Leadership During Unprecedented Times, A conversation with GSBOR CEO Jeff Kester

In this episode of Simply Authentic, we continue our exploration of leadership lessons learned during the pandemic—now five years past. What did some of the top leaders take away from that challenging time?

This week, we sit down with Jeff Kester, CEO of GSBOR and former 2020 President of Missouri REALTORS®. Jeff had big plans for his leadership year—traveling the state to connect with REALTORS®, advocating for the industry, and even attending the MMIPM conference in Caen, France. But when the world shut down, everything changed.

How did he pivot from being an in-person leader to a fully virtual one? What were the defining moments that shaped his leadership during the crisis? What did he learn about himself, and—looking back—would he do anything differently?

Join us for an insightful conversation on adaptability, resilience, and the lasting impact of leadership in times of uncertainty.
