Conversation Wall
For my internship project the company has a long empty wall in the hallway that leads to the Tech Cafe and Training Room. I realized that although the company has over one hundred and fifty agents only about forty have earned their own private office. Because of this there are many agents that don’t see each other often and don’t know very much about each other. I came up with the idea of a conversation wall. I emailed everyone in the company and let them know what I was working on. They were asked to send me one of their favorite pictures (by themselves or with others) and answer the 3 questions that I listed for them below. I also told them that the picture could be of somewhere they have traveled or a special moment they want to share. I then had the picture printed, I typed up their answers and framed it so that it could be posted on the wall.

The skill I learned the most was to be able to communicate with people I didn’t know. It was easier for me to talk to the agents I had already met in the office but it was really hard for me to get on the phone and call all the agents I didn’t know. It pushed me to get my thoughts organized before I made the calls and then just do it! The first ones were the hardest but everyone was very nice and then it got easier. I feel my project contributed to the office because now people are excited to see who else was added to the wall. It also got people
Questions:
1. What is this picture of and why is this the picture you choose?
It is of my husband and me on our boat and I chose it because life is truly about your relationships with those you love. and living each day as if it were to be your last.
2. What is something most people don't know about you?
That I am a vegan and an animal rights activist
3. When it comes to your business, what was the best advice you have received?....and why was this good for you or your business?
To always do the right thing, even if it means losing a client or losing money. This has been good for me and my business because what goes around really does come back around and now I have the reputation of being 'that' realtor who will always do something the honest, right way.
