Mindset matters: learning from the best

It’s incredible how far you can go with continuous training and support...

If there's one thing that defines this haus it's our desire for learning and evolving as a team. Speaking of which, we recently had a new series of insightful training sessions with Josh Phegan – world renowned real estate coach and haus & haus mentor. As always, there was a buzz in the air as we entered the theatre and waited for the event to kick off.

Josh was back in the haus for two days of professional real estate training and lifestyle coaching. He talked about the importance having a 15-year plan, went through what a successful daily routine looks like, and explained how to turn problems into opportunities.

As a team, we also took part in a few self-reflection exercises like contemplating our achievements, creating a gratitude list, and talking to the person next to us about what motivates us. Empowering stuff.

Thanks to an exclusive agreement, we're the only UAE real estate agency receiving regular training sessions from Josh. So besides having the support of our in-house trainers and directors, we also get to learn from one of the world's most influential property coaches. Pretty cool, right?

"Real estate is a very competitive industry, especially in a place like Dubai. To make a successful career out of it, you need to have the right support and a strong platform," said haus & haus Managing Director James Perry. "We're proud to be offering so many opportunities for our team. It's all about lifting each other and reaching our goals together."

It's not all about our own growth, though...

By attending regular training sessions, we can show up for our clients more effectively and support them in their journey. Clients are at the centre of everything we do (it’s even part of our core values), so we strive to take our knowledge to the next level in order to give them the best service ever.

"One of the main takeaways for me was the importance of soft skills and a friendly approach when it comes to selling a property," says Barbara Greco, Off Plan and Investments Consultant at haus & haus who has been with the company for just four months. "From the tone of voice to professional communication, taking care of every aspect is essential. As Josh said: be so good they can't ignore you."

Besides knowledge and useful tips, Josh also shared some inspiring quotes that got us into a positive mindset. One of our favourites was "be an igniter" – an expression that he used to describe someone who lights up a room from the second they walk in. We're all about being proactive in this team (another core value), so we're no strangers to this one.

We know that when you’re just starting out, the road to success can feel long and daunting, but having the right resources and an uplifting environment helps.

Can’t wait for the next sessions.
