#2 Feels Really Good

Although the flood has “dampened” the week, I participated in an event this morning that took all the clouds away. This morning, the Atlanta Business Chronicle recognized the Rawls Group as the Runner Up for the Best Places To Work in Atlanta.


Having come from a corporate background, after joining Keller Williams in 2004, I quickly realized that I was working for a company that was very different from traditional companies. I was surrounded by associates that really cared about each other. Time and time again, I have been humbled by the level of professionalism, caring, and integrity of the people I work with.

For instance, I am currently participating in the BOLD coaching program. During the first session with Michael Bastian, Michael asked us to write down what a life worth living looks like? This was a powerful question. Michael then dug deeper by asking “why is that important to you?” Michael's probing questions helped me to realize what truly matters to me and as a result I got a little teary-eyed. Later that evening I received an email from another team leader who was sitting in the room. He said “Connie, people that cry concern me. Why were you crying this morning? Everything okay?” That little gesture of concern was so heartfelt and honest. It exemplifies how Keller Williams’ agents really do care about helping others.


I have always struggled with how to tell others how incredible it is to work in the Rawls Group (http://www.rawlsgroup.org/) at Keller Williams Realty. Culture is a “feeling”. It is hard to describe a feeling.


Today, at the Georgia Aquarium, surrounded by some of the best companies in Atlanta, that “feeling” was validated. There is no other award that we could have received that would have meant more to me as a leader in the company.


If you would like to know more about why Keller Williams Atlanta Perimeter is the Best Place to Work in Atlanta, please give me a call for a confidential appointment. It truly is a great place to work (and we have a lot of fun, too)!!!
