now we can see, all right, based on this date and this initiative rolling out, we can see those wins populating and compare it to where we were last year.So being able to see the just direct correlation between the two and positively influencing our conversion rate equals won business. RR: Awesome. So it’s that tracking activity all the way through outcome — so important to prove your impact as an enabler and really tell that your programs are doing what you hope they will.Again, excited to see how in a few months, as you’re setting that up, how it goes. We’ll certainly have to check back and see how things are going.Thinking a little bit — we’ve been talking about the future — but let’s talk about the present maybe, which is, I’d love to know how, since launching Highspot, how things are going, what results you’ve seen, any key wins, notable business outcomes you could share? Anything that you and your team have accomplished recently that you’re super proud of? CK: Yeah. To be completely honest, Highspot has been a game changer for us at FCM. It’s made a remarkable difference, saving our sales team so much time. I won’t talk about other platforms, but they can find things a lot faster than they used to be able to, and so they can pull information in 30 seconds if they’re on a call with someone or they wanna share that information with a prospect — they can do that very, very quickly and find what they need.And I think that’s like a collaboration between sales enablement and marketing to make sure all of that is housed and easy to find for our sellers. I think it’s also really helped us connect more on a global scale. We can see what’s going on in other regions instead of being siloed between regions with the time zone conflicts and all of that. It’s just made an enormous difference.And then the other thing, which we’ve rolled out — I’d say probably in the last six months or so, maybe even… maybe it’s almost been a year, gosh, time flies — a lot of our RFP submissions, so our business proposals, if it’s not through a specific platform, we utilize Highspot. And that is a differentiator.Because we like to say we are not just another vendor for our clients. We are a true partner. And so we can actually put forth our proposal and have that partnership show through — whether it’s the co-branding of our logo with their logo. Sometimes we get a little fun and have a little bit more of that collaboration in terms of the coloring and things like that in the Digital Room.It’s definitely marked us as a clear differentiator. We’ve heard feedback from our — previously prospects, now customers — that it is something that has made a huge difference because it does show that we want to partner with them. We don’t just want to be another vendor. We’re not just another contract for them to sign. We truly have a partnership with our clients. RR: Amazing. I love to hear how Highspot kind of fits into your goals as an organization to be that partner, and I’m so happy that we can kind of help along the way where we can.Just one last question for you. So to wrap up, what is one, maybe two pieces of advice that you would offer to enablement leaders who are looking to build successful coaching programs? CK: I think there’s no necessarily need to reinvent the wheel. A lot of us already have a lot more of that material — the training materials — in our arsenal. It's existed.We haven’t been able to onboard people without having training and coaching. It exists. And so being able to just improve upon it — having gone through and recently taken just our very static playbooks for onboarding and turned them into courses and lessons just to make it more interactive and not just as stagnant — but keeping kind of those playbooks in place so that they can refer back to them whenever they need to.But like, not having to reinvent the wheel. You have the wheel. Let’s just grease it up a little bit and make it run a little bit smoother. Just to be clear, thoughtful, and driving the impact that you have with that feature. It just — it makes things so much easier, and you are able to see the exact results from it when you’re able to transition it from just viewing, okay, how long has someone viewed a playbook, to seeing them actually understanding the information to be able to present it back.One of the big things that we’ve used is that recording option within a lesson, so I’ve been able to have new hires go through, learn about FCM, to then present back their elevator pitch — and being able to help guide them and help them improve upon it.And we kind of revisit it a lot. So we have them do it six months later — how has it changed? How much more have you learned about the business?So just — you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. It already exists. RR: Just improve it. Amazing. I think that’s fantastic advice. And also I think advice everybody wants to hear — you don’t need to build more things from scratch. You already have them. Just use them to your advantage. CK: Yeah. We don’t have time in enablement. We know — I know very well that you are very limited in the amount of time in a day. Unfortunately, we can’t make that change for people, but we can improve upon what we have. RR: Awesome. Well, thank you so much, Carrie. It’s been so wonderful to chat with you today, and I think I speak for myself and our listeners when I say that it’s been really delightful to learn from you.To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win-Win podcast.

Are you memorable—or just visible? In Episode 288 of Monday Morning Pep Talk, I break down what many real estate professionals get wrong about personal branding.

Because here's the truth: your personal brand is no longer optional.

CannCon and Chris Paul are back for a wild ride through the headlines in this fast-paced and hilariously sharp episode of Badlands Daily. They kick things off with the bombshell revelation that over a million illegal immigrants may be receiving Social Security benefits, sparking a deep dive into government dysfunction, NGO meddling, and Elon Musk's role in exposing it all.

On the domestic front, they sound the alarm over a Massachusetts family arrested for refusing to vaccinate, despite a valid religious exemption, raising serious questions about CPS and state overreach. And if that wasn't absurd enough, they tear into Blue Origin's all-female celebrity space flight (feat. Katy Perry) with full-blown sarcasm, mocking the media frenzy and symbolism overload. From Biden's backdoor Ukraine deals to rare earth wars and 7-Eleven war hubs in Taiwan, this episode delivers truth, laughs, and fire in equal measure.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — Ford Motor Company has announced that it would allow car shoppers to buy its 2024-25 vehicles at the discounted price the automaker offers to its employees. Called "From America, For America," the promotion was unveiled on the same day a new 25% U.S. tariff on foreign vehicles took effect.   Two ----  Former heart surgeon and TV star Dr. Mehmet Oz was confirmed Thursday to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The 64-year-old will manage health insurance programs for roughly half the country, with oversight of Medicare, Medicaid or Affordable Care Act coverage.   And number three —   The TSA's deadline to have a REAL ID license is just over a month away.  Starting May 7th, Americans will need to have a REAL-ID compliant driver's license to take domestic and international flights.  If you don't have one, you'll need a passport or secondary ID to travel through security checkpoints. Unless, of course, they postpone this deadline yet again.

Gul, meaning "flower" in Urdu, is a symbol of beauty, love, and life. Like a flower that blooms for a short time, happy and sad moments also come and go. It reminds us of hope, strength, and the quiet power of gentle things. It teaches us to enjoy the present before it fades. Even when a gul withers, its fragrance stays in the air, just like memories. No matter how harsh the winds, a gul still finds a way to bloom again. In this episode of Urdunama, we talk about gul, its meaning in poetry, and how it represents love, loss, and hope.
