It was my commitment to you and the 800 participants at that event to transcribe the Reconnect Letter you helped me compose, so here it is:
Dear Joe,
After two collective years of passionately teaching kindergarten and first grade children, I have made a choice on a new career.
In making the choice of what I wanted to do next, I thought about you and what skills I have that would best serve you.
My two greatest skills are my ability to prepare thoroughly so I have the integrity to create boundaries and structures for people. In working with children in these primary grades, the greatest I could give them would be consistency and predictability.
My second greatest skill is my determination, persistence and that 'never quit' attitude. This determination, I learned, is important to model for them.
So, while I was considering what career would be best with these two skills, I chose the real estate industry.
Not that the real estate industry needs another real estate agent, because there are plenty of them; but what I have discovered is that there are not enough with the skills of integrity, preparation, boundary setting, guidance in modeling great behavior, plus persistence, and determination.
So the next time you, your family members, or your friends are going to buy or sell a home, or just need some advise or counsel, you now know you have a friend who is structured with integrity and guidelines and boundaries, and a lot of experience working in an environment where it requires a lot of determination and persistence.
And that is the way that I would show up for you or, any of your family and friends that you introduce me to.
Thank you very much. I look forward to talking with you.
Eileen Loyola
