Can You See Me Now?
with IGNITER Marci French
Session Description:
The first thing we learn when we begin our Multifamily career is to ignore differences. But, let’s be honest, we ARE all different. We look different, we identify different, we worship different, and we love different, and that should be celebrated! It’s time we acknowledge, accept, and learn about those who are different from us!
During this session attendees will learn:
- How to recognize all the diversity that exists around you
- How to identify who YOU are and how that influences how you see others
- Why it is important to see someone the way THEY want to be seen
