In every journey, whether personal or professional, challenges can arise, testing our resilience and determination. But as the old saying goes, “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” In this week’s episode of WSATV, Laura Rubinstein had an enlightening conversation with Brigitte Stills. Brigitte is a dynamic leader in the real estate industry in Australia and an instrumental team member of the Women’s Speakers Association. Together, they explored the art of overcoming challenges and turning those obstacles into stepping stones for success. Let’s delve into their conversation and extract the pearls of wisdom they shared.
1. Discover the Source of Your Confidence Issues
Brigitte shared her invaluable insights on how post-pandemic, many people find themselves struggling with confidence. She advises individuals to take a step back and identify the root causes of their confidence challenges. Is it a work-related issue, personal dissatisfaction, or external criticism? Understanding where these feelings stem from is the first step to overcoming them. Brigitte suggests that, often, simply analyzing and acknowledging the cause can be half the battle won.
2. Learn to Listen and Decipher
Brigitte emphasized the importance of listening—not just hearing words, but understanding the message behind them. She pointed out that often, we might internalize criticism or comments that were never meant to be personal attacks. By truly listening and not taking criticisms personally, we allow ourselves the freedom to grow from them rather than being hindered by them.
3. Passion Fuels Perseverance
Throughout her career, Brigitte faced significant gender-based challenges in real estate, a predominantly male field when she started. Her passion for her work kept her motivated despite these obstacles. She encourages others to find their passion, as it acts as a fuel that keeps the fire burning even through the toughest challenges. Passion can guide you to persevere, propelling you toward your goals.
4. Continuous Growth and Mentorship
Discussing her role as a consultant and a coach, Brigitte highlighted the importance of mentorship and continuous self-improvement. She learned that even seasoned professionals can always use guidance and fresh perspectives. Mentorship is a two-way street; it not only aids in personal growth but also ensures you’re well-equipped to guide others.
5. Adapt to Economic Changes
Brigitte also addressed current challenges in the real estate market, such as economic fluctuations and staffing dilemmas. Her advice? Stay adaptive. Economies will always have ebbs and flows, but how you respond to these changes can dictate your success. By being flexible and open to innovation in business practices, you can weather any economic storm.
6. Celebrate Your Wins
Finally, both Brigitte and Laura agree on the power of celebrating wins—no matter how small they seem. Every achievement is a testament to your efforts and determination. Celebrating these moments not only boosts morale but also reinforces your motivation to achieve the next big goal. Overcoming challenges and achieving wins is a process that involves understanding yourself, leveraging your passions, finding mentors, adapting to changes, and celebrating your progress. With perseverance, anyone can carve a niche in their industry and emerge a winner.
Brigitte’s interview reminds us, that every challenge we face is simply another opportunity to shine. So dive into those challenges headfirst and come out victorious.
