Active Rainers You ROCK!!

 I'm so excited!!!! Thank you all for your well wishes! I received phone calls and e-mails from so many Active Rainier's all wishing me well on my first class being held at my new real estate training center.


My class went exceptionally well! I had a terrific turn out and all my comment sheets were excellent!


It was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. The class I taught was a new class...one I had developed and got approved for continuing education but I had not taught it before...So this was an unveiling of a new class and a new training center!

First time out of the gate with a new class is always a bit stressful. You just never know about the timing until you do it once. My topic was a hard one and while I have a lot of experience on this topic I wanted to make it interesting and different. I agonized over it all week and in between working and training I practiced my presentation...3 hours is a long time to talk and I struggled to create and find the perfect ice breakers and case studies for break outs.

As late as last night I was still adding to my presentation...I am not into lecturing and wanted a very interactive class and I got one!

I swear I felt all of your vibes with me this morning!!!

After class was over Jay gave me a big hug...poor guy sat through my whole class. I was surprised he stayed! He brought his camera but in all the excitement he never took any pictures!

We ended up having a busy day! A very productive one, had a great class, got an offer in on one of our listings then did a CMA and scheduled showings for tomorrow!!!
Then Jay googled "New Hampshire real estate trainer" and guess who came up on the first page??? LOL...Me, thanks to Active Rain!!!

You guys all ROCK thank you so much for caring.

Was there ribbon cutting and champagne bottles smashing? You're probably too tired for those shananagans.

I usually don't try and stay as I probably make you nervous. After everyone was checked in, the class was rolling along so well I was enjoying it so I decided to stay.

I have way over the required hours necessary to renew but your class was very good and it never hurts to sit in and see how good a job you really do. The reviews I read were pretty impressive as I think everyone really enjoyed the class. There was a lot of good interaction and not everyone was itching to leave at 12 noon.

I think if you kept going no one would have noticed.  

That's how you can tell you're doing a good job.

Congrats and best of luck next week.  

 

Sue...I'm drinking Tea LOL...No ribbon cutting today...didn't think of it!  You should have driven over..you could have mingled during break or maybe staged my room.

Jay...I'm blushing! It was funny seeing you sitting there :)

Jay and Monika congratulation; glad to hear everything went well the first day.  Wishing you continued success.

My Dear Monica,  What a lucky group of students you have! Your attentive audience makes all your preparation worth while. I kinda bet the time flew by for you.


Such an accomplishment, we are proud of you. Jay, I love the way you give support to Monica and I am sure that it goes both ways.


Thanks for writing about your day, it saved me a phone call!

Congratulations Monika.  It looks like all of your hard work and preparation has paid off. Way to go!


I don't think anyone around here doubted you'd be a success in your new training center. 


 

Monica ~ How exciting and delightful for you to share your new endeavor with us.  I wish you much success.
