Imagine running your multifamily property with nothing but your voice. Sounds futuristic? It's closer than you think. Conversational AI is reshaping the future of multifamily property management. While visual tools like dashboards and 3D renderings are valuable, voice technology will drive the next wave of innovation. Picture this: you simply ask your system, "What were last month's water costs across my portfolio?" The AI instantly provides answers, flags anomalies, and can even take action—like engaging vendors for repairs. Whether it's through devices like an Echo Dot, Google Home or AI-embedded glasses, managing operations will soon be as simple as having a conversation. This shift eliminates inefficiencies like endless meetings and manual scheduling. AI agents handle data queries, vendor coordination, accounting processes, and more, while humans focus on strategic decisions and oversight. Multifamily workflows will evolve into a faster, more intelligent ecosystem with this seamless blend of automation and human expertise. And this isn't some distant sci-fi scenario—it's happening now. Over the next 12–18 months, voice-driven AI is set to revolutionize the multifamily industry.

In many ways, the disparity between men and women in the workplace is manifested from the economical standpoint, societal expectations, and existing biases. How often do women apologize or minimize the importance of what they say in the workplace? This displays a lack of confidence and in order to combat that, empowerment must take place. In today’s episode, we have the founders of Voice First World. We tackle the way to success as women in business by being empowered and instilling confidence in ourselves. Jennifer Rettele-Thomas (she/her/hers) and Jen Vellenga (she/her/hers) are the co-founders of the virtual coaching company, Voice First World. They coach women to speak with presence to advance their careers in the digital age. [00:01 – 10:07] Overcoming Challenges in Careers as Women Jennifer Rettele-Thomas and Jen Vellenga founded Voice First World in 2011 as a way to empower women to use their voices confidently in their careers How taking a risk can be rewarding, even if it's scary at first. How empowering women is a necessary step in order to help them overcome any challenges they may face in their careers [10:08 – 19:32] On the Way to Success through Empowerment Helping women become successful in whatever position of life they were in Finding solutions to the gender gap in leadership through empowerment The lack of diversity among leaders during the pandemic The path to overcoming challenges to start an academic career [19:33 – 29:10] How To Deal With Rejection The benefits of not holding yourself back because of gender Overcome the lack of confidence by using language that is more assertive The importance of using the right words to show your expertise [29:09 – 32:06] How To Connect with Jennifer and Jen Work your way towards empowerment! Key Quotes: “The decision to work with women was because of some of the bias that we had seen, that we faced as women in our positions. There were many stories of bias and things that got under our skin about how women were treated in the workplace. And we wanted to be part of the solution. ” - Jen Vellenga “It [overcoming the lack of confidence] is the choice of vocabulary. And it's what you say and how you say it, and what we see at all levels… that could be adjusted to make them [women] even stronger.” - Jen Vellenga Connect with Jennifer Rettele-Thomas and Jen Vellenga

As writers and poets, we often wonder: who is this porous and gullible and hungry person writing my poems, who is feeding her and is she for real? Is it truly me who wrote this? Is that my story, my voice? Why don't I sound like myself—or worse, why does my self sound…not quite right? These questions can be painful, discouraging, silencing. Let's move beyond them and go deeper into the real mysteries, the useful ones, the ones that help us write and propel us further into our journey as writers. In this talk, Brenda Shaughnessy examined why some “first words” last, what trusting your voice means, and how inchoate feelings can be transformed into art. This event took place on April 19, 2022.
