Welcome Ladies to The Real Estate InvestHER Show! On today’s episode, our co-hosts Liz and Andresa are joined by Amy Bruske! Amy is Principal, President, and Integrator at Kolbe Corp. An expert in HR consulting and leadership development, she is driven by, and dedicated to, changing people’s lives by helping them harness their instinctive strengths. Amy is one of only three Senior Master Consultants in the Kolbe Concept™— the authoritative theory for human instinct and performance. Amy is trusted by clients in many industries and is a sought-after speaker for Fortune 500 companies, associations, and entrepreneurial startups. She co-authored the groundbreaking family business guidebook business is Business with Kathy Kolbe, and she routinely dedicates time to mentorship in her Arizona community while serving as Chairman of the Center for Conative Abilities.

Join this conversation as Amy discuss the importance of understanding one's strengths and instincts in order to build a successful real estate empire. Amy dives into her own journey of discovering her true self and how it has led to success. She provides an exercise for listeners to help them center themselves and focus their energy on where they should be focusing. They also discuss the idea of prioritizing mental energy in order to find freedom and joy in one's work. Additionally, they explore the importance of changing our mindset when it comes to balancing work and life by accepting that there is no perfect balance and taking time for ourselves. Amy's conversation encourages us to be mindful of each other's strengths and weaknesses, embrace our innate traits, get clear on what success looks like before starting any project, use our strengths as a way to reach excellence with freedom, collaborate outside our usual circle, understand our own needs first, and give ourselves grace during difficult times.

Ladies, this episode will guide us through how understanding oneself can set one up for success!
