Season 4 Episode #10. When the student is ready the teacher will appear.

In this episode Michael talks with Shay Ryan-Blakeslee. Shay started her real estate career in 2019 and coached with me for close to a year then she attended a Ninja installation in the fall of 2021. With very young kids and coming from a corporate job into being an independent contractor in real estate routine was going to be a big need for Shay.

Shay was quick to start running the ninja habits and we always say when things are going well it is easy to be consistent but when things get difficult that is when the real work starts.

In Jan 2023 The Windermere Columbia River Gorge offices took a huge hit when they lost their fearless leader Kim Salvensen-Pauly to cancer.

This was difficult for everyone and required that individuals step up and continue to build on the amazing culture and professionalism that Kim Salvensen-Pauly and Kim Chamness had worked so hard to create.

Now with Kim C. Rachel Broughton and Shay working together they are helping their agents have amazing business and work life balance.

Shay shared how Ninja was the foundation for the habits and routines that allowed them to carry on and help hold the office accountable during difficult times.

Two items that Shay really holds onto are Gratitude’s and starting her day early.

She also Mentioned a great book. Manifest by Roxie Nafousi and I’m excited to read this book.
