#59 When Your Story Becomes My Story
Episode description
One thing I love about property management is that every manager has a story that starts out, “You’re never gonna believe what happened at my site…”
Storytelling has the power to teach, to change and to connect us. Through storytelling, we have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others without having to go through those same struggles ourselves.
By listening to stories, we can see how different people have navigated challenges and come out on the other side stronger and wiser.
Much of what we do in property management cannot be taught through a textbook. There is no manual or procedure for how to keep your cool when a resident is besides themselves. And yet, one of the most valuable skills a manager can have is the ability to stay emotionally regulated in stressful situations. Some of our best managers have become the best by simply learning on the fly and sharing their experiences along the way.
One reason why this industry is so tight knit is because we support and teach one another by sharing our stories. Listen in to this week’s episode to hear more.
