The NAILBA Executive Forum is an invitation-only NAILBA original program specifically targeted to NAILBA agency principals and senior-level executives.

While most NAILBA educational programs trend toward the business of brokerage, this event is the first of its kind that focuses on growing the agency executive's personal equity.

The 2009 program will focus on what it takes to build your personal brand -- your skills, the way you carry yourself, your individuality, your traits, your persona. Agency principals will be challenged to shift their thinking and attitudes in differentiate themselves from others in their organization and industry, creating powerful business opportunities as a result.

Brand Brilliance Creating an Executive Edge
Presented by Simon T. Bailey (see below for more information about the speaker)

What makes your agency different? Sure, your commission structure and customer service may set you apart. But in the relationship-driven world of the independent brokerage industry, the REAL difference is YOU!

The moment your agents, clients, and industry partners first interact with you, they will judge you. And, by judging you they will be judging your agency. Your customers want to know who YOU are, because you are the face of your agency. Integrity, resourcefulness, customer-focused…if you project these traits, your agency will reflect them as well.

So, what message are YOU sending?

Simon Bailey, an internationally known speaker, author and consultant, will help you better understand how your brand—who YOU are, what you project, and how you are perceived impacts your agency’s success.

A fresh voice in the businesses world, Bailey connects the dots between individual and organizational brilliance. He will challenge you to shift your thinking and attitudes to achieve higher levels of engagement, retention, and productivity – and a brilliant bottom line.

By being cognizant of, and focusing on building your personal brand, you can differentiate yourself in the industry, and create a powerful executive and BUSINESS edge as a result.
