    Navigating Mentorship in Real Estate - Rashida Clarke's Journey from Community Organizer to Rock Star in the Industry

    When Rashida Clarke, a Hampton native and full-time entrepreneur, decided she couldn't wait for someone else to recognize her potential, she jumped into the unpredictable world of real estate without a mentor, only to find that the odds were stacked against her success. "I wanted to help people who knew that fast forward so many years, I'd end up helping people, but in a different capacity. Right. Like, not as a social worker, but still using that passion to help others." Rashida Clarke is a Hampton native, full-time entrepreneur, and real estate rock star. She has an extensive background in community outreach and youth engagement, and has been a real estate agent for eight years. Rashida Clarke is a Hampton native who decided to pursue a career in real estate after feeling unsatisfied with her job in community outreach and youth engagement. She took a chance on real estate, and has been successful in it for eight years, despite the high turnover rate. She emphasizes the importance of mentorship in the industry, and the need to find a brokerage with a rookie program to get the training and resources needed to succeed. She also explains the difference between a real estate agent, a broker, and a Realtor, and how a brokerage can create teams of agents. Despite the joys of the job, there are still obstacles to overcome. In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. The importance of mentorship and how it can help prevent failure in the real estate industry. 2. The difference between real estate agent and Realtor, and what a brokerage is. 3. The obstacles to succeeding in the real estate industry, and why the turnover rate is so high. Quotes: "You don't have to jump head first into this space full time. Tiptoe into it on a part time basis." "Do not believe everything you see on social media." "You've got to have some marketing money. You got to have some money to pay your bills. You got some money to put gas in your car." Rashida's Major Key: Reach out to an agent wherever you are and have coffee with them or go have lunch. Ask them about their experience in the market and use that to make a more informed decision. Let’s Stay Connected! Interested in working with me 1:1? Schedule your FREE Discovery Call today!

    The Journey to Career Joy with Mary Adeyemi

    Support the show In this episode, Kristina and Mary talked all things career progression as two industry sisters who support each other from a distance. Mary's work in the UK  is aligned with the work Kristina does here in the US and the gems dropped in this episode help individuals at all stages of their career. Check out the full episode! HIGHLIGHTS: Mary Mosope Adeyemi is a passionate, people-oriented, and purpose-driven woman who successfully walks the tightrope of business and social pursuits. She is an award-winning investment professional with a long tenure working with global investment banks. Alongside her functional role, Mary has spent thousands of hours developing, executing, and managing talent recruitment and training programs, focusing on early career professionals. This passion for personal development and equitable career growth led her to found her social-first organization, viSHEbility, and write her debut book: Visible Strengths. In this episode, you will learn the following: How to combine multiple passions into one career Why we need a variety of mentors and sponsors who may look and sound very different from us The key steps to realizing the beauty of “career joy” QUOTABLES: “Mentors can look and sound very different. They don't have to always look like you. If they do, great, and you're able to get something out of them...fantastic. If they don't, that's okay, too. The fact is that as human beings we're more alike than we think actually and so the moment you can give space for people to contribute to your life and be open to receiving that then the more sort of places you can connect. I fundamentally believe in humanity and that people are constantly probably more looking for how to help rather than how to hurt.” “Unfortunately, we’ve turned forming relationships (or networking) as a transaction, but it’s about finding points of connection. “Finding career joy really is being in a place where you’re using what’s most natural to you to drive forward the agenda of your organization to contribute value in a way that is super tangible. But also to do that in a way that you are growing yourself and you’re also achieving your own goals.” “Many of us are constantly living out somebody else’s life, unfortunately.” MARY’S MAJOR KEY: “Self-Awareness! Just know yourself and to thyself, be true.” Who are you and how are you going to show up as your full self at home and at work?

"I know I'm going to bring my A-game no matter what!" "It doesn't matter that 99% of the people that are in this space don't look like me because I'm going to come to the table anyway." "I'm not going to feel othered. I'm not going to feel less than." "You can't reflect to me energy that I'm not giving you." "It has been a welcomed experience because I welcome myself." "We have to reframe the narrative and think about what makes us powerful and I do think that our family units is one of them."

Every time you get a NO, think of that as a gift.Go at it the Nike way - Just Do It! The best advice is not to take any advice. Be informed, but do not be obsessed with anyone's pathway.
