“I think sometimes when you get knocked around, or someone gives you feedback or guidance…It’s because they care! So they’re seeing potential in you, and they’re wanting to invest their time and knowledge in you, that’s a privilege.”
In this week’s edition of the Elevate podcast as part of our series, The Leadership Diaries, Samantha McLean talks to Kate Strickland, Director of Marshall White Bayside, about her journey in leadership, how to keep your energy levels up, whether or not there is a place for ego in real estate, as well as her advice for aspiring leaders and routines for success.
